To think about it, its actually my first wedding banquet that I attended since coming to Christ. How long is that? At least 2 years and 8 months!
Man, had revelations upon revelations at the banquet.
I felt that God really spoke through my auntie even thought she isn't a believer.
She said, "Xiang, this is what really happens at wedding dinners. Everyone would "Zhi Zhi Dian Dian" (literally: Point point dot dot, Translated: Scrutinise, Criticise) at the couple. Eg: Shotgun marriage la, or bride not pretty ar. Or they would praise you, Eg: "Wah, bride very pretty hor, Husband is "Dua Oh Seng" or "Tak Dua Oh eh" (Literally: Big learn student and Study big lear stn. Translated: University Graduate or undergrad."
Or they will talk about the menu to asses your financial power. What I have heard: "Haiyo, "Bai Ling Mushroom will oyster sauce lei. Bai Ling Mushroom sheng siong one can only $2.60"
Or they can study your life: "Why the Nan Fang friends all ah beng ah seng one?"
I was reminded of what Jimmy said, during Bible Study, about his friends wedding. Because the husband and wife wasn't of very good character and friends avoided them. During their wedding dinner, no one came. the hall was empty. To not let the bride feel disappointed, Jimmy had to get the ushers to stand in a line to block the view of the bride so that she couldn't see that it was empty. But when she stood on stage and the lights were on. The whole world saw that she got so disappointed and almost cried.
Than God really spoke, clear as crystal.
Your whole life would be exposed on your wedding day.
And when the Bridegroom comes for the church, our life would be exposed totally too.
Man, its not just the dinner, Its a God appointed dinner for a revelation.
Even though its sort of early for me to think about my own marriage, but everything that I am doing now, would be open and exposed to the whole world. Gotta start now.
