Marriage is not just the union of two individuals but the coming together of two families. With this in mind, we took the initiative to formally invite the Lai family for a lunch at the Way Modern Chinois in Kuala Lumpur on 8 November 2014. This was not the first time that we met our future in-law. We last met in Temerloh when we did a driving tour of Pahang in October 2013 (Read here). That was more a meeting of acquaintances rather than a meeting to discuss about marriage proposal and wedding.
The meeting as it turned out was casual and informal. It was meant to iron out a few issues which were already known but needed to be brought out face to face as a matter of formality. It was a frank and friendly conversation. We truly enjoyed the meeting. The ambiance contributed to the relaxing atmosphere. Of course, not everything could be worked out in just one discussion. Until the day of the major event which is about eight months away, many details still need to be worked out and arrangement to be made.
The meeting venue, Way Modern Chinois was chosen based on recommendation by my niece, Suanie. This is a classy and unique restaurant specializing in Chinese and Asian cuisine.
We were offered the spacious private room which was conducive for discussion.
The dessert was unique but the quantum was surprisingly "small" and insufficient to satisfy the appetite of diners.
