Getting married / 結婚

傑哥終於要結婚了，儘管我們是個內斂的家庭，還是掩不住激動的喜悅，我和竣弟甚至已經開始幻想當乾爸乾媽的日子。

My brother Jei is finally getting married. Though we are a reserved family, we still can’t help showing our overflowing joy. Jun and I have even started to imagine being godfather and godmother to Jei’s future kids.

媽媽在電話上問未來的弟妹：妳確定了嗎？對於這個人的習性妳都瞭解，還是願意嗎？她搶了神父的台詞，但卻更有份量，因為那代表我們對她的全心接受和喜愛。

Mom asked my future sister-in-law on the phone: Are you sure of the decision? Having thoroughly known this person’s strengths and weaknesses, are you willing to go down the road of life with him? She stole the priest’s lines, but they were far weightier coming from my mom. The questions symbolize our heartfelt sincerity and love for her.

出席年底紐約的公證婚禮對我來說是個不可能的夢想，所以在這裡先獻上無窮的祝福：我親愛的弟弟，祝你幸福！

It’s an impossible dream for me to attend the notarized marriage ceremony at the end of the year in New York, so here are my early best wishes: My dear Jei, happy marriage!
