♪今日は慌しい雛祭り

3月3日(火)快晴

豪州に移住して良かったことは冠婚葬祭の付き合いが不要なこと。形式も大事だけど人間関係の本質は愛。元来お経と宝塚は大の苦手。日本では葬式も結婚式も欠席して香典やお祝いを届けるだけで済ませてきた。しかし36歳になる息子が近々結婚するかもしれないと聞き、明日急遽日本に飛びます。未対面の相手方のご両親へのご挨拶は不可欠。結婚式はやらないそうですが、略式でも結納は必要なのだろう。

Today is busy Girl’s Day
Tue. March 3 : fine

One big thing about moving to Australia is that I don’t need any ceremonial associations. The form can be important but the essence of human relationship is love. I never ever liked sutra or Takaraduka. I used to just send some monetary offerings instead of attending the funerals or weddings in Japan. However, I’m flying to Japan in a hurry tomorrow because my 36-year old son might get married soon. It is indispensable to make my compliments to his girlfriend’s parents I have never met yet. He said they would not have a wedding ceremony but I believe I need to send them some betrothal gift.
