Vol.90 Invitation of wedding ceremony


photo

I am invited to three wedding parties.
The 1st one is my senior from my college days.
The 2nd one is my classmate in college.
The 3rd one is my cousin.



If I were not the current situation, I mean, if I worked and I had money I would attend all of them.
It seems that some people hold a ceremony to collect money from their attendance, but I think all the three poeple noted avobe are definitely not the case.
They invited me to the parties because they are wanted to cerebrate by me.



Regarding the 1 st one, he will have a small party in a chartered restaurant.
He had been great help to me since I moved to the domitory.
But I do not have enough money to go to Hokkaido.
If he had the party in Tokyo, I could attend...
I can't seem to attend it for economic reason.
There must be some other way like sending a present to convey my feeling to him instead of attending.



The 2nd one, he kindly told me that he would bear the travelling expences.
So, In this case I do not have worry too much about the expense.
But unfortunately I have the interview of examination comingup after the ceremony.
I am afraid that I might bare my soul to my friends inspite of happy ocassions.
I expect some friends will ask me personal question about job, salary and marriage and so on.
If I worked now I would ask them the same things.
But I have a bad character with drinking.
When I drink with friends I become emotional.
I can control myself but the reunion must make me drink alcohol too much.
Maybe I will not be able to contol.


The 3rd one, only I was invited to the wedding ceremony of my cousin.
Although there is a fact that he has many cousins he invited me.
Because we played with each other when he was a kid.
And to my joy, they do not require any congratiraion tip to me.
So I will attend his ceremony.


I like to invited to the wedding ceremony in Arabic style.
You do not have to give them money or present.
All you have to do is chat, sing and dance.


# definitely not the case
全く当てはまらない、全然そんなことはない、

* 交通費を負担する
bear the travelling expenses

*********************************
三組の結婚式に呼ばれたが迷っている。
一人目は、お世話になった人だけど、遠方に行くためのお金が今の自分にはない。
何か送ってお祝いしようかと考え中。
二人目は、現地までの交通費は負担してくれるという。
だけど、今自分がこんな状態なので、二次会でお酒を飲んだ勢いで場を盛り下げるような存在にならないかどうか心配。めでたい席に今の自分はそぐわないんじゃないかなと。向こうが気にしなくてもこちらは意外と気にするもの。
三人目は従兄弟から。従兄弟の中で唯一招待されるのが私だそうだ。
ご祝儀もいらないからぜひ来ててほしいらしい。これには行く予定。
