Although Marcus and I are a pair of modern couple, there are many customary measures that we are unable to run away from and we dont mind doing it as well to show that we truly belong to the Chinese roots. Hahaha
There were several debates amongst our friends on whether we should hire a 'Tai Kam Jie' and the roles of one. Almost all Chinese wedding would need a Tai Kam Jie or known as Wedding Chaperon in English to be there. Based on other cousins wedding including my own sister, I realised that there is a need for a Tai Kam Jie but the person must at least fulfilled this few criterias:
1) Must be a flexible person which can adapt to changes
2) Pleasant looking
3) Quick thinking and observant
4) Able to help my mom and MIL with ad-hoc chores
5)Well versed in tradition and Chinese customary stuff
After much (not that I have alot of choices) consideration, we have hired a lady by the name of Doris who is also the Tai Kam Jie for KC (my cousin)'s wedding. Price is RM400 and we have paid RM100 as deposit.
Hope all goes well (lesson learnt from sis's wedding on hiring Tai Kam Jie).
