爱的开始

外婆与外公到底是如何相识？答案就在照片内。



坐在外公右边的那位女士就是为他们牵上红线的媒婆，也是站在外公右边三老姨的家婆。据知是在外婆前往新加坡才认识的。三老姨的家婆与他们的家属又有什么样的关系呢？

我也想知道外婆与外公是否像我们现在一般一样有机会拍拍拖，或只有在婚后慢慢坠入爱河？

Where it all began ...

So, where did the union of Po Po and Gong Gong occur? How did they meet?


(L-R) Unknown, third Lau Yee's husband, his mother, third Lau Yee, Gong Gong (grandpa), Lau Gu's wife (Grandma's sister-in-law), First Lau Gu (Grandma's brother)

Po Po was introduced to Gong Gong by Third Lau Yee's (Po Po's third sister) mother-in-law when she came to Singapore. She is seated to the right of Gong Gong in the photo above. No details have been given in regards to how she was related to both their families initially. Was she a match-maker or friends of both their families? Why did Po Po come to Singapore? Was it to meet the man that she would eventually marry?

I would also like to know how long it took for them to get acquainted and get married. Did they go on any dates like we are used to, or was it the traditional "Let's get to know each other after we get married.".

I hope someone will be able to enlighten us further.
