Summary

Let’s be real! The invites for weddings start to pile up as we get older and fill up our social calendars. In our first season, we talked about our fantasies of our dream weddings, but we realized that there’s a perspective that we didn’t talk about...attending a wedding as a guest! Whether the waves of weddings have just begun or you’ve attended a handful the last 10 years, there are a lot of traditions and unspoken things you need to know as a guest. From how much money to gift, do you bring a +1, to things you should expect when attending a wedding. So for this episode, we walk through the tips we learned, the different cultural ceremonies we’ve attended, and share some fun & cringe-worthy stories as wedding guests!

0:00.0	Welcome to ABG Asian Boss Girl, a podcast for the modern-day Asian-American woman.
0:04.4	I'm Janet, I'm Mel, and I'm Helen.
0:18.4	Weddings. A topic honestly love talking about. In our first season, we talked about our fantasies
0:23.7	about our dream wedding, but we realized that there's a new perspective that we didn't talk about.
0:27.5	Attending a wedding as a guest. I find the wave of weddings to have just begun for me,
0:31.8	and I'm learning a lot. Yes, I've had my fair share of attending many weddings of close friends
0:37.0	and family, and depending on the type of wedding, there are lots of different traditions
0:42.0	and unspoken things that, you know, you kind of need to know as a guest, everything from how much
0:46.9	to gift to, you know, what are the protocols around bringing a plus one, to what you should expect
0:52.4	when you're attending the wedding. I agree, and although this might be different for every
0:57.2	bride and groom, you always want to fall within a certain range of what's expected, and now that we
1:02.0	are in our 30s and have attended a fair amount of weddings from our friends, we've gone a good

1:12.8	about attending weddings as a guest, and in the spirit of the returning wedding season, share some
1:18.1	fun stories of attending weddings too. So as it gives some people contacts, how many weddings have
1:22.6	you each attended? Oh, honestly, it's hard to count because I did go to a lot of weddings as a kid
1:29.4	seeing aunts and uncles, and the older generation get married, which were mostly like Chinese
1:34.8	banquet style weddings, and the traditional Chinese tea ceremony type weddings. But as an adult,
1:41.2	I think the first wedding I attended might have been my high school volleyball coach. Shout out to
1:46.3	we, if you're listening, but that was a super fun wedding. A lot of my volleyball friends were there,
1:51.3	and we were definitely hitting up the bars. I also have been to my sister's wedding in Hawaii,
1:56.8	which I was the maid of honor for. My friend Amy's wedding in Costa Rica, my friend Johnson Eurie's
