<p class="ql-block">新冠疫情席卷全球，攪動(dòng)世局，也讓女兒的婚禮與婚宴相隔了整整兩年。女兒的婆家對(duì)婚禮儀式的完整性充滿熱情與堅(jiān)持，終于在2023年5月，世界衛(wèi)生組織宣布新冠疫情結(jié)束之后，于美國北卡羅來納州的羅利（Raleigh, North Carolina）如愿補(bǔ)辦了婚宴，圓滿完成了這場(chǎng)跨越時(shí)間與挑戰(zhàn)的慶典。</p><p class="ql-block">The COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down, and as a result, our daughter’s wedding and wedding banquet were held two years apart. Her in-laws, with heartfelt enthusiasm and a deep respect for the completeness of the wedding tradition, insisted on fulfilling the full celebration. At last, in May 2023—after the World Health Organization declared the end of the global COVID-19 emergency—the wedding banquet was joyfully held in Raleigh, North Carolina, bringing the long-awaited celebration to a beautiful completion.</p> <p class="ql-block"> 我兩年前的美篇《疫情下女兒的婚禮（上）婚禮篇》中較詳細(xì)的記錄了婚禮的過程，一般規(guī)模的印度婚禮大概有 3 到 4 場(chǎng)儀式，常見有姜黃儀式（Haldi）、畫手儀式（Mehndi）、迎娶（Barat）、正式婚禮（Wedding）、婚宴（Reception）；交換婚戒儀式（Ring Ceromony）、婚禮前的歌舞之夜（Sangeet）。在這些公開儀式之外，還有小型家祭，</p><p class="ql-block"> 女兒的婚禮， 除了Sangeet （歌舞之夜）和Reception （正式婚宴），其它的儀式在兩年前都圓滿舉辦了。</p><p class="ql-block">In my article from two years ago, “My Daughter’s Wedding During the Pandemic (Part I – The Wedding)”, I documented the wedding process in some detail. A typical Indian wedding usually includes three to four main ceremonies, with common ones being the Haldi (turmeric ceremony), Mehndi (henna ceremony), Barat (groom’s procession), the Wedding itself, and the Reception. Other events may include the Ring Ceremony and Sangeet (a pre-wedding evening of music and dance). In addition to these public celebrations, there are often smaller, private family rituals.</p><p class="ql-block">For our daughter’s wedding, all the ceremonies—except for the Sangeet and the Reception—were successfully held two years ago.</p> <p class="ql-block"> 女兒在歌舞之夜和婚宴上的服裝，皆由親家母親自前往印度定制，純手工制作，費(fèi)時(shí)費(fèi)工，極盡匠心。服飾采用繁復(fù)的設(shè)計(jì)、艷麗的色彩、精美的刺繡與華麗的珠飾，充分展現(xiàn)了印度傳統(tǒng)文化的多樣性與視覺張力，令人嘆為觀止。新娘的整套婚宴造型——包括華服、珠寶與配飾——無疑為整個(gè)婚禮增添了奢華而莊重的氛圍。</p><p class="ql-block">當(dāng)女兒披上這身華服步入婚宴殿堂，金線織就的紗麗隨步伐翻涌，仿佛季風(fēng)中搖曳的蓮湖。每一針一線，皆是祝福的凝結(jié)；每一顆寶石，都是文明的星辰。這場(chǎng)超越奢華的視覺盛宴，最終在婚宴圣火的輝映中，升華為兩個(gè)古老文明的深情共舞</p><p class="ql-block"> </p><p class="ql-block">The outfits worn by my daughter during the Sangeet and the wedding receptionwere all meticulously custom-made in India by her mother-in-law, who personally oversaw every detail. Entirely handcrafted, these garments were a labor of love and extraordinary craftsmanship. With intricate designs, vivid colors, exquisite embroidery, and lavish beadwork, the attire showcased the richness and diversity of traditional Indian culture—visually stunning and truly awe-inspiring.</p><p class="ql-block">The bride’s complete wedding ensemble—including her attire, jewelry, and accessories—undoubtedly added an air of grandeur and solemn beauty to the entire celebration.</p><p class="ql-block">As my daughter stepped into the wedding reception hall draped in this resplendent garment, the gold-threaded sari rippled with her every movement, like a lake of lotuses swaying in the monsoon breeze. Every stitch embodied a blessing; every jewel shimmered like a star in the constellation of civilization. This visual symphony—surpassing mere luxury—was ultimately elevated, under the glow of the sacred wedding fire, into a poetic dance of two ancient cultures joined in harmony.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"> </p> <p class="ql-block"> 每當(dāng)提起我們的女婿，我們的內(nèi)心總是充滿欣慰與自豪。他先后在Duke University, Wake Forest University, University of Florida and University of North carolina 學(xué)習(xí)成長為一名介入心臟科醫(yī)生，工作在著名的Rex Hospital of UNC.每天披星戴月、還常常在深夜從熟睡中喚醒趕去醫(yī)院救治急危重病人。他始終站在心血管疾病診療的最前沿，在精密復(fù)雜的導(dǎo)管室中，以嫻熟的技藝守護(hù)跳動(dòng)的心臟，挽救無數(shù)寶貴的生命。</p><p class="ql-block">更令我們深感珍貴的，是他那金子般的品格。他不僅擁有卓越的學(xué)識(shí)與技能，更懷抱一顆溫暖善良的心。他性格沉穩(wěn)，情緒平和，無論是置身于緊張的手術(shù)臺(tái)前，還是在日常生活的點(diǎn)滴之中，他總以從容自若的態(tài)度面對(duì)一切，帶給家人無比的安全感與力量。</p><p class="ql-block">我們由衷為女婿驕傲，更感恩我們的女兒能擁有他這樣的伴侶。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Whenever we speak of our son-in-law, our hearts are always filled with pride and gratitude. He studied and grew into an interventional cardiologist through his journey at Duke University, Wake Forest University, the University of Florida, and the University of North Carolina. He now works at the renowned Rex Hospital of UNC. Each day, he leaves early and returns late, often being woken in the middle of the night to rush to the hospital to save critically ill patients. He remains at the forefront of cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment, skillfully operating in complex catheterization labs to safeguard beating hearts and save countless precious lives.</p><p class="ql-block">What we treasure even more is his golden character. Not only is he highly knowledgeable and skilled, but he also possesses a warm and kind heart. With a calm and steady demeanor, he maintains composure whether standing before a high-pressure operating table or going about daily life. His presence brings a deep sense of safety and strength to our family.</p><p class="ql-block">We are truly proud of our son-in-law and deeply grateful that our daughter has such a remarkable partner in life.</p> <p class="ql-block"> 女兒十三歲隨我們赴美，以稚嫩雙肩擔(dān)起異鄉(xiāng)風(fēng)雨，從零開始，一個(gè)字母一個(gè)單詞地攀爬語言的階梯。那時(shí)的堅(jiān)韌，早已在歲月里生根發(fā)芽——從密歇根大學(xué)的殿堂到醫(yī)學(xué)院的白袍加身，女兒一步步將“不可能”踏成腳下的路。如今執(zhí)起聽診器，以仁心守護(hù)生命，是我們眼中的驕傲。 </p><p class="ql-block">女兒生就一副清麗如蘭的姿容，眉目間卻比容貌更動(dòng)人的，是那份自信從容的氣度。無需華服珠飾，她站在那里，便是一首沉靜的詩：慧心琢玉，蘭質(zhì)生香。婚宴上燈火如星河傾瀉，可萬千璀璨，不及她垂眸淺笑時(shí)，眼底那泓溫柔堅(jiān)定的光。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Our daughter came with us to the United States at the age of thirteen, bearing the challenges of a foreign land on her young shoulders. Starting from scratch, she climbed the ladder of language one letter, one word at a time. The resilience she showed back then has long since taken root and flourished with time. — From the halls of the University of Michigan to the moment she donned the white coat of medical school, she has turned each “impossibility” into a path beneath her feet. Now, with a stethoscope in hand and compassion in her heart, she safeguards life itself—the pride of our eyes and hearts.</p><p class="ql-block">She was born with a grace as pure and elegant as an orchid, but what shines even brighter than her beauty is the quiet confidence and poise in her gaze. No need for ornate dress or jewels—simply standing there, she is like a poem come to life: a mind shaped by wisdom, a spirit fragrant like spring.</p><p class="ql-block">At the wedding, lights shimmered like a river of stars—but no brilliance could compare to that fleeting moment when she lowered her eyes and smiled, revealing a glow of gentle strength and unwavering warmth in her gaze</p> <p class="ql-block"> 安排一場(chǎng)二百多人的住宿、Sangeet、婚宴和近親的團(tuán)聚是一項(xiàng)繁瑣而復(fù)雜的任務(wù)。無論是為家庭成員、朋友還是其他賓客，確保他們?cè)谶@一系列的婚宴慶典上享受美好的時(shí)光，都需要投入大量的資金和精力去細(xì)心策劃和組織。</p><p class="ql-block">Organizing accommodations, the Sangeet, the wedding reception, and a family reunion for over two hundred guests was a complex and demanding undertaking.

From guest accommodations and transportation to the culinary offerings and the overall ambiance, every aspect was meticulously planned, thoughtfully executed, and flawless in its delivery.</p><p class="ql-block">She arranged for out-of-town guests to stay at a hotel that was not only spacious and elegantly appointed but also nestled amidst lush greenery, offering a serene and calming environment. The Sangeet—the festive night of music and dance—was held in the hotel’s grand banquet hall, providing both convenience and comfort, and setting a tone that was at once dignified and exuberant.</p><p class="ql-block">The wedding banquet itself was a grand tribute to her hospitality, warmth, and deep familial affection. Guests were treated to a sumptuous array of traditional Indian dishes, each one a testament to the richness and refinement of Indian cuisine. From the aromatic biryani to the deeply layered curries, from the crisp and golden dosa to the soft and pillowy naan, and on to the variety of flavorful chutneys and exquisite desserts—like the syrup-soaked Gulab Jamun and the creamy, fragrant Rasmalai—every dish was infused with the host family’s care and generosity.</p><p class="ql-block">Separate sections were thoughtfully arranged for vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, accommodating guests from diverse cultural backgrounds and dietary preferences. The drink offerings were equally abundant—from refreshing juices and fragrant masala chai to fine wines and traditional beverages—all served with attentive, gracious service. The result was not just a feast for the palate, but an experience that offered comfort, joy, and heartfelt connection.</p><p class="ql-block">It was as if the bride’s mother-in-law had taken up food as her medium, composing a Mahabharata-like epic of generosity upon the canvas of white linen tablecloths—each cumin seed, each pinch of turmeric, a sacred fusion of intention and wisdom. Through this magnificent feast, she wrote a tender, vivid chapter of hospitality and familial love.</p><p class="ql-block">This was far more than a wedding banquet—it was a sanctuary of warmth and culture. As the sacred chants of the Pune fire ceremony rose in the air, and guests basked in the golden glow of mango-leaf votives, they not only tasted the richness of Indian spices but also the quiet, enduring warmth of a mother’s heart. In that moment, the banquet hall was transformed into a space blessed by the gods—woven with threads of generosity and compassion—crafting a memory that transcends ceremony and lives on as something truly eternal.</p><p class="ql-block"> </p> <p class="ql-block">親家母不僅是一位資深的會(huì)計(jì)師，更是一位稱職的母親。她全力支持丈夫的事業(yè)，悉心培養(yǎng)孩子成才，細(xì)致照顧家庭與親友，事無巨細(xì)，井井有條。她的才干與擔(dān)當(dāng)，讓我由衷敬佩。與她相處，如沐春風(fēng)，溫暖而自在。女兒每每提起她這位婆婆，言語間滿是贊美，甚至讓我這當(dāng)母親的也忍不住有幾分“嫉妒”。</p><p class="ql-block">從婚禮籌備到婚宴現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，她如將軍布陣般運(yùn)籌帷幄，周密安排，令人欽佩。讓我們?cè)緭?dān)心因文化風(fēng)俗差異而產(chǎn)生的隔閡與誤會(huì)，最終都未曾發(fā)生，成就了一場(chǎng)圓滿而溫馨的聯(lián)姻。</p><p class="ql-block">當(dāng)她盛裝出席，在華燈之下翩然起舞，那一刻，星月都黯然失色——原來，歲月從未辜負(fù)她，而她也以一份從容與風(fēng)華，溫柔回應(yīng)了時(shí)光的饋贈(zèng)。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">My daughter-in-law’s mother is not only a seasoned accountant, but also an exceptional mother.

Every time our daughter speaks of her mother-in-law, her words are filled with praise—so much so that, as her own mother, I sometimes feel just a hint of envy.</p><p class="ql-block">From the wedding preparations to the celebration itself, she orchestrated every detail with the precision of a general planning a flawless campaign.

Marriage is seen not merely as a sacred union between two individuals, but as the coming together of two families.
