My Daughter's Wedding

Dear CP Friends,

I have had hard time weighing the pros and cons whether or not to
inform you the following piece of news. Eventually last week, P’Kasian
convinced me to release the invitation.

My daughter, Tip Wasinee, is getting married to a Uni. friend in
Chiangmai this May 5th. They were former classmates in their
undergraduate course at CMU and destiny has it that after many years
as just friends they are now meant to be united.
The info. in the attached pix of the invitation card may reveal a bit
more details about the event. However, the engagement ceremony shall
be held in the morning of that date at Mae Joe, some 10 km away in the
groom’s parents’ residence. And the evening meal at Lotus Pang Suan
Kaew Hotel in town shall be – as I have been informed – Northern Thai
dishes served at the tables.

Tip is known to quite a few CP friends since I take her several times
to our functions, and hence the hard time I had been experiencing –
whether or not to tell – to uncles and aunties living so far away from
the celebration venue. May I say this to you, now that I have decided
to release the info. upon P’Kasian’s consultation, that this should
be treated as just another piece of news to be known and
congratulated. However, if any of you deem it convenient and
appropriate to attend, Nee and I shall be more than delighted to play
host. So far I have heard from P’Kasian, that apart from himself who
shall walk up the podium to be one of those who bless the bride and
groom, Ying Sirilaksana who has learned from him has also booked her
place at the Hotel and my Tip is feeling very honoured to have such a
warm, respectful and prominent auntie to come up north to her
occasion. Wichit also rang me up and assured that Ah and himself shall
make it a holiday alongside at this northern city (May 5th is the
Coronation Day on a weekend, making it a long holiday with the Monday
off). As for all other friends, you ought not make it awkward for
yourselves, as well as for me and Nee, such as by sending gifts or
flowers if you cannot attend or are not convenient in any way. May I
state here once again that it is already a pleasure to have informed
you as friends of Tip’s father.

Thanks in advance to those of us who can make it, and also to those
who cannot make it.

With Best Regards,

Wiwat and Darunee Sutiwipakorn
