Two Families at the Table
The family's table on the Thursday evening, Uncle Chai and Aunt Oy, the Reeds, Jack as the mouth between them: we agree that the engagement is after New Year; what does the groom's side bring? The elders and the gold; the dowry we talk about on the engagement day; tell your mother the bride's side cooks; Mom agrees if she can learn it; agreed, Monday at five; we think that February is good for the wedding; both sides agree that the sweets are delicious: agree that, think that, and the word for a side.
