Getting married after the New Year?

[Sweet_Tears]

For those who are non-christians.. What is the real reason behind this?

[Christa]

I don't think there is a reason behind this. I think it's more of meeting the person during the new year celebration and taking off, since both clicked.

Well, sometimes when people want to get married. The old folks would advised them to get married after the New Year instead.

I've heard of parents advising their children to marry on a certain day or month for goodluck, but not after the new year. Strange...

"Tom xyoo tshiab". But I heard this only happens with non-christian families though.

You all have parents... go ask them. Even if you are a christian nutcase, your parents weren't always were. When you convert you lose your religion and culture. Throw away your Hmong clothes and Hmong language.

My exact thoughts minus the bashing. Lol

I don't have parents that's why I asked.

Uncles. Aunts. Cousins. I am sure you have one of those.  But the way you formulated your question makes you too bashing against non Christians.

No bashing against non-christians. The reason why I asked this is because I have a friend who is dating a non-christian man. They wanted to get married this year but the mom said for them to wait until xyooj tshiab before he can marry her. So, I'm just asking if there was a meaning behind this request? If not than I get it!

They wanted to get married on Christmas day which is the 25th. But when he asked his mom, his mom said "No, son, you have to wait until the New Year" to take in a bride.

New year to Hmong is around end of november. Someone correct me if wrong. I'm assuming the mom thought it'd be easier for everyone after the holidays, especially the 25th of dec.
They can always do legally on the 25th which no court will be open anyway.

I don't know.. the reasoning that's why I'm asking. How about two brothers can't get married in the same year?

Yes. That! I know that much. They may not. They could but may not.
