Today my boyfriend will ask my father for my hand in marriage.
I'm very nervous.
We've been preparing for the ceremony since morning,
and I've already packed my suitcase.
If you guys have followed me since the very beginning, you'll know that I've traveled a long way with this suitcase
This time I've prepared my belongings for when I move out after the tradition.
My family members are getting ready.
Many gorgeous girls wearing deel (traditional Mongolian costume)
-He's my brother.
-Hello!
I used to fit and stand on his palm when I was a baby.
Now he is here for the ceremony of my boyfriend asking my father for my hand in marriage.
My grandma's deel is made out of Japanese silk.
When did you buy this?
-About twenty years ago.
-This one is forty years old.
This one is a Japanese silk deel as well.
This one that I'm wearing, is descended from my grandma.
And my mother has worn it as well.
We have this cute baby here.
Wow! She said the deel that I'm wearing is over 40 years old.
Look how cute Bodisaran's deel is.
Are you crying because I'm leaving?
Are we soon gonna be preparing for Bodisaran's engagement as well?
Wow! Let me see my little sister.
Oh she is busy.
My lovely sister.
Bodisaran exctly looks like her mom right?
She used to babysit me a lot.
-Wish you the best my dear.
I should take the apron off.
-Let me kiss my chubby Zaya.
-I used to be plump when I was small.
Can you please hold this for a second.
This is the Japanese silk deel.
It has good quality material which is very light.
Which is perfect for summer.
I wore this on many Lunar New Years
and I even wore it to my graduation.
It's descended from my grandma to my mother and now I own it.
A quick update.
Everything went out perfectly.
We successfully finished the ceremony and my boyfriend asked my father for my hands.
Everyone is eating at the moment.
I became very emotional.
This moment is extraordinary and memorable.
That's why I'm recording today to make it a remembrance for me,
my family, and my children.
And I'm beyond grateful to share this with you guys.
Now I'm going to eat buuz(traditional Mongolian meal) with salad
and drink some suutei tsai( traditional Mongolian beverage).
After that, I'll move out of my beloved home.
As you guys can see, I've prepared everything I need.
I'm almost ready to go.
I was shaking when I poured the tea.
It's such an exciting and overwhelming moment in life.
I'm very happy.
Hello everyone! Good afternoon for all of you who're watching my vlog.
I was editing this ceremony video
and got remarkably emotional and heartfelt after rewatching all those clips and videos.
If this feels so heartwarming only after a few months,
I can't imagine how touching it would be in many years.
I'm glad that I got a memento of that moment.
Today I'm going to share with you guys,
how I perceive and what I've learned from my traditional engagement ceremony.
Firstly, asking the parents for their daughter's hand is a respectful and honorable tradition for Mongolians.
I only saw it as nothing profound than this perspective.
However, after the ceremony,
both my boyfriend and I have undergone so much responsibility and obligation.
I see it from the good side.
At that moment, we were both startled.
Our parents met and discussed our future and my life
wearing traditional clothing in a ceremonial atmosphere.
Everything was very formal and distinguished.
I saw traditional engagement as a gesture of honor and respect, but my perspective was very shallow and lightweight.
Our parents taught us many things throughout our childhood.
And when we marry, we take after the couples' discipline from them.
I understood it from the ceremony.
All the people who attended the ceremony were the most honored, valued, and respected members of our families.
Those appreciated and distinguished people in our lives talked about the future and fortune that my boyfriend and I will handle together.
Which made us realise that we must be serious about it.
We understood that we shouldn't fail and disappoint each other.
Also, we must learn to be patient and not to give up on each other easily.
We realized that a new life and new responsibility are coming after the ceremony.
We both acknowledged that our relationship is not only being boyfriend and girlfriend,
but it's a duty and responsibility.
The most influential members of our families trusted us and granted us their blessings.
We agreed that we should let our families live in peace and calm.
In conclusion, we acknowledged that we should keep our relationship healthy and stable, and we must be responsible for the actions we take in the future.
I don't know if I'm clear.
I had that feeling.
Later on, I talked with my boyfriend, and he responded that he had undergone the same.
Our perspectives have transformed after the ceremony.
We moved in together right after the ceremony ended.
Tsogoo's family has brought me home.
I didn't know I was going to leave instantly.
Out of the blue, my family asked me if I had packed the other day.
I said "What?"
Then they told me that I was going to move out almost immediately.
I packed all my stuff a day before everything happened.
