My husband’s twin brother’s wedding will hold in the 23th June. My husband has 3 older brothers , his twin brother is the closest one . They are identical twin, however their characters are completely different. My husband is soft , patient, but a little bit timid , but his twin brother is more irritable but fearless.
They made very suddenly the date of their wedding because his fiancee’s visa for HK finishs soon, she wanted to have a long period visa instead of a traveling visa. Because of that , maybe I can’t get my passe card to HK before the wedding day. If it happens, I must fly to a third country and then go to HK. I must be present on the wedding as my husband and I will be the only relatives for his brother and I do also make up for the bride.
