Chinese Wedding Taboo

[myfs_151463]

Hi Master,
If one's maternal grandmother pass away, does the wedding need to be conducted within 100 days or postpones to 3 years later?
I have checked various sources which mostly mentioned these only affected to one's parents, only a few mentioned that this taboo affected to grandparents as well.
I would like to seek your professional advice.
Thanks

Yes, this is by-right (or considered "politically correct" statement). Or "should be the case".

Again, there is no hard or fast rule. Nowadays; some are quite lax with the interpretation; especially in the context thatthat specific grandmother(was) not staying with them. Thus take it as more "distant".
But traditionally; yourfirst statement shouldbe the correct "interpretation" and includes the grand-parent.
