This is certainly a year for WEDDINGS. When i was younger, i used to love attending weddings...because of the fairytale-like of it all, the food, etc. Now as i get older, i began to question the meaning of it all.
1) Sure wedding ceremonies is to celebrate the union of two people. If that's the case, is it not sufficient to invite close friends and most importantly the family? nowadays, many cannot avoid inviting business-related attendees...for?
2) Brides are made to be queen-like on that day. They dress up and redress and dress up again. They hardly eat because of all the changing of attire sessions. It somehow feels like a fashion parade in some. Ever seen a bride trying to fit in the dress with lotsa 'tools'? Pure torture.
3) Angpows. Beginning to find it a real burden. Especially when you don't really know that person that well, but it has somewhat become an obligation to give angpow anyways. And even if that person is close, there's a minimum of RM100. Some actually make money out of it. Justified, u think?
4) Liquor- booze for all. Mostly sapu-ed by the drunkies. Purely unjustied when they are having more fun than the bride and groom.
5) Really, do the bride and groom actually have fun on that day? perhaps maybe at the end of the day. Pouring out the money plus lotsa obligatory smiling and layan-ing, i really doubt it.
6) Some people actually compare how luxurious the wedding is compared to this other fella's wedding. meticulous planning and fighting (no doubt) and preparation for just one day. Justified, you think?
Most of my friends do without the whole dinner thing nowadays. Mostly because of monetary constriction. WHAT SAY YOU?

It does no matter whether one did the dinner or not because the whole marriage thing is about trust, respect, etc between two entities.
Hey, wedding dinners are about getting together and having a good time to celebrate the getting together of the husband and wife... so chill out!
cash, true...just a different perspective on wedding dinners ...food for thought
I think most of the times, its usually a case of trying to outdo other weddings. More dresses, more drinks etc. But I think its actually up to the couple, there isnt a must do list. For my wedding, I forgo all the dress change and kept on my white dress and had a lot of fun mingling and dancing.
