      wonder if they borrow from their parents or the parents 'willingly' sponsor

      so I better start saving for my DS? he is P2 now. :siam: 😉

        A few days ago our local papers also reported on how our men pay wedding planners for ideas on how to propose to their gals


        i read about it too. this is a worrying trend. Singaporean guys so hopeless or lack creativity that need to pay others to plan for them? :?

        maybe it's the GF's demand to have a romantic and one of a kind proposal before she say yes :roll: :stompfeet: :slapshead:

            If I were the girlfriend, I’d rather the $15k went into getting me a big big diamond ring, and not the silly proposal!

                Some of the Chinese struck so rich that $15k maybe $15 to them. In any case, this is frivolous for normal people to consume.


                Just a real story to share…once a wealthy friend courted a girl with alot of these frills almost daily but with no success. In the end, the one with less wealth but more chemistry won the girl over. So the success of a proposal contingents on the amount of chemistry between 2 persons and not the frills. But some people may disagree if they feel that materialism is pervasive amongst Singapore girls.

                    I may be a little mobit here.


                    To me, the wedding is the beginning. Its not like we will live happily ever after.

                    The real challenge starts after marriage. Maintaining a marriage takes loads of effort. A $15k proposal doesn’t guarantee a smooth marriage. Remember, its the beginning, not the end. Don’t be too caught up by a moment of "star shinning" act…

                      Show me you can grow that $15k 10x within a year and I know our future will be free of financial worries.


                      Save up for 1 whole year and spend $15k on a proposal like this… think I need to take on a 2nd job to make sure we can survive.

                        somehow all these massive wedding proposal resemble those push-sell tactics by some time-share companies.


                        wonder whether there is any cooling off period that the girl can return the ring?
