[auntieM]

pinky:

Won't Feel paiseh meh.. ...get parents to 'fulfill' such dreams..
Then don't let everyone know lor..
Hehee...juz me $0.02..

[phtthp]

scary … nowadays youngsters spend $ like water free flow.

they never think of rainy days or seasons of dry spell.

some people slog like a cow whole life, don’t even earn close to half a million.

[LOLMum]

there is this chinese thingy that goes like this


竹门对竹门，木门对木门。

most people would marry people in the same social circle, same kind of lifestyle. when you are used to spending a certain amount of $$$ on all things, a bit more of that $$$ on anything else is not going to be a problem. $$$ would never run out for most of them cos' they are indeed smart with $$$ management. unless one gambles, investments go bad or family fight over $$$ (actually this might not be a problem), then $$$ might :moneyflies: .

people can spend any $$$ on their wedding. however i find having to attend so many events just to celebrate the union is a bit too 超过，好长气,找苯(in cantonese) cos have to keep giving gifts and angpow。

Not only ang pow and gifts…most importantly time too!

They have rich parents, it says in the article that their parents paid part of the banquet. Anyway, no matter who paid for the lavish wedding banquet, spending $600K on a wedding is extravagance. After all, a wedding only lasts a day, but a marriage lasts a lifetime. The maintenance of a great marriage is more impt than a lavish weding.

Didn't know a General Manager and an Assistant GM in a hotel can earn so much :?

[LOLMum]

hahaha, both sets of parents paying $600K okay lah.


since own hotel, maybe got discount and free supply of food from suppliers and sponsorship etc.

:rotflmao:

couple happy, parents happy, that is all that matters..... :evil:

Sometimes parents in business have to invite their business associates. want face!

I know of guys who want a lavish wedding. So it doesn't mean that only the girls want such grand wedding. Some men can be super hao-lian.

:goodpost: WELL Said..! Not only Girls.... It might be the MEN...!

[jedamum]

a wedding at such a scale, when invited the 'correct' people, will generate more benefit (be it goodwill for future biz, more angpow, up social status etc) which may well be part of planning.

they happy and can afford can liao ah! blissful marriage to all newly and 'oldly' weds. :celebrate:

Ya, only if that’s the case. truth is the guy had to borrowed money to satisfy his woman’s desire. I don’t think the guy’s parents are rich, average, quite old already. He was just trying to satisfy the girl’s request. I pity him but then again, as long as he’s happy, no matter how sort lived, it may be worth it for him. Good luck to him!
