Where Are You Now?

[dreamur]

That was my principle at first, but I realized that for girls, weddings are a very special, once-in-a-lifetime event. So I try to balance practicality and going the extra mile

Right, you need to balance. Remember you have the condo to pay off and it would be tough to start the married life with with eating the same stuff everyday because you cannot afford to eat outside. On the other hand, the wedding has to be memorable enough that you can still feel pride when you look at your wedding pictures or watch the video10 years or 20 years after. For practicality, try renting the gown. You wont need after the wedding unless you feel kinky and have her put it on during honeymoon night. For the ring, make sure it is quality as it is a daily wear and most of the time get wet when you wash your hands. If you plan to put on a stone, make sure it is set well. You dont want to lose a stone and sulk over it everyday when you happen to glance at it. Get at least the 18K gold. The 14K tends to become dull over the years. No need to get a very expensive one as you do not intend to sell it in the future. Carved both your name on it - easier to remember who your partner is after 50 years (assuming you still have good eyesight).

The next challenge is the wedding reception. Get a buffet menu from a respectable caterer. Food would be embarassing if it runs out or tastes bad. Require an RSVP on the invitation - no partner for singles and mr and mrs for the couple. Only invite the necessary - immediate relatives, closest friends and tsikot members! Have a separate feast at your or your bride's house for the neighbors.

For the gifts, get a bridal registry service to plan your needs and wants to avoid duplicating the gifts. Plan on something useful for the condo. Cash would also be practical so you can put that on the weddin invitation if you dont find it awkward.

Finally, get a wedding planner to take care of the arrangements, programme, etc. You wouldnt have the time to think about the whole event once the wedding has started or risk collapsing during the ceremony or not eating anything on the reception because you are too worried the food will run out.

Congratulations my friend and welcome to the club where members want to get out! :D

A lot of couples have a hard time differentiating between wedding and marriage.

Wedding - 3x a day

Bro, yan ba ung sasayaw ang couple tapos tatalian ng pera ang gown? Nakita ko yan sa Batangas at palakihan talaga ng pera na itatali. Buti na lang walang nagtali ng credit card.

Di naman bro. They give the money discreetly, usually checks. Chinese guests usually give a lot more than the cost of their food. If the dinner costs say, 1k/head they'll give 1.5k and up/member of their family attending. That's partly why Fil-Chinese guest lists are so bloated hehe. Last one I heard about had 600 guests.

Wow! Dami sigurong take out bro. Seriously, I attended 1 wedding reception of a chinese couple at city of dreams. Bonga ung attire bro, black ties! About 300 guests siguro and i can see red envelopes given to the couple. Un na ba un or may under the table pa?
