Question: You mentioned that the people who attend must not let the couple make a loss.Originally posted by edLow:if tat the case why do u wan to hold one either in a normal resturant all the way to the hotel ball room.
if tat the case......
THEN WHY invite us when you know we're poor sods? Just for the customary? Expecting us to give some lame excuses? Or wanna make our lives more difficult? -

But if really cannot then bo bian la.
If the couple's gonna take offense that I pay below cost, I think seriously the friendship needs some looking into

did u even read one of my post tat i dont even intend to hav one.. i just wan a small gathering and fly off for a holiday.Originally posted by shinta:read from page 1... most of us are against havin one.
if u didnt... or if all of u didnt.. maybe u should read back and find tat post of mine.
yes i might be out of pt saying the guest part for attending the dinner.. but if u really are force to have one.. at least there such things as market rate where ur frds can help in reducing ur debts for the dinner.
and if u are holding one at a posh place becos of ur own face or parent face prob... u onli hav urself to blame. -
AND SO? $60 might meant a lot to others...Originally posted by edLow:not every frds or ours are holding their dinner in some expensive hotel ballroom... where each table cost a min of 888.
majority are still holding their dinner at chinese resturant (within my circle of frds) which might cost ard 600 to 800 per table.
What's the point of having an event where some of the poorer sods will not turn up due to financial problems and then saying things to those poor guys "you must attend my wedding hor!"
What's the point when you can't have friends to celebrate, start throwing them out of the line in favour of richer ones? -

it's just a simple dinner of joy and why do u ppls wan to make it sound like a money event thing? every thing in a dinner cost money too.
yes my previous post might be quite money orientated.. but wat in short.. since u are invited for the joy occasion.. enjoy within ur own limit.. -

That's why THE RED PACKET was rubbish and here you're saying that we should at least pay enough to foot the bill.Originally posted by edLow:becos they wan u to join in the celebration.

WHAT kind of rubbish is that? PAY enough to foot the bill? Why don't the couple put the price tag on the wedding invitation card?
edlow, you kept on blabbering that 'YOU should not attend if you cannot afford the bill'.
It makes me wonder if you might say that to your friends if you're forced to have a wedding dinner. -
if u really noe they hav such finical prob and excuss themselves.. it would be best to let it be.. and instead of insisting them to attend. perhaps u be the one whom will do tat. if my guests cant attend the dinner becos of his/her finical prob. i just let it be. and perhaps invite them out another day for a small lunch or so..Originally posted by Nelstar:AND SO? $60 might meant a lot to others...

if u noe ur frds n relative arent tat damn rich. dont hold it at some posh place lah. it still the couple / their parents decision to hold the place... -
I think the one who really made it sound like a money-orientated thing by talking about paying 'market rate', is none other than... *gasp... you!!Originally posted by edLow:becos they wan u to join in the celebration.

here i'm trying to break down the sit of having a dinner at a normal place.. where u need not worry of suffering a hugh lose.. and there u ppls saying i'm trying to make some cash out of a dinner. -

edlow, you're the one THAT KEPT harping on HOW MUCH YOU PAY FOR THE DINNER'S WORTH. -
you do realise that those married among us are not saying anything?

*snorts
I have no idea and I don't really care who gave how muchOriginally posted by Deportivo:you do realise that those married among us are not saying anything? -
We're against having the dinner and here we have you..., yes Mr Edlow, implying that the RED packet should be equivalent or higher value.Originally posted by edLow:den tell me which wedding doesnt spend a single cent.
here i'm trying to break down the sit of having a dinner at a normal place.. where u need not worry of suffering a hugh lose.. and there u ppls saying i'm trying to make some cash out of a dinner.
And our mr edlow had failed to understand our meaning FROM a very early stage. Yes, you, don't shirk responsibilities now, jumped to conclusions on that. -
