it's a long road of infighting about table arrangements before the "ENJOY" bit
Originally posted by Fatum:that was a conservative estimate ....
my granny would like 6 tables, for her six siblings. plus assorted other relatives, 4 tables, my dad had 9 tables for his mates and old colleagues at my sister's wedding. fatumnette's dad would like 10 tables from me ......
plus one red table .... that makes 30 already ....
and that's before our friends, colleagues, associates etc etc.
very "simple" dinner, huh?
well, nowadays not much yam sengs liao I suppose ......
there's the one on the stage and that's it .....
what I cannot tahan is the now obligatory "from diapers to the aisle" slide show which no body really watches anyways .... and the bride and groom speech thanking everyone and the parents for bringing them up etc etc .....
thank god my sister didn't go through all that ... and she got a pretty painless video instead ....

Hehehhehe mine had the slide "The Obligatory Wedding Slideshow" at the start. :P so disclaimer done liao :P
but nowadays we getting more innovative.. hahah for my friend's wedding, we did a 'thumb-acting' video for them, complaining about the loss of enjoyable gossip now that they have finally gotten married. Cos previously keep GUESSING whether they are going together or not.. :P
my sister actually paid a professional video production house to shoot a video .... -_-"
luckily, fatumnette is a lot more sensible with money .....
that night was the very first time I've seen her wearing a dress and putting on bling bling ...... she's very much a t-shirt and jeans girl ... so she wants to keep ours "simple" and quirky too ....
tomyum ingested... both the clear and coconut versions
along with fried pomfret, braised pork trotters, omelette, pad thai, fried dong fen, kangkong and pineapple rice...
still toying with the idea of just eloping with zora.. ![]()

I suppose "simple" discounts the underwater wedding...
i still think my friend's brother had the simplest wedding of all...
it was hilarious.. when he was in an overseas posting for work, one day he called his dad and announced "dad.. i'm married"

was the next line "and you're going to be a grandfather" ?

actually no...
what the families didn't know was that he and his long-time girlfriend were both at the same place (albeit different jobs)
both didn't want the wedding circus they knew they'd face at home so the just went to a local JP and got married ![]()
both were only forgiven a few years down the line when the first granddaughter was born ![]()

They do realize that your bro might be firing blanks..... right?
Originally posted by av98m:my parents hate my sis in law because nothing has been produced despite 6 years of marriage
Hmmmm..... I have been married for 5 years and still have no kids too.... I am blessed that my in laws don't go and pressure us about it.
haha
This is interesting.
My bro got married about 9 years ago. Now labelled as DINKs, Dual income, no kids.
My sis got married 4 years ago, 2 kids now.
Mum is pointing the spear at me.... I need a baby boy to satisfy her grandmother ideals, though I prefer a girl and boy first.
Let's see how things get going.
=D

Seriously, at the end of the day it's between you and zora.... instead of having a wedding reception, you can just organise dinner with the immediate family of yours and zora's at a restaurant to celebrate. That was exactly what my sisters did.

so far, i think that's the plan...
we've not discussed this yet... the most important bit is to find a place of our own.. and with the housing market as it is, it's kinda hard...
we solve that part first
