Wedding Funnies

I have one question:

What's the deal with balloons and wedding photoshoot?

How is spending a few thousand dollars posing right outside tacky places like the subordinate court holding balloons any attractive? It's so cliche. Unless you are talking about doing overseas photoshoot in countries like Bali, France, Australia where the scenery is breathtaking. Then, it might be worth splurging on. One might argue that it's expensive, and doing it locally is a feasible alternative. Then again, why settle for second best?

Another thing that baffles me is the topic of red packets and wedding banquet. Chinese can be really funny people sometimes. They splurge on a grand cookie-cutter wedding banquet, then expect the guests to pay for their own share. And start to justify themselves by saying stuffs like "oh, do you think you are coming here for a free lunch?".

What the? It doesn't make sense. I agree red packets are a practical gift but doesn't it should come from the heart and not trying to match cent-for-cent on how much the banquet costs? It's a simple theory. If you can't afford to held your wedding at a 5-star hotel, then don't! Hold it in a restaurant instead. Sorry to inform you, sweetheart, but if you want "face", you have got to pay it yourself. To throw back at your own words; remember what you always pride on, there's no free lunch!

I'm planning to hold my solemnization(no, I refuse to say ROM. It's grammatically wrong. Don't even get me started on that) at Four Seasons hotel which is expensive. Yes, I prefer red packets as gifts but I don't expect people to pay me cent for cent. Four Seasons is not cheap, but I am prepared to fork out so much money to live the gossip girl dream.

One thing that have been debating in my mind for a very long time: Should I stick to my own principles or conform to social norms?

But no matter where you held it at, please do not do it at a chalet. It's cannot, I stress, cannot be any tackier. It's plain cheap. One of my cousins, the one I dislike, hold hers at a chalet. But it's a different case for her since she's a cheap whore anyway so it's befitting. Okay, now I'm being mean. A great alternative is to held it at your own home. It's warm, it's cozy, and it takes away the tackiness.

Seriously again, what's the deal with balloons and wedding photoshoot? And the fake wedding cake?

Oh god, never fail to amuse me.

P.S. The very bored author is at the midst of researching on her own wedding and might come back with more wedding funnies, if there's any.
