All this talk about wedding and food...I really wish someone would invite me to a wedding. I've never been to a wedding before.
Marriage...expensive or just the wedding?

To be fair, the way that people treat marriage now it can definitely be focused on the wedding and not the actual marriage. I know of many people who “love marriage” to the point they have it done constantly and then divorce the second things go south. It becomes a kind of pageantry.
RIGHT?! Even if you knew the wedding was gonna take longer to plan than the relationship was gonna last, I’d be tempted to go if they had a good spread.
lol
well chinese weddings they traditonally have a huge banquet, all my aunties and uncles had them. for those its usually at least Twelve course meal! But when one of my friends sons married a chinese daughter in laws, they did not have a chinese banquet, they had a western style buffet dinner instead. I guess same amount of food, but you cant eat all,that at once.
witth virus going round, its best not to have a wedding reception as one notorous wedding party everyone got sick, and even the bride and groom, and the father of the groom died...so I think its best to be safe and alive then spreading virus around at present.
most parents have spent what would have been set aside for a wedding or trousseau on their daughters or sons college education unless they are the very few who are obscenely wealthy.

some parents think an education is a worthier investment than a wedding.
But i wonder how much of it is either or, because to spend on both would break most families budgets.
I am not assuming that people here are all trust fund kids that have their inheritance on tap.

My wedding cost me Ringgit Malaysia Thirty Thousand 18 years ago. This included church admin fee, flowers, wedding gown, buffet luncheon at church terrace, and chinese menu dinner for 6 tables of 10 each.
wow sounds like a lot.
did your family pay, or both?
I was thinking for those that cant afford much that it would be good to do mass weddings i.e people all get married at once. If you were friends with another couple who wanted to marry the same day you could combine the wedding...?
For Chinese we seldom do it because normally, the relatives and friends will give money as a gift at reception. So confuse might arisen and no face for the bridegroom and family as well. Chinese regards their face as the mos valuable sometimes even more valuable than their own life)
Well in that moment.. money is on your mind but.. you will do anything to be with the other. For us.. my wife is Chinese.. 1st gen (she was born here). She does not think of her self as Chinese lol. Anyway.. her parents gave her $1000 to get married. Her brother? $10,000. Yeah.. as some know BOYS are more important.
A piece of paper is what man want so see. So we do it. What ever you want .. do that. Some like it extravagant
(You were a lover before time's beginning, You gave Your love freely withholding nothing, Jesus, my Jesus )
Some like it simple.. its for me.. all about what she wanted

Certainly you will get your wife love, later you will gt your children and even your emotional health to name a few.
What you will be getting is your partner love, later you will get your children and even your emotional health to name a few.
you said wife
now you changing it to partner, but what are you talking about Im not getting married or paying anyone to marry me. I dont think my parents would pay me to get married is what I meant as they already paid for four childrens tertiary education which is enough to break anyones bank.
