Hi hi jelly..
Sigh..i also duno loh..quite a lot..i guess bcoz some of hubby¡¯s friends aren¡¯t working (like pri sch close friends) then my MIL¡¯s side got some friends & relatives that¡¯s didn¡¯t really give..the reason why we served a total of 50 liter of beer & 60 bottles of red wine is bcoz FIL said it¡¯s ¡°very ugly¡± if we control the wine & beer & tell pple no more wine/beer by the 5th dish so we no choice to open one barrel of 20 litre & also get another 2 cartons of red wine..we only got 41 tables in total leh, so can u imagine how much we can loss..i also duno what to say, like got one couple is my FIl¡¯s friend & gave only $50 for 2 pax..we both very blur..all we pay ourselves (including FIL & MIL¡¯s table), FIl got 11 tables, Mil got 9 tables including friends & relatives..but I guess $ can be earned, at most, I dun go for HM & save to earn back, coz it¡¯s quite hard for us to say anything also..
Hi hi mehmeh..
Thks for the encouragement..i guess since a wedding is once in a lifetime..i already told hubby that surely we cant expect to break even, we are thankful that we are able to have such a beautiful wedding in a ¡°sponsored¡± manner of close to 60%-70%..hahaha..at least can feel better lor¡my mum¡¯s side only got back $5k (hubby gave her 10 tables), she¡¯s aware of our losses, my mum also said she will give us back $1k despite her collection..i m very touched lor, it¡¯s like my dad is gg to lost his job soon & yet mum didn¡¯t gain any but she insisted to give us the $ as a token for the wedding..i told her tat I dun want to keep the $ & they shd keep it..but mum said it¡¯s ok¡I m currently being ¡°barred¡± from gg back home till 12 days later..that¡¯s what my granny said, so I hvnt seen my mum & dad since sun..somemore when mum aid wanna give us $1k, I really feel like giving her a hug..soo touched..
Hi hi Janice..
Indeed a very big sum..but since it¡¯s also pointless crying over it now since the wedding¡¯s over..so I guess it¡¯s better to look forward & try to save as much as I can..maybe somewhere somehow, we will be able to get it back.but 1 thing that we are touched also is that our jie-meis & xiong-dis also tried to help as much & everyone enjoyed the fun despite the mess..haha¡also they gave us enough to cover their share so I guess it¡¯s really very nice to feel it this way lor..
