claudia> I support wat u say to her, who is she to make decision. Gosh, lun also dun lun until her to make decision lor.
strawberries> I dun mind she dun give me or what but then if she tinks my hb shld pay then tell us in advance, then he can save for it. My parent's only requirement is must have sidianjin cos I am teochew, tables n pinjin still can negotiate cos can use angbaos collected to pay the costs. Then pinjin yi si yi si can ald. We nvr plan to use their $ to pay for anything at all, the least they can do is to help us save $ rite.... wait the guests turnout to be less than wat we booked or more than what we booked how? I went to 2 of his cousins' weddings and both were so screwed up cos they only did the seating arrangement like the nite itself. End up my hb's family n some close relatives gotta split n go fill up the empty seats on the tables to help the cousins save cost. Then the other one is nt enuff seats cos the aunty last min invite whoever that comes along like me who was my hb's then gf, mil kept insisting I go. Then end up gotta squeeze 12 in a table.....
My mil screwed up my rom lo. Ald told them no kids allowed, then one of the uncle say the son at hm alone with the sister he worry, wanna bring him along, then end up bring the other kid also. Then my mil see since he bring the kids, ask the other sister to bring her daugther along. Then ask the other sister's hb who happen to be off on that day, mil ask him to come also n their son working nearby the rom venue, so ask him to come also. End up there are extra 5 ppl who did not account for n an extra table have to be setup and ordered for them last min. N me n hb's frens had to wait 30 mins for the food to arrive cos those ppl jus plant their bums on the seats the moment they come to the plc n our frens were with us at the solemnisation venue, they din manage to chop seats n dont want to be seperated, we got no choice but to have another table setup whereby the tables can fit up to 12 person n we jus need to pay for additional headcount. Just cos of them we have tables of 8s n 9s.
For my side only my family, godpa n granny were invited aside from my 4 frens. Hb's side got like 30 ppl minus hb's fren lo!
Now its diff, the scale is 10 times bigger,n the cost of the meal is almost double . I dowan history to repeat itself, which is why I keep squeezing my mil to be organised.
