Wah... I only get to read the forum when I get home from work. Stupid office block this site. They don't block it when I am in office!
It's interesting to read all at one shot! But hard to digest who's saying what. Anyway, really interesting to see the thread moving so fast. Yea, guo da li, my major headache.
Like most of you here, PIL don't want to give this and that. I manage my bf. Although sometimes I know it's hard on him, I don't really have a choice. Cos' everything on the wedding paid by us, his parents fork out zero. According to my bf, MIL got the cheek to ask him to ask my mum how many tables she want. I ask my bf to ask her, how many tables she paying for? Zero right? Then ask my mum for wad?! I will manage my mum, tell her how many tables I m giving her! Ridiculous!
Next thing, I said I want Pin Jin. She ask how much my mum wants. My mum told me to tell her she's not selling her daughter. It's up to them to give. Again, I manage my bf. I say minimum $3888 but, I will only return $88. Let him know first. I told him not we greedy, but no tables given leh! Your parents lose out big time lo.
Next, I ask for the pair of bangles, cos' we're Hokkien. His mum say oh... buy one pair about $500+ can le. Don't have to spend so much. Again, I manage my bf, I say min. $1500. Else, during Ti Qing, you will see both families black face. You go manage your parents.
The thing why I always do this to him though he's stuck in between is because I dislike the way his parents do things. They told us to get married earlier. I am only 23 when they said that. Now I am 24, how much savings can I have since I only worked for 2 yrs? So they said, go ahead, we will help you all. First thing book banquet, need $5k deposit. We take from his dad first. His dad say Oh get from my parents! He said that right in front of me. From then on, I told my bf, are you marrying me? Or am I marrying you? From this moment, I know I don't depend on them. Luckily, I still have a substantial amount of money.
Take Pin Jin from them, you know what they say? They say you did not tell us you're getting married. Suddenly, out of the blue, tell me to fork out the money, I go where find. I was like WTF! They were the ones who ask us to get married. Now they talk this kind of cock, say they never ask us to get married.
Final straw: They go tell their guests who are coming for ROM, oh just come and see see and eat lo, no need give Ang Pow. Why must they say such things? Our money not money ah? We need some Ang Pow money to cover lo. Else, we would hold it at ROM instead man! Kaoz...
But till now, I still very nice to them. I only show colours to my hubby and manage him. Cos' i need to live with them till we find a flat. Must act guai and nice to bully first. Next time, they will know what they get back from me! Hahhaa... I sound like I am taking revenge. Not so bad la, but don't expect me to be super filial or what la.
Enough ranting... hee... feels good to say all these out!
