Elsie,
Oicoic.. But sometimes must b straightforward. I really not as paitence as u all.. Slowly paitencely hint here hint there. I jus tell my mom this is it. This is this, that is that. Den my mom also v understanding lo. She say she wont b bringing any friends. But i want her to bring her best friend, one of the aunties who dote me alot when I was young. My dad is e person makin more noise den my mom. When I said I gif him 1 table for frens, he said he need 3 tables, one of colleage, one for fren, one more for dono what la.. Den I tell him, what for u invite ur colleage etc which I don even know. Jus invite those I know. My dad has a group of fren whom we meet every yr for Cny de. This particular group can bring, I want them to be there as they witness me growing up every yr.
My htb and me set a deal. On our wedding banquet day, all those that enter our banquet venue must b familar to us. They must know us, we must know them.. We can acknowledge them 'Uncle XXX, Auntie YYY, welcome.. Hope u enjoy the dinner blah blah blah'.. I have been to far too many banquet which the groom and bride dono me, i dono them...
Another problem is my htb side gt many many kids.. I ask can don bring cos also nt v v close and direct family de kids why bring? I mean for my side v zhidong de, don bring kids de lo.. But we quarrel (this issue happened like few mths ago) cos he said we cant control.. I mean ya we cant control but I was saying we can write in the invitation card that 'Mr and Mrs Lim/Chen/Tay/etc' ma.. But he said normally ppl is put 'Mr & Mrs Chen AND FAMILY'... GOSH! Must we put the family? Normally don have de rite?
Anyway I saw his elder sis wedding jus last mth, so many kids.. I am like GOD.. My venue has no place for them lo..
He said my side not wrong to be zhidong, his side also not wrong to wanna bring their children along since they cant put them alone at home.
Anyway, ya this is it lo.. I jus wana minimise to 15 tables.. Tt's all...
But nw I don even wanna have a nice wedding since the start (proposal) is ardy so f*ck up..
