Story time…
I just attended an ex classmate’s wedding dinner few months back. Before attending the dinner, her good friend told us the groom mentioned that each table was more than $1K. So no choice, we the ex class mates gave $100 each… also, this couple is the flashy type (overseas wedding photo shoot, huge wedding ceremony at church, branded gowns, antique wedding car…)
The dinner was lousy… nothing spectacular, no exotic food, no shark’s fin, nothing… someone at our table commented that the dinner cannot be more than $500… so later one of our girls called up the hotel to ask how much each table cost, it was $628… we bitched about it over and over again during our last gathering (of course the bride was not there la…)…
Perhaps the $1K was inclusive of their overseas photo shoot, gowns, and wedding car loan ya…@#^&
Felt taken advantage off…
