summon for PAN PACIFIC HOTELwedding dinner

[leetahbar]

it's not a DON'T GO, no show issue here.

it's more about exploiting others to bear for one's vanity and pride. it's like pap paying exhorbitantly for PRC players and branding them "singaporeans" to win a piece of metal and con the whole world to think it's won by singaporeans.

cousin is trying to show off how well-off he is at the expense of other less well-to-do relatives and friends. wedding is suppose to be a happy occasion both to the guests and to the hosts and not just only to the host at the plight of the guests.

so next time any of u jokers get married, spare a little thought for the less well-off. try holding the event in a more down-to-earth economically prized restaurant which provide good value-for-money food at the same. at least when come footing the bills, the hosts wouldn't be that stressed and so would the guests about how obscene amount to pack into their angpows.

Then again, there is this mentality to justify splurging: it's a once in a lifetime thing, so make it grand and memorable.

Besides, at top restaurants you can expect better food and better service.

Anyway, to me, marriage and the wedding-related rituals are already a big rip-off (to the man). The choice of where to hold the wedding dinner should be the least of his worries.

My sentiments exactly.

And as for the lack of cakes thing, people nowadays usually buy cake gift cards (e.g., Bengawan Solo) that will let you go trade for the cake yourself (or top up some money for some other cake/pastry) from the cake shop.

Gone are the days of bringing cakes, yes. But it is a new form of convenience to pass gift cards instead to go get the cake yourself.

If your relative didn't even give a cake card, I have nothing to say to that. Some of the younger couples nowadays just don't follow tradition already.

Attended a close pal's wedding last year. The food was great, simple and tasteful - service by the auntie waitresses were efficient with none of the young partimers in vests and bow-ties who don't know when/how to change plates, serve soup without spilling, disect the fish etc. Some foreigners came with ties and long sleeves, enjoyed the booze and food with none of the BS that you find at cocktail parties --What's the prime rate, what's your handicap, blowing air kisses and all that crap.

Everyone had a great time with the sort of friendly, laid-back atmosphere and smokers congregated at the carpark smoking area plus cheap valet-less MSCP parking. Where, you may ask.

Red Star at Chin Swee Rd!

A lesser mortal like you would not be missed at the dinner. Your cousin booked a whole table so that you won't turn up, loser.

Don't expect him to hold his dinner in Newton circus just because he has a louse of a cousin like you. Pan Pac already low class enough. I wonder why forumers here say you beat your father for money and abuse your mother when she doesn't give you money.

Cakes / cake cards are only given by the family of the bride. Only this lousy Bob Sim Kheng Hwee will demand a cake from the groom.

in exquisite hotel where exaggerated wedding is held, alot of emphasis goes to gimmicks at the expense of the food. honestly, after u attended such function, u don't feel the fullness and maybe have to go for some more fulfiling makan.

when wedding couple who are gullible to allow themselves to be ripped, the guests are also being unwittingly dragged into this having to cough out substantial amount as angpows.

the cake card comes later when the newborn arrives and reaches 1 mth old. this time round the angpows would truly be well-wishing and congratulatory for the baby. usually, i would put more into the angpow as i would be mindful about how expensive pampers, milk powder and etc going to cost to have a baby.

one of my super-rich aunties used to held all her children's wedding in her big massive home premises. she stressed ANG POWS IS OPTIONAL, just come and enjoy a super feast. that was the best food i ever had. there was a roasted succulent suckling piglet for every table. she was such a thoughtful soul. she even prepared take-away containers for the guests to help themselves with leftovers as the servings were really generous. just the sharksfin soup alone, each guests could have about 2 to 3 servings!
