wedding dinner - a waste of time, money and energy

woah.. after so many months of hiatus, things have changed big time for blogger. I've been up to my neck in work and i was soooo soooo close to getting our flat at cck but a pity the seller decided not to sell the flat after all. sighh.. anyway, im so excited and all. im still in the midst of discussion with him about whether we should even hold a wedding dinner cos the idea sounds pretty dumb since not everyone's gonna know one another and that the last thing i want is my colleagues to treat our dinner as a place of gossip. worse, im not gonna be dumb to splurge on these undeserving ppl as they are just my colleagues, acquaintances, not close friends. this sure sounds like some mega star who said that she is just a colleague of so and so hehe. My sis told me it makes more sense to hold some kinda garden afternoon party and invite only those i wanna invite which means that i can save more money for a better honeymoon and a flat (wherever it is gonna be). This idea sounds good esp if i can have a party at sentosa :D if anyone has a great idea on where else i can have a nice garden party for a wedding, pls drop me a note! im definitely not gonna do that pretentious wedding dinner that so many ppl go for coz its really silly and i wont even get to interact with my frens plus i gotta wear that fake smile for many hours blah blah. take my colleague for eg, she stupidly spent more than $30k on her wedding dinner and ironically, she cant even afford a frigging flat and many ppl played her out last min so fewer ang baos for her! how stupid can one be? worse, she prides herself to be really intelligent. Crap. So, I shall take the smarter route by throwing a cheaper but good treat for ppl who're close to me and thus, will give me bigger ang baos. Or perhaps, i will treat my relatives and frens separately so that i can spend more time with them instead of the ten seconds handshake and words of congratulations during a typical wedding dinner. Plus, i dont have to go for many gown changes so i may have a chance to get my local fashion designer to design just one nice gown :) yay! Life's gonna be sooo soooo blissful :)))
