Singapore Wedding

"Unfortunately, many couples spare no thoughts on how their guests are experiencing the wedding celebration. It's mostly all about them them them.

Can couples please aim to provide their guests a good experience instead of focusing on the "me-me-me" mentality and "how to make a profit" mentality ? Sure, it's the couple's wedding but all your guests are making sacrifices of both monetary as well as non-monetary value to attend your celebration in many ways. The least you can do is to have the decency to ensure they have a good time instead of thinking how to profit from them.

1) Guests have to make time out of their precious weekend to spend several hours on a mostly boring run-of-the-mill type of celebration instead of tending to their important family matters like visiting their sick parents or bonding with their kids instead.

2) Most guests will have to fork out cab fare to get to a boring run-of-the-mill type of location. It can get very expensive if it's in town and during peak hours. Or if your guests live in the more ulu parts of Singapore.

3) Many female(and also male) guests will have to spend extra money on dry cleaning their outfit after attending your wedding. And don't forget the time it takes to style and groom their appearances too.

4) If seated with strangers, they have to pretend to enjoy making small talks with people whom they do not know and have no interest in knowing and will likely never meet again in a thousand year.

5) They will have to go through cringing "entertainments" such as watching your how-you-met-each-other powerpoint slides smiling and laughing pretending that it's the most moving and touching love story they have ever heard in their entire life.

5) Last but not least, after sacrificing and doing all of the above they are still obligated to give you the most bo liao gift of all - an angbao that in no way justifies any of the food that they had eaten.

Going to a wedding banquet is one of the most non-productive activity anyone can do. If anything, it is counter productive for most people but many will still do it because they regard the couple as good friends, good relatives and family members."
