Ender Hypersonic January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 How many hold their wedding in high end hotel? Mine is just a catering at the Church, after wedding mass. http://www.tnp.sg/content/till-debt-do-us-part They spent $110,000 on their wedding but had to deal with debt collectors after. Glitzy weddings are lusted after and glossy magazines seem to always have the scoop on who has had the fanciest wedding this month. But not everyone has pockets deep enough to afford a glamorous Big Day. And not every couple realises how expensive getting one can be. Mr and Mrs Cayden Lee had a lavish do. The breakdown: A bridal arch made of 999 fresh tulips from Holland and a tulip-shaped balloon ($12,000), 45 tables at a six-star Marina Bay area hotel. Most of the money was borrowed and they were confident they would take up to two years to repay the money. Mr Lee admits they have fought over the debts. Today, they have made lifestyle changes to ease the strain on their finances, including only allowing themselves one treat a month - either a movie or going for a spa retreat. Social psychologist Richard Lim says sometimes, parents put pressure on their child so they can impress relatives and friends. Wedding planners The New Paper on Sunday spoke to say couples have champagne tastes on beer budgets. Ms Pink Cheong, who has been in the business for a decade, shares that she has had clients who want to top the last best ceremony. Madam Fatimah Mohsin, owner of The Wedding Gallery, says: "You just need to manage your expectations." Cope the chinese version (more details) from Hawrdwarezone. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 (edited) discussed to death liao. Many still like to use the usual excuse "once in your lifetime only.......". The irony is this guy is an insurance agent/financial planner..... IMO, if you want to save and both sides are happy, even a $10 surgical grade stainless steel wedding ring is still acceptable. The question is how to find such char bor nowadays? Edited January 6, 2014 by Kangadrool 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 This young couple is clearly slapping their own faces swollen just to look fat.... The mentality of "spend first worry later" will kill a lot of young Singaporeans. Riddle with huge debt before they even have any savings. Working to repay instead of accumulating? * clap clap* 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is how to find such char bor nowadays? Simi once in a life-time??? It's just a ceremony that is quite insignificant compared to the challenges a couple will have to overcome together...
