    都係typical婚禮啦。如果靜係兩家人食餐飯我又覺得簡單咗啲。其實都係睇budget啦，睇吓拎得起幾多＄，咪睇吓有咩可以做到囉。

    really?? bridesmaid paid for their own dress??
Hm...I paid for the dress...since I only have one so it's ok...

Yeah...I wasn't into destination wedding actually...I would prefer more friends able to celebrate with me but people may not be able to do that because of the cost involved.

    but as the daughter/sons are involved in dealing with the issues, they won't be completely ignorant about the process...or what to do...I guess.

   Maybe just me...I will actually feel bad if I have destination wedding and need to ask my friend to pay for the cost of flight+hotel and also people need to use up their vacation on top of that.
If I have destination wedding I will make sure I cover the cost of flight+hotel for my guest so only minimal "spending" is needed (vacation days).

But of course...I can't afford those so never come to my mind to have destination wedding for myself.

    Yes man has needs...and the wife from the previous post actually did have sex w/ the man...just maybe she's not as "active" as before so the man made this comment.
I found this is very inconsiderate. It's like if the wife is sick and be less active, the husband should "complain"?

Anyway, during the whole pregnancy, as I read from weddingbell forum, some woman actually has more sexual desire than before...I guess everybody is different.

    乜maid of honour好多嘢做？
我都係distribute work俾幾個兄弟姊妹，唔係一個做哂。反而maid of honour因為要跟身，所以其實無咁多task。其他可能會幫手set up。

    如果真係大攪就搵wedding planner啦。
咁我都唔係咁西化。都無攪到你講嗰啲reheral dinner/engagement dinner etc..
But even that...that's the job of MOH? I'd rather be the organizer myself...

    你講嗰啲格價跑腿工作，我真係無諗過俾另外一個人去做，因為始終決定（用邊間vender）嗰個都係我，如果我唔想做就會俾planner去做。不過可能香港啲情況唔同啦。

MOH/bridesmaid will probably go wedding gown hunting with me...but that's all in terms of the preparation work...

就算婚禮嗰日，因為個MOH要跟身去影相，都唔可以做聯絡different vendor，要交落俾另外一個朋友去handle。(e.g. I'll ask one of my friends to be responsible for the wedding cake, if the cake hasn't arrived in the restaurant by THIS time, he/she should give the bakery a call).

    咁我都係揀定咗兩件先會問second opinion. 都費事要朋友陪我行哂溫哥華咁多鋪頭啦。

都幾難break even喎，就算酒席break even到，酒水呢？回禮小禮物呢？都唔好講場地佈置（中式嘅話）。
結婚其他洗費包括：photography (pre wedding/engagement + actual day photography), video, wedding gown/tuxdeo, makeup, 過大禮 stuff, honeymoon(?), wedding ceremony venue + commissioner, invitation
Of course, you can save a lot by having friends doing the photography + video, get 2nd hand or discounted wedding gown, or rental, DIY invitation (or get from HK)
