Yes, a wedding IS about the 2 people marrying each other. Why give a flying toss about what the yee ma ku chehs have to gossip behind your back? It's as big a problem as you allow it to be. As long as you know what you're doing, and you keep both sets of the parents informed, you can pretty much do what you want since you're bankrolling it. Okay, having understanding parents on both sides that don't interfere too much with the plans helps too.:grin: "After all, do you really need to be in a relationship for at least two years to decide whether the other person is ready for it?" >>> IMHO, it's pretty irrelevant how long the couple has been dating before marriage. Marriage is just a pitstop in the Your Whole Life GP race, you're not at the chequered flag yet.:razz: "The ultimate question remains this: at 25, am I really ready to be married and have a family of my own?" >>> The ultimate answer is (and I've used this on all my friends who asked that question), are you ready to give up your current lifestyle and mould it around your spouse, in-laws, future kids? You can't do what you want, when you want anymore, because you have other people to consider. You have a role to play as a spouse (note the gender-neutral term) horr... and just wait till kids arrive! Hehehe... if scary thoughts started running riot through your head, then no you are not ready yet. Oh and to that fellow who posted "Come give your opinions about marriage again after 7 fcking years and still feel like fcking each other passionately." Marriage is not only about sex. While I agree on some of your earlier points about how ridiculously exorbitant wedding expenses can get, I now see what are your priorities. Shows how credible you are to 'advise' the rest here about weddings and marriages.
