QUOTE(NaiveLady @ Feb 18 2010, 08:20 PM) However, my future in-law said my parents request is too high and they prefer to pay RM888/RM1888/RM2888 (Just a sign of good luck (hou yi tou). Reasons given is they are not buying a daughter-in-law & they want everything to be simple. LOL. They just want to save $$$. They want to "buy" yet stingy, but to save face, your in laws of coz won't explicitly say and admit so. if you requested 6k, which is an entry level sum for KL, they can at least offered $5888 rather than "slashing" the value to less than half of that. 8 years is pretty long time for dating. As how others have said... your bf have a long time to save $$ for wedding. Please be insistence on your stand coz " buy or not", eventually you'll be leaving your cozy family house, and your future offspring will take his surname. 6k is a small price to pay. |

QUOTE(pillage2001 @ Feb 23 2010, 02:43 PM) Being together as one is more than just about how much money he's willing to spend. From this logic, no need "gets" married and organise wedding. Simply stay together, inform both side of family of this intention and thats it. No need register too. After all.... love is in the heart, not dictated by custom nor laws. |
