Depends on family & upbringing also. Personally me and my gf (who i'm planning to propose to but haven't gotten round to), we're lucky cos both sides parents are happy-go-lucky and not the meddling type, so I foresee we'll have a lot of say in what we want to do.

But I have friends, particularly those whose parents are big businesspeople - these, I kind of pity cos literally speaking the wedding dinner isn't a wedding dinner anymore. It's literally a "Business Dinner hosted by the parents for their friends to celebrate their son/daughter marriage."

Haha this one quite fun mah no meh? get to see your groom's hing dai do all sorts of stupid things. it's the only time in your life that you say what they do what without question lol

(ok well strictly speaking the bride doesn't actually get to see anything cos she's hidden away. but got photographer and videographer later on!)

Haha status update in FB enough already. Then anyone who needs to know you're married will know ...
