a chinese wedding dinner is supposedly a ceremony to show to ur frens and relative that u are married, who is ur wife. It's just like a stage for u to tell ur frens and family, hey guys, she is my wife, we baru marry.

So in return, those that attend usually help back the bride la, financially. U think cheap kah mau do wedding dinner. Those that attend is the bride's fren and family ma. So u help me, I help u la.

Bride treat u as his relative or fren, baru invite u go. So u help him back and repay little for the dinner lo. it's common courtesy for a chinese wedding dinner. Up to u how much u wanna pay.

just from the bride's pov, this dinner is to let my frens and relative noe that I have married this gal.

from the guest's pov, ok la, the bride respect me as his frens/family, appreciate his effort to invite me, hence help with the dinner bill lo.

it's actually up to u, the guest, how much they wanna pay. But then usually they follow current rate la. Like in KL, 1 head count is RMxxx.

that's why a lot of young adults nowadays feel burden for wedding. Coz a lot of money nid to spend. Nowadays a lot of them juz ajak close relative je for wedding dinner. Then for frens, they invite them over to open house buffet.

a good time to use the phrase, 'it's the heart that matters.'

during the dinner itself, the news spread via whatsapp group of Lee Family. Every relative c phone, straight noe siapa is the 1 dat gib only rm50. hahahha
