QUOTE(zorbyss. @ Feb 6 2018, 11:10 AM) i've been to a few cainis wedding that don't take angpau. i actually gained from my wedding dinner ( not that i berkira).still wedding cost are expected to be spent. only old uncles like my dad generation take wedding dinner as a profit. i told my friend i dont wanna check angpau when i'm getting married. well, some said, they keep a list of names and their angpaus. how much they gib then when it's their wedding you gib back how much. cainis. manyak kira la. before you trigger. ayam cainis. hainanese x teochew if you're curious. cos, the place was decently nice, invited close friends and family, all happy happy. so all give minimum rm50 to rm100. bonus that it covered but was also blessed to have all the wonderful ppl around. if really wanna berkira haiyo, i think also go crazy look back all the names/angpow many many years later haha |

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Feb 6 2018, 11:35 AM) if you get married and need people to pay for something, theres something wrong there. put it this way. if groom say ' eh come my wedding dinner, no need angpow' .its like i say, EH BRO I BELANJA U MAKAN, BUT U PAYME RM50 upfront ya! and when u arrive serve u nasi lemak and mee rebus only, will u complain cheapskate groom? or will you happily go also and share happiness since the makan is secondary? |

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Feb 6 2018, 11:44 AM) go and be happy, he is a friend, im happy for him you do this before the wedding anyway, the pre wedding celebration, go get some booze, everyone pays their share and makan mamak QUOTE(empire23 @ Feb 6 2018, 11:43 AM) Nah, I'd eat that stuff happily and be even happier as there's no expectation for me to "donate" any money. good. if all have this mindset things are so much easier.unfortunately.. chinese rarely have this mindset. make small the old uncle/aunties will say ' wah.. so small wedding nia' make simple ' wah .. so simple nia' most time the wedding dinner is done just to satisfy these kepo relatives |

QUOTE(empire23 @ Feb 6 2018, 11:53 AM) But but I AM cheapstake....... ah this is ok. u edi paid back by the assistance and help which is worth its weight in gold.I'm happy for my friends getting hitched. I don't believe in giving cash out. I'll help you with wedding chores, carry things and all that other stuff but if people expect cash from me they're dead wrong. I've been to weddings where all the food was home cooked with 12 people in a house just enjoying a meal the bride cooked. Those are the most memorable. |

QUOTE(esdome @ Feb 6 2018, 11:57 AM) Don't generalize all Chinese. 1. i didn't say all chinese.I would say it is rare for Chinese to have the mindset of expecting an angpao from guests. 2. chinese are the ones known to expect angpow... as it is their custom. unless the chinese you mean is a different chinese from my understanding |
