2. and i am actually skipping wedding favours. i have thrown away most of the wedding favours that i have been given at the weddings that i have gone to (including some chocolates because i do not eat them). i also do not like to sign wedding guestbooks. i think some attendees have the bad habit of just signing off their name (which are not legible) .
on last week tonight, john oliver slammed president trump for doing exactly that. by falsely suggesting that he had recorded comey, trump had likely committed

an act that oliver called not just
stupid ,
but extraordinarily stupid .
recently, i was asked which singapore film would i rank as the most significant, the kind of landmark movie that paved the way for change and helped create the semblance of an industry we have today. i did not hesitate in giving an answer. ‘i not stupid’. yes, it is, on so many levels and in so many ways. why would i say so? and in such a resounding manner. before ‘i not stupid’, a foreigner would not have a reference to a singapore film. after ‘i not stupid’, there was a brand of singapore film we could speak of, both to ourselves and to people beyond our shores. this was the movie that proved beyond any doubt jack neo was no flash in the pan. because he went on to be a prolific director, this ‘the jack neo comedy’ became an exceptionally viable genre, reflecting a maturing society laughing at singaporeans and with singaporeans. ‘i not stupid’ was also the singapore film that took political satire to a whole new level .
the follow - up to the popular singaporean film, i not stupid, deals with the struggles of children and teenagers growing up in a modern society that clashes with the ones of previous generations .
it is saying the guests will not care about those things, not that they don’t matter .

i disagree on points 1 - 10. i know many people who enjoy all the details of a wedding. pretty invites, cakes, dresses. i know i do .
yeah i also have to call bs on this list. i just had my wedding and i will list in order the items i was most complimented on by the guests :

if you are looking for inspiration, consider sternberg. as a child at elementary school, he flunked an iq test and generally failed to impress academically. “all my teachers thought i was stupid – and i thought i was stupid. ” he might have bombed out of school, had he not later found a mentor who realised there was more to smart thinking than abstract problems, and encouraged him to train his mind more broadly. thanks to that support, he is now a professor at cornell .
i have to agree with this when attending weddings these lists are accurate… however i’m trying to remember these tips as i plan my own right now… hard not to get caught up on the little things on details .

i just found out if the wedding guests do not care about some of it. but if we decorate our wedding with something that is not special, it will be a joke for all the friends who come. i think everything you’re talking about is what the wedding party guests see. come on, do not talk about stupid things because it’s a wedding party. everyone wants to make the party perfect and unforgettable. - stateofdreaming. nl
most of the actors in i not stupid are veterans in acting, and although none of them offer spectacular performances, there is nothing much to nitpick at. its the three main child actors that surprise  despite their inexperience, their performances are suitably realistic (they are, after all, probably playing themselves). the film offers its fair share of funny moments  take, for example, the incredibly bad barbecued pork advertising campaign created by a caucasian  but is at times hampered by overt melodrama. the other barbecued pork campaign in the movie is a gem, however, and i can actually envision the campaign working in real life. i not stupid is, as its title suggests, not a stupid movie, and it will hopefully bring the local movie industry back on track following years of disappointing releases .
as someone with alcoholics for in - laws, i made sure there was not a drop of booze at my wedding – a decade later, not a soul cares. thumbs down .
i don’t care about the ceremony. i skip attending when i can. they can be really sappy and embarrassing. also, not a churchy type so much of the god part is lost on me. ceremony goes to the top of the list of things i wish were not part of the whole wedding celebration. keep it to family only .
whether or not you like böhmermann' s music, the parody will make you laugh. odds are, you might even agree with how germany does things for we have, indeed ,

‘i not stupid’ started the signature ‘jack neo laugh and cry’ phenomenon. he literally makes you laugh one minute, then cry in the next, before making you laugh out loud again. and there are some parts he will make you laugh till you tear. ultimately, ‘i not stupid’ is still the number one singapore movie to me because, although some may think it could be more filmic, it has some of the most real moments on our cinematic screen. it calls to mind the hong kong movies by the hui brothers in the 1980s and the early feng xiaogang movies. these movies mirrored a slice of real life in the cities they were set in. most of us know ‘i not stupid’ spawned a sequel which was equally successful. to me, it spawned a whole generation of wannabe jack neo movies, some not bad, mostly not good. jack himself would go on to produce and direct more gems, culminating in his record - breaking ‘ah boys to men’ .

4. bouquet toss – honestly… i know exactly how the girls waiting for the bouquet toss and who do not get the bouquet feel. so, i will skip this too .
recently got engaged, and i already do not see the point of having programs or printed invitations when everyone has an email address. plus it saves the earth so why not? ! and honestly, i’ve been to many weddings where they don’t give out programs and i didn’t notice until the wedding finished .
i not stupid is jack neos latest addition to the growing stable of local movies, and for anyone familiar to the local scene, its pretty justified to say that jack neo is ubiquitous in local movies. he had appeared in twelve storeys and one leg kicking, was the screenwriter for money no enough (a phenomenal success), wrote and acted in liang po po: the movie, wrote and directed and acted in that one no enough you get my point. jack neo plays all three roles (writing, directing, acting) again in i not stupid, ostensibly a film about three primary school children who are struggling in their studies, but also a very thinly veiled satire on singapore politics. whilst containing quite a few gags, and chock - full of social commentary, i not stupid isnt a remarkable film, but it is a step in the right direction .
film critics and audiences have dubbed i not stupid an excellent commentary on the education system and government paternalism. the movie stars three school children who have been channelled into the undesirable em3 stream, and shows the trials and tribulation of these children and their parents. i not stupid has been described as a
coming of age movie
1 for its rare ability to criticise the government and its policies and bring pertinent issues to light, so much so that many are surprised that it managed to get past the not - too - kind local board of censors. this presents us with an interesting question - with its explicit references to the government and its blatant criticisms of

i’m planning my wedding now and found the point of this article to be very helpful. i have made it my goal not to stress at all…although, i know i will as it gets closer. my fiancee was the one who wanted a wedding…i would have been fine eloping. remember, it is about you and your new spouse…don’t sweat the small stuff. 🙂

oohhhh! ! the most fantastic asian movie i have ever seen. i not stupid was really good but i enjoyed the second one better. after i watched it, i rushed back home to watch the first one. i was amazed to see how young they all looked in the first movie. i especially enjoyed the parts of tom and chengcai. my sister went on a different day and she told me when joshua ang (who plays chengccai) took off his shirt, she and her friend screamed! ! lolx. but it also has sad movies, and i cried almost a bucket of tears... . =) ) i also laughed like hell when jerry thought he had made his friend pregnant! ! but i could not enjoy it very much because the people behind me were so noisy! ! grrrrrr. as a conclusion, i think this film is a must see for everyone in the world! ! i also laughed when jerry tried to ask his brother where do babies come from! ! enjoy the movie! !
p. s. i really did love last night' s episode except for this sub - plot and the stupid plan to capture a wight. check out my review here. also check out these three big reveals you may have missed .
i think people are getting awfully sensitive about this. some of it i think the writer phrased a little too harshly honestly. while yes, it’s true the wedding industry preys on couples i will say this, weddings are usually fun to go to and i’ll tell you right now from all the weddings i went to there are things on here i do an don’t remember .
i love this list. i work in the wedding industry and am planning my own wedding currently. i have attended weddings that were anywhere from half a million dollars to weddings that were five thousand dollars. i don’t remember what the dress looked like at either. i don’t remember what the favors were at either. i don’t remember what the flowers looked like at either .
of all the weddings i’ve ever been too. i remember 1. the ceremony, i always shed a tear! 2. the food 3. the party vibes. simple is best !
i will be thinking of you, please take care and if you need anything else please don' t hesitate to write back in and i will help you in any way i can .
i agree with the list. times have changed. i’m not shocked at the negative comments. normally it comes from those that actually care about all the things that really don’t matter too much to the overall wedding guest. and i suggest people proof read before publishing their comments .
terrified, i pick up the room phone and try to dial reception. the phone is clearly broken or not connected, and i’m in too much of a state to work out what is going on. i fling some clothes on over my pyjamas and rush down to reception .
4) personally i hate the bouquet tosses. i feel like its just a mockery of single ladies out there. plus, since i love flowers i’d personally want to preserve my wedding bouquet somehow as opposed to tossing it to someone who is just gonna toss it anyway

it’s my last night in a hotel in baltimore, and i’ll be getting up early the next morning to catch a flight, so i go to bed quite early, maybe nine pm. i’m dozing off and i hear some rattling, like someone’s trying to open my door. they can’t do it because they don’t have the right key, and anyway, i’ve put the safety latch on. the noise stops, and i assume they’ve spotted that they have the wrong room, or maybe i just imagined it because i was half asleep .
i don' t know what to do... i love him a lot but feel stupid that i do. i know that none of my friend' s boyfriends are like this, and i have never told any of them what he is like. they think he is a great guy and is really nice, because around everyone else he acts so sweet and kind, and usually is to me most of the time, but does frequently lose his temper and say and threaten nasty things to me almost every day. it usually only lasts a few minutes before he stops and then pretends it never happened. i don' t know what to do because i don' t want to leave him, but i know what he is doing isn' t right. please advise me on what i should do .
another negative aspect (but, as ive mentioned before when i watched one leg kicking, probably unavoidable) of i not stupid is the product placements in the film. it is perfectly all right to have subtle product placements in a movie (who doesnt need the cash ?), but to have characters blurt out the product names and have shots composed of nothing but a slow, loving pan of the products is another matter altogether. at the end of i not stupid, it is guaranteed that any audience member can tell you who the sponsors are  bee cheng hiang barbecued pork, pink dolphin calcium drink, and sunshine bread. this is product placement done to an illogical extreme, and can be pretty irksome. unfortunately, the movie industry in singapore still needs injections of cash from these vendors, so theres nothing much anyone can do about it .
1. i love 4k it is my fault for trying to make a nuanced argument on the internet. i have a 102 - inch

“three hours, ” louis - dreyfus said. “you know, i kept wondering if you were going to end it. i was afraid to leave. were you wondering if i was going to leave? ”
some of these things i believe are for the bride herself like the type of dress she wants. i can tell you right now. i would want my dress to be special to me. unique that looks great on me that i won’t see the bride of the next wedding i go to wearing it or something similar to it. that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s gotta be a designer’s dress but i’ll tell you right now, almost every time i choose something to wear i almost always end up picking something expensive not because of the designer but for the actual design itself. but be honest if you are picking a regular plain strapless with a sash do you really need to get the designer one when you can easily pick an almost identical one from david’s bridal for a lot cheaper? every wedding i’ve been to i’ve never known who made their bride’s dress, i only know whether or not she looked beautiful in it or like a stuffed sausage .
in the actual interview holt, though clearly shocked, repressed any contempt. there is already a grain of absurdity in holt’s strained stoicism. but snl has to show us “the truth”: if trump is stupid, comedy trump must be very obviously stupid, and a schoolmarm must tell him, “on everyone’s behalf: i can’t believe you’re president. ” the joke, in this case, is a wish your heart makes—the fluttering hope that everyone in the world recognizes and shares your problems .
you are you kidding? people i know care about all of this. especially the favour bags. this is the dumbest list i’ve ever seen
“i’m sorry, you’re fading - hold on until i move into the front room, it’s the only place with a proper phone signal. ”
“i’m not going to spend the next hour making sure the motorcade arrives smoothly, ” iannucci said. “you’re only going to see it for a second. ”
“people whose big outward and ‘important’ lives are run on a very small and impaired set of inner resources. ” he went on, “that just really appeals to me comedically... . big people with small hearts. stupid people with high i. q. s. ”
ultimately it’s your wedding, pick something that makes you happy but set your budget and stick to it! and don’t spend frivoulously on stuff that doesn’t matter that much to you. put the full money out on things you really want not stupid stuff like table cloths that people won’t notice anyway .

so basically the guest don’t care about anything? i don’t know about anyone else, but i cant help it when it comes to critiquing someone’s wedding. i care about everything! this article is crazy to me .
the ‘extremely stupid’ quote is on page 170. as the volume above makes clear, this is an extract from life and letters of charles darwin, volume 2, pages 187 - 190 and 195 - 197 .
cast - character i took this list from urltoken and if you see any mistake as to the names (frankly other than jack neo and some other actors, the rest is like strangers to me), do not e - mail me since i can' t amend this review as this is not e - buzz .
i honestly don’t care if any of that matters to the guests. this sounds like it was written by someone who regrets spending a bunch of money on their wedding. what doesn’t matter is what the guests care about. a wedding isn’t about the guests. i try to keep my guests in mind however my dress, our cake, our first dance, (not doing the bouquet toss because i’m going to keep my bouquet), the guestbook or whatever they’re signing in place of a book itself, the decorations are the bride and grooms personal preference and they don’t have to, need to, or should nix all or most or not choose to spend their money or time on the things they want. my dress is 1350. i love it. regardless of whether or not i’m going to wear it again is not anyone else’s concern. a bride may wish she spent less money and had a simple wedding but nothing beats having hundreds of pictures of all of these moments that you cared about. favors are one thing, i’m doing them because i want to. not because i care if people want the favor or not .
i felt this was a good list. i’ve been married 25yrs and have since attended many weddings. most of the things on this list the guests don’t remember. i appreciate a nice invite and nowdays love the couples photo on them. it hangs on my frig until the date then sadly recycled. i also like reading a program but usually think people wasted money when they put them on high dollar paper, i will just recycle if it even makes it home with me. i’m not saying don’t do them just don’t spend high dollar. again very few people know the exact price of your dress unless you tell them. you can get many dresses that look awesome and don’t cost $ 10, 000. the only thing on the list i disagreed with was the first dance. although i may not remember every first dance in my head i do know that each one i’ve watched i was touched and it always makes me think of my first moments as a bride too. flowers — only your flow - erst knows the truth. again you can get beautiful flowers and not pay a fortune. i’ve never attended one without flowers though and i would notice that. you just expect flowers at a wedding. cake i’m sure i’ve eaten some very expensive wedding cake and didn’t know it. no one wants yucky cake but again not a place to spend a fortune for fancy extras. less is more, but all white is boring. linens — i do remember fancy linens — as a waste of money! agree i don’t want to eat on burlap but some are going overboard. put that money into food and drinks and good music! ! gifts for guests — why? ? i don’t expect them, we didn’t do that years ago. a bowl of sweets at the table while we wait i’m good. please know i think make it your day but i agree really look into the extras and see where the money is better spent .
love this list. i too am not surprised by all the negative comments but as i plan my wedding all of these keep ringing true for me. . for example, i really don’t want to do a bouquet toss. i think they’re awkward and totally kill the dancing vibes. glad to have some reassurance that so many brides feel the same. (plus why do i want to pay extra for a bouquet some guests will toss 2 weeks later! ? )
i feel bad for you and for your relatives sitting around having shallow conversations about a day that to someone was so special. the money spent is not what it’s about and in the end absolutely has no indication on whether a relationship will last. honestly what is wrong with people. what a person, or their parents spent on their wedding would never ever affect the amount i spent on there gift, but that’s because i’m not cheap and i’m giving the gift for the right reason .
wayne rooney was too young at the time i did his book, just 19, and rather hesitant and tongue - tied, so it was hard to get him to reflect on his life, but clearly he wasn’t stupid. with age and maturity and experience of leadership, he has greatly developed .
as another commented ,
i not stupid
does have a tv movie oeuvre. it has slapsticky humor and comedy skit acting. but to this american, it gave me some insight into the psyche of the mind of the singaporean, at least the ethnic chinese. overall it is a funny movie. the best moment was the ad for the chinese bbq pork. laugh out loud hilarious !
i agree with this list with the caveat that some things, especially the first dance, are for the couple not the guests. i know that my first dance is boring, i don’t care. it’s about spending a calm sweet moment with your new spouse. invitations? i may remember them but i toss it after the event. every couple / family is different so don’t take the internet as gospel, do what’s important to you and don’t worry about the other things !
i agree with ellen – the point is not that these things aren’t ‘important’, it’s looking at the big picture – is the wedding about the ‘perfect day’ (and they never are, which often adds to the fun) or celebrating your commitment with those you love. if you have a very limited budget you can still be creative and have a beautiful wedding! and call in favors to vendor friends to barter as gifts – win win. i try to remember this as i dress for a wedding, and i stress about how i look, my last look in the mirror, i smile big and say “remember, it’s not about me! ”
i not stupid isnt exactly a complex tale, but the plot branches into so many different directions at once that no plot thread takes a central focus. kudos to jack neo for trying at least to tie up almost all the loose ends in the final reel. unfortunately, many a time it felt as though jack neo was channeling his own thoughts of the government through his characters, especially when the children in the movie start alluding to government policies and politics in general (i counted at least three occurrences). nothing is sacred in i not stupid  everything, from the educational system, to the cpf scheme, to the new singapore shares, to the governments pre - election tactics, to foreign workers in singapore, to the colonial mentality of some singaporeans whilst some of these digs are pretty subtle, a large majority is blatant and in - your - face  selena tans character is particularly so. what could possibly be most shocking is that the singapore censors actually allowed this film through in the first place. although such subject matter makes the film immediately accessible to singaporeans, i not stupid falls into the same
trap
as those that came before it  that it is so steeped in local in - jokes that it has no portability across national boundaries .

“the ‘origin’ provided us with the working hypothesis we sought. moreover, it did the immense service of freeing us for ever from the dilemma – refuse to accept the creation hypothesis, and what have you to propose that can be accepted by any cautious reasoned? in 1857 i had no answer ready, and i do not think that anyone else had. a year later we reproached ourselves with dullness for being perplexed with such an inquiry. my reflection, when i first made myself master of the central idea of the ‘origin’ was, ‘how extremely stupid not to have thought of that! ’ i suppose that columbus’ companions said much the same when he made the egg stand on end. ” (huxley 1887: 2: 197 )
i bought this book because i was inspired to hear of her story about starting her own school, as an ordinary person. i was fascinated to hear more about her experiences of living with autistic people and raising her children, and it really helped me to understand how difficult this must be at times. the book is well written, and her passion comes across on every page. i' m glad i read it, and i think i will remember this story to encourage me to battle on when all the doors seem to be closed .
well i have to say that it was very true to life, things like that happen all the time in singapore (so i really don' t know why some people in singapore call it
creative
since it was lifted straight from life). this movie was set in a primary school, i' m not sure which. i graduated from primary school 3 years ago, but being in a class with some em3 students, i have to admit that life for an em3 student was just seriously bad, when you have the misfortune of meeting people who judge you by your results. even though i was never in em3, i could still feel for the kids portrayed in the movie because i' ve seen it before in life, and some of the pressure was also felt by students in the em2 stream as well (though not as much), which i was in .
i read the first point and disagreed so straight outta the blocks this article and i didn’t see eye to eye hahaha i actually do really care about the invitations. i like seeing how couples choose to represent themselves and their weddings from the very start. likewise the dress! i have lost count how many weddings i’ve been to but i could tell you what each bride wore if you said their name. whereas i don’t think i need any favours or edible treats. i don’t want to eat sugared almonds or something else not that pleasant now, after your reception, or ever. the open bar too? completely disagree with that one. i think it’s pretty sad if keeping the alcohol flowing is needed to keep people sparkling all night. i have never been to a reception where moderate alcohol consumption limited the celebrations, in fact the total opposite. bottom line? the atmosphere you set is way more important and a glass or 2 of champers doesn’t have to be a bottle or 2 to keep guests happy if they’re really your friends !
' i’m a mitzvah' is a strangely touching sendoff to a best friend .
if i could do it over again, the only thing i would change would be to spend less time with the photographer, and more with my guests .
wow! i couldn’t disagree more! !! while i understood what the writer was saying, i absolutely care about all of those things and pay attention to them. i really think most women do. the dress is the first thing i noticed, the flowers if they are not tasteful i noticed that as well. all of the little details is what makes a wedding absolutely gorgeous. so hopefully brides won’t listen to this because you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make these things look nice, but they really do make all the difference in the world .
i just have to comment after reading all the negative comments to this article. the point is that a wedding is not something to get incredibly stressed out about or spend $ 50, 000! if someone honestly paid attention and judged me for “capitalizing every word on my invitation” as one commenter said - i do not want you at my wedding. i honestly cannot believe the amount of comments that basically say they go to weddings to judge every detail - and no doubt talk crap about their “friend” later on for not spending enough money .
a note ok, this is my very first, read very first review for dear spcnet. it' s not that i am not going to post this review elsewhere but i feel since i have something to say about a movie made by my local compatriots (singapore and malaysia, however estranged, are still long lost family in my opinion, we have our moments i guess), i guess i must do this fast. more so, i want the dubious honour of posting the first non - hk (hong kong) movie in this section. i can see the honours coming. but why i chose this movie as my first review in here is simple. nothing satisfies me more than the fact that a
locally
produced movie could be so much more better than everywhere else. of course
the eye
would be my second review since more so, there' s our local girl in there .
“i had it down as this would be a half - hour ‘getting to know you, ’ ” iannucci said. “and i was expecting lots of people. ”
it' s been a while since i' ve seen the movie. overall, i thought that it was better than most movies to have come out of singapore. though the idea it sports is not entirely new, the film managed to entertain audiences with its high - paced singaporean humor. character development was quite ok i guess as i felt for the boy at the end. the acting was typical of a singaporean movie and unfortunately this failed to serve my taste. however, the movie did not put me to sleep and for that commendable achievement i have given it a rating of 6 / 10 .
ohhhh this made for an interesting read and i like that it’s controversial and causing a debate! personally i disagree with points 1 - 10 not because of the items that have been listed but because i feel every couple know their guests best. as a guest i remember everything maybe this is because i’m in the wedding industry or maybe it’s just coz i’m into that kinda thing. yes, couples get married for themselves so they are married, but if you really don’t care about making your guests happy then why bother having any in the first place. plan the wedding of your dreams not the wants or expectations of others. good luck gorgeous brides - to - be and follow your heart !
we' re not planning on guests bringing gifts - and will actually probably ask that they not to. we' re not spending & dollar; 25 / pp - probably more like & dollar; 5 - 10... it' s the same as any party we do at the house... just for a special occassion and i' ll have pictures about .
refer to my rating below, i feel it is justified. i could give this one full marks but there are some weaknesses, like the script of this movie whilst wonderful may be a bit too sugar coated towards the end. but hey, all' s well will always what? yep, have a happy ending! and why not? watch this movie and you' ll smile. i do think jack neo has outdone himself, as this was even better than
money no enough
( about men and money) and, if i am not mistaken ,
that one not enough
( about men and infidelity) .
so you literally hate everything about a wedding? why do you even go? for most brides, all of the things you mentioned are important. i am planning my wedding right now, and i can’t imagine not having any of the things you said guests hate. i don’t know what guests you are talking to. the guest book is something for the bride and groom to go back and look at, in the years to come. its not for the guests anyways! i have asked many people what 2 things do you look forward to seeing at the wedding, and most people i have asked said the cake and the dress. this is literally the worst article i have ever read about weddings .
this list is spot on. i know when i’ve gone to weddings, all the items on this list are things i could care less about! sorry, don’t remember the dress, centerpieces, flowers, or invitations. all i remember is if i had a good time. i’m currently planning my own wedding, and the one piece of advice i’ve heard from other married couples is no one cares about the little stuff, so don’t sweat it! you can still have a fabulous wedding that guests will talk about without breaking your back over minute details that no one will miss or notice. thank you so much for this list! it reaffirmed what i was already thinking 🙂
i think a good portion of this is very true. i have seen too much time, money and stress spent on things that do not matter at the end of wedding. guests remember a sweet ceremony, great dinner, free drinks and a rocking d. j .
i' m not wearing my dress, but will probably get some sort of white sundress or something more casual and wear my wedding shoes. i can totally see myself walking around my house in my tiara... but that has nothing to do with the wedding .
i’m so glad i read this list! the biggest take away, here, was what was mentioned about invitations. i’m having a destination wedding in mexico and am about to crack down on ordering my invitations. i’ve been pretty set on doing a passport style invite, but they’re definitely spendier & i think it’d be smarter to save some some of that money for other expenses. thank you for opening my eyes! ! !
you are not to blame in any way, and you definitely do not deserve to be treated in this way ever. you deserve so much more than that. you deserve to be treated with kindness, and respect, and gentleness. love is not abusive, love does not speak to you the way he does, love does not strangle you (however briefly) or raise his hands to you (even if he doesn' t hit you ,) love doesn' t speak to you in a hurtful way .
i agree with you… i am planning my wedding now…and when i get invites to weddings i think about there’s. questions arise and i think “did i really care how fancy the invitation was? ” or “the flowers were pretty but must have cost a fortune to throw away. ” i want to get flowers that guests can take home if they want and rent decor unless its gonna be a keep safe i will make… i can make my wedding beautiful without breaking my self and acting like a lunatic when something goes wrong. . and it will but i will make the best of it. . i feel ppl who like to spend daddys money (which he will get a large loan for and pay till your divorced, then another loan to pay for that) or their rich fiances money (in other words means you lime his picket book more if he pays for it) is one who will get the ice sculptures and the $ 600 invites with 500 friends… i mean really? who associates with 500 ppl a day? everyday all day? not i… besides by the end of the night you would be kicking off your shoes and dress (or pants) and married to the love of your life! !
uhm i love the bouquet toss! ! i got the bouquet at my sisters wedding and my fiancé actually caught the garder! and guess who really is getting married this time? ! me! the wedding dress and the first dance is basically the number one thing dream about when i think of my wedding (aside from the actual ceremony) i love getting free candy at weddings. i agree that things don’t necessarily have to be extravagant, but i wouldn’t go as far as saying “people don’t care” that just isn’t true. and finally i’m having an outside wedding in the fall, and it’s going to be amazing because i live in arizona, so the weather will be perfect .

efren hernandez’s film < i > muscle man < / i > plays out like a highlight reel of a severely dysfunctional couple whose home videos have found their way onto youtube .
as a wedding guest, i would have to agree with keeping the ceremony short. allow me to add, i also don’t care for the “write your own vows” thing .
ang boon hock is kid with adult responsibilities, whose mom is the owner of a wanton mee stall and whose father we never see, so presumably he' s dead. he has to juggle taking care of the shop, serving customers, taking care of his younger baby brother whilst his mom works, doing tons of homework, studying and the stigma of being branded hopeless. as the sayings goes (by the government themselves), stupid people marrying stupid people will produce stupid children. but boon hock, after being inspired by a new math teacher who actually cared about her students, studied hard to better himself, because he knew he could. being the most mature and a loyal friend, he is often the one most clear headed and the most dependable .
instead, we have decreed that sheep (ovis aries) are just plain stupid. this opinion has not changed much since the 1700s, when george washington, one of the founding fathers of the united states of america, declared :
if the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter .
my cousin and his wife did. it was great. it was a way to include the family members that did not get to go to the actual wedding. i would encourage you to do it. as a family member that didn' t get to go i loved it!
