Reasons.... WHY I WON'T

I just flipped through some really nice pre-wedding pictures with amazement. It was really nice piece of work, err... art  and blah... blah... blah.... (kudos! kudos). Well it is indeed something to place them first place in today's "challenging-I-am-better-wedding". Pictures taken from as far as New Zealand, Japan on the Mt. Fuji, Prague and the most bombastic I seen so far has got to be on a snowing mountain of Switzerland BUT then for the less, China & Taiwan is the substitute for the other costly destinations. All this has us including myself (no pun intended!) ogling and saying wow! 

(Pun intended now) Even though we could afford that kind of boisterous pictures taking, we will not! My friends ask me WHY??!! It's once in a lifetime! (OK! During this wedding prep period, I had heard that phrase used like a million times and it's a little really overrated! Wedding is Once in a lifetime! But so are all the other events in my life! They are as important! It is people's kiasu attitude that makes people especially particular about it. I am not going to embark on this "I want to be better than my friends" attitude) What is the use of squeezing your wallets and working extra part time just for this? I known a few friends like that! 

Reasons why I wont even though it is so call once in a lifetime! 
Firstly : 
Those pictures are nice to look at and it will make my friends drool over it BUT its just pictures and 5 or 10 years down the road, it will just be like any other pictures! Plus many married couple will share with you, they are actually a pile of white elephants at home!(Who would ten years later still ogle at your own self and say WAH!) 

Secondly :  Why waste all the money? (Oh! I forgot! There are actually a lot of filthy rich folks out there whose dad can afford Bentley or a Lambo and so they do not know what to do with their extra money in the bank! Ok that is acceptable! Kudos to them!)

Thirdly : 
The hassle involved in arranging those trips and time wasted! I rather have a lavish wedding, where all my guest felt appreciated, cozy and personal. 
Ok! Whatever! I wouldnt want to go on! Its your own wedding do what you want as long as you are happy, after all 'ITS ONCE IN A LIFETIME' isn't it??
