Do Pinays think that their Wedding day is the most important day in a girl's life.

[JUST_JT]

I really don't get this obsession with the celebration.

Ginawa lang namin yun kasi, magagalit ang mga kamag-anak namin pag hindi man lang sila pinapunta nung nagpakasal kami. Siyempre kung may bisita, may pakain.

Konti nga lang pinapunta namin. 5,000 lang ata or less ginastos namin sa pagkain (less nga talaga yata). Sa bahay pa para hindi mahal.

You obviously have modest means at the time....

^^ problem with assumptions... hahaha

[josiah2010_]

Nah. We were both based in the US when we got married. My family and most of my friends were in the Philippines, most of his family was in Peru.

Anyway, when he first proposed to me a year before, it became a tug of war between our families. My family wanted a wedding in the Philippines, his family wanted a wedding in Peru.

Just think, gotta please two families? From 2 opposite continents and the expense that it will entail? Too much stress.

going back to phlippines, no celebration occured?

[quick_ben]

celebration doesn't mean to have many guests..

kahit mommy and daddy lang with siblings..

just the immediate family.

eh papaano kung gaya nung kaibigan ko.

Isang araw, sabi ng babae sa lalake: "papakasalan mo ba ako?"
Lalake: "Siyempre"

Babae: "kailan"
Lalake: "Bukas" (or maybe "sa Friday") or baka may time naman makapag handa.

Pagdating ng Friday, sabi ni babae sa akin: "diyan ka lang. Hintayin natin dumating <si lalake>"
Ako: Bakit?

Babae: Ikaw ang witness
Ako: Saan

Babae: pakasal na kami
Ako: <tulala>

Pagdating ni lalake: "Tara na. Sama ka, pre"

Punta kami city Hall.

pakasal sila. Walang singsing.
Pagkatapos ng kasal. Punta sila SM. Bili sila singsing. Uwi sa bahay. Kaninong bahay. di ko alam.
(natatawa ako pag naalala ko)

Ewan ko kung papaano nila sinabi sa parents nila.

That was 1991. Kasal pa rin sila hanggang ngayon.

[josiah2010_]

Quick_ben,

posible nga na mangyari yan pero hindi mo maikakaila na masasaktan talaga damdamin ng parents.

ice burn, your comment.
clear now?

DUH! it wasn't an assumption. Kaya nga sinabi ni JUST_JT

maybe they are loners.

Intiendes mo ba yung word na MAYBE?

Your family and his family can fly to the US to celebrate with you, no?

They.can't.afford?

Actually, no.

I think I had set aside some money. And I already had a good paying job.

Kaso I had this fear na when the girl gets pregnant or manganganak kukulangin kami, that early I was preparing for the most expensive scenario, including a C-Section birth.

Awa ng diyos, cesarian nga. Eksakto nga yung na set aside ko. hehehe....

[josiah2010_]

tsk tsk tsk.....

Krayon's overuse of the word ASSUMPTION.

She doesn't give a hoot about sharing the special event with friends and relatives.

Maybe.the.couple.are.loners.

my officemate here. 2 weeks ago lang nagpakasal sa huwes. sila lang ng jowa niya.walang mga magulang. wala silang pera para sa magarbong kasal at di kakayanin na pamasahe-han ang both parents (from Visayas at Mindanao). she's happy naman sa decision na magpakasal na agad after 1 year in relationship

[MissPicasso]

Is it true? Do you ladies feel that way? Do you think your wedding day is the most important day of your lives?

No. No, I don't. No, I don't.

[JUST_JT]

Actually, no.

That's what I meant - you only earned/saved enough... for a modest wedding.

[Krayon]

Actually, no.....

hmmm, applies here too, matter-of fact.

That's what I meant - you only earned/saved enough... for a modest wedding...

wait, how is it short again? you couldnt possibly know what his plans for saving up were.

i do hope you get it now, Just_JT.

[Zanya]

so you mean your trash este mom don't clean the house, tend to you guys, cook, laundry...etc?



and so your mom didn't get a wedding from your dad?


hmmmmmm.....

no offense, but where did you learn your analyzing skills? They should be closed down for good.

why are you so pissed because of what I said? I said "if you'll let him treat you like trash", I did not say you're trash. You're the one who mentioned about being an instant katulong not me.

with the way of your thinking, I'd rather scratch my cat than argue with you.

"Walang silang pera" are the key words.

...and where did you get an implication by doing housechores and making babies is trash?

surely you replied that to my post as to an essence of a married woman...


even with me mentioning "instant katulong"....so katulong is trash, huh?


tsk..tsk.... i pity your katulong sa house....trash pala sila....


so which is which? your mom is a trash or your maid is a trash??

[quick_ben]

How old is Josiah anyway?
