Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Weddings are an exciting event, but they aren’t all the same! Some people choose a traditional wedding. Other people go all out, with extravagant decorations and many guests.

However, weddings can be expensive! Some couples even go into debt to pay for everything. Because of this, many people these days choose to have an unconventional wedding and save money.

Oh God.!!


There we go.!!


Me. :)


We should cosider three complete different culturs and languages. I mean either my home country or the place where i’m located for the last a few years and also according to my finance’s culture.!!! So my finance and I gotta have three quite different wedding traditions in the same time. In fact everyone is worried except us. It’s gonna happen very soon. Date counter goes downer and downer. 


The fact is happiness. Therefore we don’t care about anything else such as financial or etc. 


Wish the best for us in this way. 


I wish good luck, happiness and wonderful life to u all too.

   Yes. There are different forms of wedding in our country, difference from areas , from times, such as the North and the South, the city and the country, the past and the modern…



I don’t know exactly the wedding of  other places and times for I have not experienced myself. ( maybe if you want to know the wedding of somewhere, you could know it by BaiDu on the internet web).



There are some different wedding even in the same place. Some families are very rich, and their wedding are very extravagant of course. But there also are very simple wedding in the rich families according their own ideas.



Usually, for the common people, all relatives , friends , Classmates who were invited would come on the wedding with their presents or a gift of money. Where the wedding holding on is at hotel, some at home.



   Indeed, there need a lot of money in the extravagant wedding. Many people would go in to the debt just for their faces. I think that the faces of the wedding people is far more than the meaning of the wedding itself when people need the debt to finish the wedding. It is a vanity, only a vanity.



   I think what kind of wedding would be held in accordance with their own economic decisions, rather than their faces and tradition. The wedding itself is a happy thing ,but it is a depressing thing when debt because of wedding.


   Whether the married life is happy or not, it is not due to the extravagant wedding. I always think so.
