They are the ones who will be demanding.. you just have to fork out the money and play along. Worse yet, one of the parents will ask you to go through the whole 3 days of chinese ceremony and praying to all the gods in the sky. Worse yet, he is a dayak or kadazan and will have a 7 day celebration with cows, goats and chickens being slaughtered.

AUD$2500, is average for the time. :-) AUD$10K would have been practically unheard of in 1990! Suan – put it into the year it was done.

Cost would have been $500, but my In-Laws [who weren't paying by the way] insisted on getting them done by a proper Photo-Studio. The Wedding dress cost $4000 to hire. [Which explains a LOT of the cost of the wedding. In fact, it was ALMOST HALF the cost! Grrrr!] lol But, I now have Suan saying I got off lightly on the photos and LT saying I got conned. Like I said, $2500 was about average at the time, so I neither got off lightly, nor got conned. It was smack bang middle of the road! [Of course, standing in the middle of the road would explain the smack and bang sound!] :-) LT – Yeah, I wanted to go with a Photographer who was trying to establish themselves.

Whole wedding was done on the cheap, and came to AUD$10K [because we got the cars for free, the hall for free etc]. My in-laws put in about $500 towards it. The rest was paid for by ME!!!! I must remember to marry into money next time! lol AUD$2.5K was actually about Average in 1990.

NO chinese-style wedding dinner puhlease. If the time may come(in a long, long, long time)for me to get hitched, I want it to be a simple outdoor, open-air garden style affair. Bitches can come in summer dresses and flip flops, and we can dance like hippies around the place after too much champagne. FUN! But on the other hand, I have a feeling the elders might still think that you have something to hide when you don't held a proper chinese wedding dinner.
