The banquet is most of the time, to make the parents of both
sides happy.
If they are not happy, they will make sure that your married
life is not happy as well. I am speaking from experience. Unless
you are willing to migrate and move away far, far from
them...otherwise the banquet is almost a must.
LOL, yes, my mother is not happy that I never hold a banquet for
her. I was just gossiping with my sister and she tells me my
mother felt that I should hold a banquet, so I wont 'lose out' with
my ex hub.
My mother never tells me that. So come to think of it, i
guess its true. Parents always want their kids to have
banquets for their wedding.
But making life difficult part will go away, usually with the
birth of a grandchild.
Though.....that holding banquet thing is, I think we Singaporean
spoilt our parents by paying for our own wedding, thats why they
demand things of us instead of helping us kids.
