[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Asian style wedding style is to have the wedding local and [b]everyone gives the bride and groom $150 for singles and $300 for couples.  Parents, brothers, sisters, and relatives give a lot more, like $3000 each[/b].  The bride and groom will be very profitable after the wedding.  I had over 10K in profit after paying off the reception dinner.  Same with my brothers and sisters wedding.

Do you print the admission fees on the invoices you send along with the summonses?[/quote]

Don’t let your racism hit you in the back on the way out.

As Pp above mentioned, Asian families are generally expected to give big gifts to relatives but you return the favor when they or their grandkids are getting married. It helps reinforce family bonds and support. [/quote]

And PP's comment about the guests covering the costs of the celebration is racist because ... why?[/quote]

Guests are also giving money to the bride and groom along with family members.  That's their way of paying back what the bride and groom's parents gave guests' children when they got married.  That's just standard practice and has been going on for years.[/quote]

But where was the claimed racism? Also, why are you reducing an entire continent to a monoculture. [/quote]

PP was talking about “Asian style weddings” - ie, wedding gifting that is done a certain way in Asian culture - and another PP took a sarcastic jab about it. Being culturally insensitive about that is racism. Just because another culture does wedding gifts differently than you doesn’t make it right to make rude remarks about it. [/quote]
