The crafter remarked, “So just because they want to impress people at their wedding, they will be servicing a loan for 17 freaking years”.
Hypeman stated, “Dear Unmarried Youth, you don’t have to get yourself in debt because you want a flashy wedding. I myself prefer something little and well organised. A wedding isn’t a show of wealth”.
Mindya , “Yea, there’s no way I’m doing all that. We’re going down to the city hall and getting married. If we want a big wedding we’ll save so we can do it big but we’re not living beyond our means for a one day event. Nope”.
Night rider, “A wedding lasts a day, but the debt can shadow a lifetime love should never begin beneath the weight of a bill”.
