Rolls Royce... the Chinese characters signify hundred years of excellent union...
Rolls in a motorcade which looks more like a government event with foreign VVIPs...
Last minute haggle over size of angpows... before bride is allowed to leave with groom...
Any amount should not be a problem...
Procession being filmed!
I hope the pictures do not put off those who are about to get married. You do not need such grand presentation to get married. To console ourselves lesser mortals, here is the reality check:
Chinese adage about Money
Words from Zhang Zhongmou
With money:
you can buy a house but you can't buy a home;
you can buy a clock but you can't buy time;
you can buy a bed but you can't buy enough sleep;
you can buy a book but you can't buy knowledge;
you can buy medical treatment but you can't buy health;
you can buy a footing but you can't buy respect;
you can buy blood but you can't buy life;
you can buy sex but you can't buy love;
A Hakka sour grape would put it as: 'Thoong yin ng thoong miang' or 'same type of people but different life styles'!
