What will you do if you are invited to a wedding across the causeway and the host offered to put you up on free accomodation for the night, so that you can maybe go tour around a bit before returning home the next day and get ready for another work week?
And what would you do, if someone among the friends whom were invited, offered to source for transport so that everyone can just get on the mini-bus and travel together? Sound good rite? However, I cannot understand why things turn out to be less than ideal. Ok, since I can't attend the wedding in the first place and I'm not the organiser, I probably should not kick up a fuss but hey, I had organised events/ trips before and I know how it feels like when people do not appreciate and directly/ indirectly make things difficult.
So now first of all, the host had graciously booked hotel rooms for the guests and transport had been arranged, so I heard an itinery was even planned for the half day after the wedding night so that all can have a good time.
Then came the problem. Some could not stay for the night and need to return to Singapore on the same night. And now there is this problem of transport. Those who wish to come back early need to find their own transport and those remaining will have to fork out extra in order to make up the difference. And of course there are yet others who then feel that since not everyone is staying, they are also thinking of returning home after the dinner.
Sigh... althought to each his own but then, have these people consider the fact that the host is trying his best to make things as comfortable for the guests as possible har? Shouldn't you guys spare a thought and not make things difficult for him? Its his wedding lor, and I'm sure he has enuf on his plate than to keep asking you guys to stay. I mean you people are arguing about forking that extra $10, $20 for the transport but he has already booked 3 hotel rooms for you people lor!
And of course, there are always those who dun contribute to the planning or the logistics but once the organiser(s) came up with the plan, then they suddenly have much to comment and suggest... This is the group that kills the fun out of any outings...
Ok lah, like I said, since I'm not attending and I'm not the part of the organising comm this time round, I should not make further comments but I urge those who are involved to 以大局为重, please make it a memorable wedding for the groom but not memorable for the wrong reasons ok?
