Bridal shower Scam Scam, shower, Bridal

Rainy

Do the bridesmaids (Caucasian and Asian) actually host a bridal shower for the bride (Asian) and share the total cost of it? If so, would that count part of ‘the gift’ (aka 人情) to the bride? The Caucasian bridesmaid asked everyone else in the bridal shower that they MUST give a HUGE 人情 when they join the Asian dinner banquet. The Caucasian prepared everything for the bridal shower yet unable to provide receipts upon proof of purchase and claimed that the whole party of 10 girls costs $250! Not only that, was telling the Asian bridesmaid that it’s ONLY shared between bridesmaid, not any other girls who have invited. Yet, the other girls did ask the Caucasian girl how much they should be chipping in. What makes it worse is that the Asian bridesmaid saw other girls giving money to this Caucasian bridesmaid!

The so called $250 worth of food:


I think a picture worths for thousand words! 再加個 Asian cake, 8'.

咁，個PARTY係咪有D昂貴嘅節目或遊戲？
係咪租PARTY ROOM，所以有＄250？ ...

    點睇, 都睇唔出邊樣野係街買, except for the fruit plate! 昂貴嘅節目或遊戲? 用garbage bag 同 bathroom paper. 果D一定係天價啦...  =.=

    if only 十元八塊, I wouldn't even going to care about it. The thing is..... it's not 十元八塊..... and it's not about the money part anymore. The bride actually said that it's none of her business and told me to suck it up. And, 個 bride 講到明, 我一定要俾人情, 唔可以 .... 以下補上.... 要俾多D, 因為bridesmaid 要俾多D wor.................. 0甘咪做兩次禮囉, 好似? 倸~~ 嫁兩次咩.... =.=
