I am kinda impressed with how today's couples handle their wedding invitation. Friends that are of my age group are still not in the stage of marriage yet, so these invitations that i received are those above 26 yrs. old.
Case 1: The first invitation I received in September was still not a shock, he (A friend that we did not contact for atleast, er.. 2 years?) contacted me thru phone the first time about a month before his wedding, and asked if he could visit to pass me the card, a week after he called again and apologized because he was really packed up and couldn't give the card personally and asked if could send in by email. Which I think was reasonably okay, at least he was sincere to inviting his guests. And his email came in one or two days after. And I attended his wedding. Pretty ok to meet up with a few old friends. and Yes, it was the FIRST WEDDING I attended in these few years, and the FIRST friend that got married.
Case 2: Invitation through facebook. Well, I think it's okay too. I don't think all guests were only invited thru facebook, because I overheard some invitation snail mail and stuff like that. Anyway, I am totally fine with it, as long as you are showing sincerity in invitating people.
Case 3: Invitation through SMS. No comment.
Case 4: This was the most, er, How would I say. Weird? Strange? Funny? Ridiculous? Personally I know both the couple, for quite many years, but we don't keep in touch. Well, she called 3 weeks before her wedding dinner and invited through phone, asked for email address so I gave. Nothing happened until one week before, she called to confirm again, but due to my sister also pending for her engagement dinner, so I told her that I will have to double confirmed again.That night itself I replied her and gave my home address, just in case if she'd like to send snail mail invitation. 4 days after, (which was 3 days before the wedding dinner), she messaged me on phone again to ask for my email address, so then I gave AGAIN. 1 day before the wedding dinner, I still didn't receive her email, so I messaged her on phone congratulate her and mentioned that I did not receive her email. So I thought, aiya~ nvm lar. Save my pocket money :P then around 1am in the morning (which means on the wedding dinner day), her reply was : ' I SENT YOU JUST NOW, PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL'. and I typed it here as exactly what she sent me. =S I was like, er, I really couldn't feel/think she was sincere, and was like as if I was begging to go for her wedding dinner. Oh Mine, So after a few advises and consultation, I came out with a solution. lols.. hah~ I didn't attend, but of course, I told her. And she didn't even bother lar. haha~
Is it ME or anyone out there had the same incident(s) happened before too???
And is our economy that bad nowadays that these new couples are saving/relying on technologies today and forgetting the old traditional practices that we had/used to have?
I wonder..
where u go oh?
