| Those poor overworked Chinese bridesmaids |
| Friday, October 14, 2005 |
Last year, 10 million Chinese couples got married and they spent USD 30 billion on wedding ceremonies.
That's at least 10 million family arguments, 10 million shall we play Madonna or Phil Collins for the bridal waltz? conversations, 10 million hideously expensive white fouffy dresses - okay so some of them are red silk, but they are still hideously expensive - and quite possibly 30 million bridesmaids saying in their heads Geez do I really have to wear that disgusting outfit? AND blue eyeshadow? Er no thanks.
I know there are a lot of you in China, but really just stop already, if only to spare the poor bridesmaids.
AND
Chairman Mao is being MC at lots of the weddings. I'm not kidding. Well it's an actor pretending to be Chairman Mao - but he's really popular and I'm sure delights all the guests with readings out of the little red book. Afterwards guests can say "Chairman Mao say ... wedding cake had too many sultana", "Chairman Mao say ... bride's dress big white fouffy meringue", "Chairman Mao say ... Father of bride too drunk when making speech".
Okay so maybe I did watch too much Mind Your Language on TV when I was a kid; what of it? |
