Expensive industry

Weddings...
such expensive industry...
"once in a lifetime" reason often used to maximize prices and elaborate expenses sometimes more than one can afford..
The same food sold in the cafeterias and food courts or malls can be charged three or four times higher in a wedding catering.. sometimes even with lower quality. A simple dress or 'kebaya' tailored with a slight complexity for the bride may cost millions just because of the 'bride' tag in the dress.. The photographer's fee may be twice as much as a regular event.
Sometimes i just wanna hide and get married quietly without all the big hush hush and all those money spent to entertain hundreds of people i hardly know..
