Iris is getting married on the coming July with her boyfriend who has been dating her for over 9 years. Just like the other girls, she wants to get married with her dream on building a new family with her beloved one.
Despite the high cost of wedding in the commercial city like Hong Kong, they are willing to spend their savings on the expenditure which are necessary for wedding day.
They are expecting to spend more than $200000 for the wedding, on goods which only last for one day, including the church and dinning dishes booking, also on other services for the couple themselves and guests.
“Once in a lifetime” means a lot to girls in their wedding, things that seem to be needed in creating a remarkable wedding experience, different goods and services that attract the marry couples in desire of consumption…
Money is a huge problem which bothers Iris so much while she wants a perfect wedding in this big event of life.
They have been preparing the wedding for more than one year till present time, but many things are still not settled yet.
Iris found that the preparation of wedding harsh, but at the same time it is a chance for both of them to solve big problems together, to practice for their marriage.
Stepping into marriage makes Iris a feeling of being grown up. She hopes to create a new home for her boyfriend and herself, to be a good wife in the future.
Your work definitely makes any girls including me feeling very happy. A very refreshing topic, well done!
A piece of nice work Leanne! I like the diversity of places that you took photos from. It seems that you followed Iris for many days and tried to be with her in her wedding planning progress. And good choice of the soundbites as they are the words from the heart of Iris and many ladies in Hong Kong.
moral of the story: think thrice before you get married. 三思而後行.
Interesting topic! I like what she says about weddings being commercialized- can’t believe she’s already spent 200,000HKD!
Looks pretty sweet and nice. But maybe the title is not… that appropriate, at least for what I’ve seen, another headline may go better. But it’s still quite good though.
Getting married is so expensive here in hk. Think twice boys and girls!
