The Editor have not gone to the birds yet... for now.
I am referring to the special report on SGeans couples flocking over across to the causeway to take up the generous spread of cheap offers of bridal packages.
Yes, it is well-known that SGeans flock over for many cheap thrills in Johor. Food, seafood, shopping, bootleg DVDs etc etc
A bridal package in Johor would only cost you RM 3,888 ( SGD 1,743 @ 2.23 exchange rate), however in SG, the similiar package would set a hole in your pocket by SGD 3,388 (RM 7555) *whistles*
Besides having an outdoor shoot with the whole entourage of cameramen, makeup artist etc and a distinctly different setting, the couple would be beaming with pride that they got a better offer, rather then be seen in the same backdrop of the Merlion, Sentosa and the usual hotspots of shots in SG *yawnz*
Desaru, Kuching, Pangkor... are but some of the places these couples opt to head for. To tie it in as a pre-honeymoon concept, it is not a bad idea afterall.
Back home, critics lambast that the stores across are using off-the rack gowns where-else they provide niche high-class quality gowns that often come with a rocket-high pricetag attached.
So the summary is that no matter how inexpensive the package might be, it is the service that counts eventually.
From personal experience with shops in Johor, I have more friendly sales staff who remember me after a long absence. Further more, it is the COUPLE who is paying the bills, so long they feel satisfied with the service they are getting, who cares?!
Why end up with a hefty bill to pay after the whirlwind dramatic display for people not really involved in the marriage of two?
This is your Editor, signing off for today on a lazy sunday. Till next time.
