kuttyedathi <EOT> dear jyothish , always happy to find another kuttyedathi fan 🙂 but a remake ? i think i will pass . thanks so much for writing in . . cinematters

cine mattersjee . . you wont find a better print of kuttyedathi in any part of this world… doordarsan has got better audio and video clarity prints of almost all black and white films . . ( pani theeratha veedu , azhakulla salena , etc rare exceptions ) and their print of kuttyedathi is also much similar to the one available in market

a role that seems to have been tailor - made for p santha devi – as the mother of vasu and kuttyedathi’s aunt . she is the island of refuge for kuttyedathi when she gets the short end of the stick from her mother always , and is genuinely concerned about her future , longing to see her married off and living a normal , content life like everyone else . she is also the tired and affectionate mother to a precocious lad like vasu and beautifully balances both throughout the movie . but it her love for kuttyedathi , her favorite niece that shines through the movie .

mt vasudevan nair ‘s script of kuttyedathi is written from the reminisces of a grown - up appu who returns to the village and as he revisits his now dilapidated and decayed home and the environs around it , remembers kuttyedathi who was the strongest singular influence in his life . the movie is written as a memoir , seen entirely through his eyes . master sathyajith is pretty on even - keel for an actor of his age , playing the bubbly , ‘without - a - acre’ , precocious lad who adores his kuttyedathi and is by her side for every single ‘misdemeanor and conspiracy . ’ i believe he left the business of films after a handful – ummachu ( 1971 ) , theerthayathra ( 1972 ) , achani ( 1973 ) in a period of 3 years . watching him , one is easily transported to our own childhood , and an elder sister who at times , was our own kuttyedathi .

dweepu is a 1977 indian malayalam film , directed ramu kariat . the film stars jose , shobha , kuttyedathi vilasini and alleppey ashraf in lead roles . the film had musical score by ms baburaj . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

from his debut in bharagavinilayam in 1964 , to kuttyedathi in 1971 , this was one of the surprisingly small - but - sturdy roles that came his way before the ‘commercial demands’ of the mainstream malayalam productions took over and carried him in a different direction . kuttishankaran is the high - caste nimcompoop who has his eyes on kuttyedathi but is also mortally scared to solicit her for sexual favors ( as had been wont in those days from what i have gathered – you are high - caste , and hence have power and any village girl is for you for the asking ) . there is the memorable scene where kuttishankaran goes a little too far with his ‘teasing’ kuttyedathi who incidentally is perched atop the mango tree , stealing a bunch , when she comes down , warms up to him , and gives a resounding one on his cheek !

dear gopalji , when it comes to ‘quality’ of old films available , i have set my expectations at zero , so that anything above that is an added bonus for me 🙂 i am in the process of organising and getting a high - end home studio suite and once done intend to take each one and restore them to the best of my abilities , frame by frame , working on the audio and the frames . and kuttyedathi is right on top of my list 🙂 regards . . cinematters

wow ! that was some fascinating trivia . thank you for being around . i am all ears for more . ‘economy’ has always been mt’s operative word in any project that he has been directly involved in – not the big budget capers like pazhassiraja , but the ones from his early years , specially when he is the director for the project . with kuttyedathi , i guess it must have been one close to his heart and the being the early years , he would have involved himself in a much greater degree than now . thanks so much for bringing it here . regards . . cinematters

has kerala’s media forgotten her ? philomina belongs to that special category of actors ( who were once the silent majority ) – veterans of malayalam theater who where perfect chameleons in slipping into the roles the played , and who perfectly understood the difference in the medium and beautifully utized its advantages and respected its disadvantages . philomina plays the valiyamma , the elder one in the family , and mother to kuttyedathi and janu . her pain about the general poverty and the grinding mill of life she is hitched to , plus the bitterness in coping with the ‘waywardness’ of her daughter that makes her explode often is a treat to watch . one of those actors that make you forget time . coming from the theater ‘kalari’ of the legendary pj antony , should it be a surprise ?

i think this is the only movie this was one of his couple of brief screen appearances the director jay cee did , before he took to direction . and am pretty much sure that this is the director jay cee ( seen around in print as jeassy , jayssey and other variations – jay cee is mine 🙂 – i’m sure he was riding on his name initials ) . anyways , jay cee plays the ‘young man’ who moves into the staid neighborhood of kuttyedathi and pretty soon , things go topsy - turvy . the enigmatic young man becomes the bone of contention between the sisters in not - so - expressed words but in moments that make up for them . he turns out out to be one who doesn’t care beyond moments of pleasure , leading to one of the most wonderful moments in the movie between the sisters .

meanwhile janu gets ‘very , very close’ with the new neighbor but keeps it a secret from everyone , including kuttyedathi . the latter , meanwhile chances upon them , but janu is defiant and unrepentant and even berates her for her act . it acts as a catalyst in her scheme of things to ‘prove herself’ , also realising for the first time that appunni would be the only refuge in her turbulent life . she would do the unthinkable very soon , shocking the village , as she sets herself in the direction of appunni’s hut on the top of the hill . janu , meanwhile is devastated as her paramour advises her to agree to the pending marriage proposal as he wouldn’t be able to marry her for personal reasons . and the evening bears witness to shocking events , culminating with the final act at early dawn . for what transpired , you would have to watch the movie .

dear bgs , great to hear from a true - blue valluvanadan 🙂 mt , i feel at times was the badshah of bitterness , in print or on screen , and hence that cow - dung scene was a surprise . you almost sighed with relief and thanked him , for giving you a break from the bitterness , albeit for a short bit . also would love to know of the movies sp pillai and kuthiravattam pappu have come together . just curious . philomena was a legend , and vilasini has mentioned in one of her interviews how philomena ( who was a quite popular and bankable star actor in theater from the malabar circuit ) went out of the way professionally and personally to help her grow as an actor . kuttyedathi as a naxalite – what a wonderful idea , quite plausible too . : d ( mt gave that in panchagni , though in tad subtle tones , didn’t he ? ) . thanks . . cinematters

her aunt – little vasu’s mother ( p shantha devi in one of the best roles in her entire career ) is her refuge when all hell breaks loose , the one who genuinely wants this lass to ‘succeed’ . disgusted and tired at the way things are happening at her ‘social acceptance’ front , she zeroes in the most probable factor that contributes largely to her ‘rejections’ – the wart on the nape of her neck that almost generates revulsion , or so she feels . and she decides to remove that once and for all with a kitchen knife and some self - surgery on a drowsy afternoon . a blood bath , horrible pain and a prominent scar are the favorable results of the surgery . the last last entourage that comes in to meet kuttyedathi , on seeing janu wants the proposal to be finalised with her as the bride and returns . the family is thrown in a quandary . you just cannot marry away the younger one with the elder one staying bachelor ! it was just not right .

if you take the 5 best roles ever portrayed on screen by sp pillai , i would include this with absolute confidence . the thespian dazzles as the sad , forlorn , duty bound by birth and pauper beyond description , it was a very difficult proposition to successfully translate on screen . but sp pillai did a beautiful job . one moment he is the matriarchal power center of the family , getting prospective grooms for kuttyedathi , managing the proceedings , and at the end begs when it time to leave , literally begs for a rupee from his sister to get back to his place ! one of the few instances where sp pillai got an opportunity to show you the fine actor that lay behind that ‘industrial comedy’ clown - face . there was also this delightful interplay between sp pillai and kuthiravattam pappu ( the meeting of two legends onscreen ) , where the former being swindled once of his cash by the latter , employs the same modus operandi to give it back to him a hundred fold – the cowdung routine . one of the rare instances where mt’s sense of humor shines through , mischievously .

she has a daily reminder to gauge providence’s generosity in feminine beauty , in the form of her younger sister janu ( jayabharathy in a brilliant role ) at home , who takes kuttyedathi for granted in the domestic responsibilities { “hey , she knows to do it , so let her do it – goes janu’s refrain } . her best friend is vasu ( master sathyajith ) , her young cousin who is her number one fan , conscience keeper , lieutenant , friend and brother - in - arms in every unorthodox ‘mission’ undertaken between them . being the eldest of the two , its kuttyedethi who has to be married off first in the traditional social scheme of things and their maternal uncle , ( sp pillai in a moving , tragi - comic role ) who gets the suitors from across the countryside to the house for the prospective groom to meet her so that a possible alliance could be worked on . but , every one of them end up liking the younger janu who always makes it a point to be ‘seen’ by them , mostly as a means of re - affirming her vanity about being the only sunshine - beauty spot of the dreary household .

– you can almost recall one from where the place you came from , regardless of which part of kerala you hail from , and yet , every single one has an indefinable , distinct identity . there is also one interesting fact that i noticed with the movie –

– cameo or a leading , they ensured the characters came alive on screen for you . it was almost as if the character was destined to be there , at that part of our protagonist’s life to make events happen . { crazy , i know , but then again , its just my perspective 🙂 } .

vilasini had mentioned in an interview about how almost - impossible it was to raise her hand against pappuchettan ( as he had been a veteran of the kozhikode theater circuit and vilasini was at that time , an upcoming and respected actress in theater and held him in awe ) . it was pappu who almost screamed at her to give her ‘best shot’ , and on the final take , it sent kuthiravattam pappu reeling ! there is another memorable scene where the thespian sp pillai , her maternal uncle takes sweet revenge on kuthiravattam pappu for having swindled him once in a brilliant reversal ! as always , it is a delight to watch kuthiravattam pappu , then , now and am sure , forever .

, though sadly he hardly had any words to say . the script that only mentions the ‘collective face’ of the village that seeks vengeance ( and wants to restore the ‘social order’ ) on the defiant appunni (

. he is the one who literally takes justice in his own hands to restore social sanity in the village , shaken by this ‘wayward , unorthodox love - affair . his ease and absolute confidence is evident even in this short ‘nameless role’ and a sign of brilliant roles to come . thank god , we got to see it in around 300 - odd movies and the one in

and if you haven’t watched it by now , do yourself a favor this sunday , and watch it . i guarantee it will be worth it .

thanks to you too , divyalakshmi . hope to see more of you around here . cinematters

great movie . saw it some 25 years ago and still remembers the scences and dialogues . worth a remake by capable director .

this was quite a nostalgic journey through the film realms of mt , thank you . i have been reading mt’s screen plays recently , not as a whole , but here and there and cannot help but marvel at his sketches…touching his feet here…

hi , mt’s screenplays are a treat in itself . . even in his early years , his firm grasp on the technical aspects of composing each scene is admirable , and one never feels that it is a screenplay that you have opened in your lap . thanks . . cm

no signs of climax here as well 🙂 just remembered a book on sathyan anthikad’s usual gang while reading about philomina . the book is called sathyan anthikadinte grameenar and has good anecdotes on sankaradi , mamukoya , oduvil , philomina etc

lol ! i am sure by now , you ‘know’ your way around here . thanks again for coming around . yes , i do have the book , and its a must for anyone who loves sathyan’s brand of music , and with it i mean simple pleasures of life and simple lives . though , there is this lil question that nags off late as to whether he has become a prisoner of his own making . . regards . . cm

thank you for this , omc . another classic from mt rises from the dust of obscurity vis - a - vis the new - gen . most of all , if we have missed this one , we certainly do want to watch it . in a way , nothing speaks truer than nostalgia and it always , without doubt , evokes that sense of belonging . and here , that sense of belonging is reinforced by this very informative take on what is one of the greatest movies in malayalam .

hi soni , welcome back 🙂 the purpose of writing this was the fact that i never felt fully satisfied just giving a brief synopsis of the movie and leaving it at that . this movie deserved more , and this is not even anywhere close to it . if this helped someone take the effort of watching this movie , i’m happy . taking furthur on what you mentioned , sadly nostalgia and obscurity seem to be in a live - in relationship , atleast when it comes to old malayalam movie actors and actresses…regards . . cinematters

( kutty , the elder sister ) created something of a revolution in popular film viewing when it was released in 1971 . there wasn’t anything quite like it that the malayalam movie fraternity had ever witnessed on screen . directed by

) , the part - tomboy , part - introvert , with a tongue that could slice through steel and a defiance to meaningless tradition , that almost bordered on arrogance , and beneath all , she still craved a growing woman’s simple pleasures of life .

she couldn’t throw a coquettish glance at a man in the village , her simmering rage mostly took matters into its own hand beforehand , and she lived through this everyday - act of defiance , knowing that , when it came to beauty , providence had been really , really unkind . her defiance was a sort of psychological compensation to mask away the pain of her lack of beauty . of her obsessed masochistic rebels of the village , the most prominent one is kuttishankaran (

) who would go on to play a very important part in the turn of events in her life .

with each prospective alliance ending on auto - destruct , the frustration , sadness , desperation most of the times snowball themselves into kuttyedethi getting the short end of the stick for the slightest misdemeanor . and with her , they are a - plenty . kuttyedethi ‘s mind is a now a volatile cocktail , with new and unknown chemicals being added into the mix , mixed with the absolute lack of self - worth in her physical beauty , she mind is on an “over - eagerness - to - please ” mode with the next man she meets . she very cleverly masks this with her tomboyish attitude and her devil - may - care reactions .

kutteydethi , also has an interesting , almost undefinable love - hate relationship with appunni ( sathyan ) , low - caste , defiant , brash and genuinely besotted by kuttyedethi , and has mastered this marvelous way to flirt with her , always ready with a mischievous retort – its as if kuttyedethi has met her match in appunni . things take an interesting turn as a new tenant moves in to the neighboring house , with an “eye on the unspoilt beauty” of the verdant village . appunni is a stone - cutter by profession and lives alone at the top of a hill , and also makes the most imposing and majestic wooden horses for the village temple feast ( a ritualistic requirement ) . anyone who has been at the wrong side of his tongue keep it unforgettable and unforgiven for their entire lives . and it has also made him more enemies than friends in the village .

so , is there a dvd / vcd of the movie available ? yes , in vcd format , thanks to highness videos . what about the quality ? crappy with a neon flashing c !

m t vasudevan nair badly wanted sathyan master in this film . . but neither m t nor others dare to go near sathyan and ask his dates for this film simply because sathyan was not the hero of that film and in the end his character was physically beaten and hurt by balan k nair… moreover they feared that sathyan master might ask heavy amount as remuneration and the makers wanted to complete this film on minimal budget . . but m t had decided very much earlier to include sathyan at any cost and later somehow they approached sathyan master and after reading the script sathyan master’s reaction was like this…

“oh ! ! ee vesham eniyykke cherukayullu . . karuthu thadicha maramvettu kaaran ennalle m t ezhuthiyiriykkunnathu . . athukondu enikkulla make - up ozhivaakki kure kaasum producerku laabhickam”

it was the first noticed movie of balan k nair , who earlier used as dupe for many other heroes of bollywood and tamil . .

dear jay , the very same who sadly ended his life years later , something that tore apart p santhadevi’s life . she mentioned in one of her last interviews that she would carry the grief and pain of that incident to her grave . . cinematters

what a wonderful write - up . vilasini chechi used to be our neighbor for the short time we were in trivandrum ( my dad was on a job deputation ) . she had the same streak of independence , a strong sense of fair and right and had a generous heart . i guess it was all these that also led to many sad situtations later in her personal life , from what i could read in the press . thank you for bringing back those memories . hats off to you !

dear rajesh , i will not be imdb’d into submission 😀 . it is a wonderful movie that needs to be viewed and experienced . i could be the proverbial disgruntled - with - the - tip - usher and send you the ending by mail . what say ? no , i would rather not . . regards , cm

kummatty arrives like the seasons . he represents spring . kummatty is a part of nature .

the film is a pied–piper - like figment of malabar’s folklore about a partly mythic and partly real magician called kummatty . kummatty travels from place to place and entertains children with dancing , singing and performing magic . at one such performance at a village , kummatty starts to mingle with and weave a spell of carefree abandon around the children of the village . he turns a group of children into animals . but one boy , who was changed into a dog , is chased away and misses the moment kummatty changed the children back to their human form . the dog - boy has to wait a year until kummatty returns to the village to get back his human form .

the film ' s intense engagement with landscape is such that all its myths and realities , its people and their intrinsic music appear materially sprung from those vast , expansive spaces . there is simply nothing like it .

incorporating large measures of animism cut with malabar village folk tales and south indian scripture , govindan aravindam has created an alternate world of rural india . kummatty the seer , magician , spell - weaver , bogeyman arrives and camps under a huge tree . in time he becomes attractive to a country village ' s children and soon leads them in dulcet summer days of song and dance through the fields , teaching something akin to a giddy mindfulness of what nature offers both in joy and sorrow . it ' s a fantasy which includes infectious singing ( music by m . g . radhakrishnan and kavalam narayana panicker ) that any culture can understand in its marrow . i ' ve read that govindan aravindam , the bogeyman ' s director and master of malayali film , considered this his favorite of the many titles he created . a malayalam classic .

parallel cinema , goes deep into pre - industrial folk culture . grown - ups work , children play , a landscape exists , magic happens .

it ' s only funny until someone gets turned into a dog or it ' s not nice to fool mother nature .

aravindan is an absolute genius . he can devastate you while feeding you sweets .

what a lovely little film this turned out to be ! seeped in the rustic goodness of a malayali village and the charmed music from god ' s own country , this mythical tale was a breath of fresh air . dotted with songs that will have you humming along , the film follows a gang of children and their fate when an old man turns up in their village , and is labelled as kummatty , or the bogeyman .

the film stays honest to its setting - somehow managing to weave the peace and simplicity of the village into its characters , into its dialogue , and into its fluid song sequences . the relationship between the young and the old is beautifully captured , and when the film comes a…

an indian movie which was just as flawless and masterfully directed as ridley scott ' s alien , alfred hitchcock ' s psycho and stanley kubrick ' s 2001 : a space odyssey . from the breathtaking cinematography , to the masterful editing , to the exceptional performances , writing and characterization , every technical aspect of the movie was of top notch quality . the whole story was told through visual storytelling . there wasn ' t a single exposition scene in the movie . nothing was dumbed down for the viewers . hence its especially a must watch for those who hate spoon feeding . govindan aravindam is a true master and kummatty ( the bogeyman ) is his masterpiece .

i have listened to and liked the malayalam folk song ' karukare karmugil ' earlier . this movie made that song much more memorable .

kummatty is a children ' s musical in one sense , but a fair assessment would be it is a supernatural story . how such a film can be filled with realistic details of a small town and its people in kerala is aravindan ' s art .

one minor flaw in this beautiful movie , which i found hard to reconcile with the rest of the movie , is that there is no lip sync for the songs of the kids , and that these songs were over prolonged periods of the day .

this list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this…

chloe patton , megan salmon ferrari , mia boardman , and naomi konickova are bringing the babies and the english accents to the teen mom franchise with a uk version of the show that mtv is referring to as teen mum . get to know the new girls and their babies .

naomi has a little girl named kyanna , who she calls kya . this girl became a mother at 17 and she works as a makeup artist . she’s a bit reserved and a proud feminist , who wants to succeed and not fall prey to teen mom statistics . naomi konickova said that when she and her baby daddy raphael poitou revealed to her mother that she was pregnant , her mom took off her shoe and hit them both with it . the show has already aired in the uk and in gearing up for a second season , konickova apparently decided to take a step back from the spotlight , telling mtv uk :

i wanted to take a break from teen mom uk series two because i really feel like i need to focus on my career and really try to build a future for kyanna … i would so come back for another series , i’d love to . i’ve got so much of my life to share and you definitely haven’t seen the last of me .

megan has a baby named mckenzie and she became a parent at age 17 , along with her baby’s father dylan . this season on the show , the young mum has a lot on her plate and is filled with emotions . when she became pregnant , she became more independent and decided to move into a caravan with her new baby . but , motherhood isn’t the only issue she faces on the show . in a clip from the show , megan asks her ex dylan how he could sleep with her best friend and then ask her to marry her ? in november 2016 , the sun reported that megan was pregnant with her second child and the father is believed to be ex dylan . megan’s mother sonia has weighed in on her daughter’s lifestyle and said that :

she’s on benefits , and that is not something i never wanted for her . all this breaks my heart . i wanted better for her .

mia is a mother - to - be and is currently pregnant on the show . clearly , she has given birth because mtv uk has a photo of her and daughter marliya on their site . mia is said to be very upbeat on the show and wanted to be a singer before she became a mother at 19 years old . she’s involved in some unconventional family dynamics this season and she also “deals with” her boyfriend manley’s daughter from a previous relationship .

chloe’s man in her life is her baby boy marley and the baby’s father is named jordan . she became a mum at just 17 years old and her bio on mtv uk reads :

chloe and boyfriend jordan admit they didn’t plan on starting a family so young , but the pair are navigating the journey of teen parenthood together . but it’s not all plain sailing for this young couple as chloe shares her story of overcoming the baby blues on the show , as well as maintaining relationships with friends and family . before becoming a mum , chloe wanted to be an actress – but her aspirations have been put on hold to raise little marley .

though chloe loves her son , she has admitted that she wishes she had waited to become a mother .

previously , a girl named amber butler and her baby brooklyn were reported to be cast members on the show , but they are not shown in the usa tv show’s trailer , so we are guessing that they were cut from the cast . in footage and promotional photos , we have seen butler featured as a major player on the show in the uk .

i not stupid ( chinese : 小孩不笨 ; pinyin : xiǎohái bù bèn ; literally : " children are not stupid " ) is a 2002 singaporean comedy film about the lives , struggles , and adventures of three primary 6 pupils who are placed in the academically inferior em3 stream .

written and directed by jack neo , and produced by mediacorp raintree pictures , the movie stars xiang yun , richard low , selena tan , shawn lee , huang po ju and joshua ang .

released in cinemas on 9 february 2002 , i not stupid earned over s$ 3.8 million , becoming the second-highest grossing singaporean film .

its satirical criticism of the singaporean education system and social attitudes in singapore sparked public discussions and parliamentary debates that led to reforms in the education system .

its sequel , i not stupid too , was released in 2006 .

i not stupid

i not stupid <EOT> meaning of title whilst " i not stupid " is certainly not great english , the chinese title actually means " kids are not stupid " which is basically the whole theme of the movie . basically .

not stupid and over 2 million other books are available for amazon kindle . learn more

yes , i not stupid is a highly impactful landmark local film . it also contributed to the subsequent improvements and refinements in our education system .

with equal amounts of comedy and heartfelt emotion , jack neo ' s i not stupid succeeds as a biting social satire of the highly competitive singaporean culture .

i’m not inviting anyone who is going to judge me for not having spent a years wages on one day .

i not stupid became the second highest - grossing film in singapore box office history . the number one film is money no enough , also written by jack neo .

as other people have said , this is not true for all weddings . i know i have not had all of these thoughts when attending a wedding .

i want to celebrate with all of our family who could not make it .

2 . and i am actually skipping wedding favours . i have thrown away most of the wedding favours that i have been given at the weddings that i have gone to ( including some chocolates because i do not eat them ) . i also do not like to sign wedding guestbooks . i think some attendees have the bad habit of just signing off their name ( which are not legible ) .

on last week tonight , john oliver slammed president trump for doing exactly that . by falsely suggesting that he had recorded comey , trump had likely committed " witness tampering , " an act that oliver called not just " stupid , " " but extraordinarily stupid . "

recently , i was asked which singapore film would i rank as the most significant , the kind of landmark movie that paved the way for change and helped create the semblance of an industry we have today . i did not hesitate in giving an answer . ‘i not stupid’ . yes , it is , on so many levels and in so many ways . why would i say so ? and in such a resounding manner . before ‘i not stupid’ , a foreigner would not have a reference to a singapore film . after ‘i not stupid’ , there was a brand of singapore film we could speak of , both to ourselves and to people beyond our shores . this was the movie that proved beyond any doubt jack neo was no flash in the pan . because he went on to be a prolific director , this ‘the jack neo comedy’ became an exceptionally viable genre , reflecting a maturing society laughing at singaporeans and with singaporeans . ‘i not stupid’ was also the singapore film that took political satire to a whole new level .

the follow - up to the popular singaporean film , i not stupid , deals with the struggles of children and teenagers growing up in a modern society that clashes with the ones of previous generations .

it is saying the guests will not care about those things , not that they don’t matter .

reflecting on ‘i not stupid’ after all these years , jack said , “comedians are usually not taken seriously . i wrap a serious issue with comedy . it gets more people to pay attention to it . being a critic in a critically acclaimed movie is the best way to make a difference . ”

when asked about the origin of species and the theory of natural selection , thomas henry huxley told friends , " how extremely stupid not to have thought of that " .

reputation : sheep are stupid , defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much . they are good for two things : being eaten and producing wool .

15 . more voices i ' m not the only one talking about this anymore , thankfully .

so for all to behold , 4k tvs are no longer stupid , and here ' s why ( i . e . read that article first before you comment ) .

, a programme i’ve never watched in my life . yet i am totally trivial , in almost all my interests . though i do like to think i am seriously trivial .

i disagree on points 1 - 10 . i know many people who enjoy all the details of a wedding . pretty invites , cakes , dresses . i know i do .

yeah i also have to call bs on this list . i just had my wedding and i will list in order the items i was most complimented on by the guests :

i will amend my previous post to add though that your wedding need not be an extravagant affair .

“oh , dear , i am sorry . did the person serving you not take your voucher ? ”

i don ' t like the word stupid in the title . it is disrespectful to people with mental impairment and suggests a view that autism is a more prestigious form of abnormality .

i like to see an ex - footballer doing well , but i don’t wish him luck at hsbc . i now hate that bank .

i ' m sorry , but this is just incredibly stupid and incredibly forced . right now the stark kids should be working together . arya should be doing something besides just standing around .

literally means " kids are not stupid ! " , a movie set in singapore depicting the lives of 3 children , their problems in the grades - orientated society and the crisis their parents face .

“no . i mean , i’m sure they’d have said something if that was the case . anyway , olga seems like such a sensible girl ; i’m sure she’s not the type to do that . ”

omg… . . could not agree more . plan your weddings according to this list ladies , not according to average amounts spent

if you are looking for inspiration , consider sternberg . as a child at elementary school , he flunked an iq test and generally failed to impress academically . “all my teachers thought i was stupid – and i thought i was stupid . ” he might have bombed out of school , had he not later found a mentor who realised there was more to smart thinking than abstract problems , and encouraged him to train his mind more broadly . thanks to that support , he is now a professor at cornell .

i have to agree with this when attending weddings these lists are accurate… however i’m trying to remember these tips as i plan my own right now… hard not to get caught up on the little things on details .

matt said " alright , we ' ll each give a word and that will be the name of our company " and i said " this is stupid " and he said " and i like monkeys . so then , it became matt doing his best monkey impersonation , while i chastise him for being so stupid , and we spent several seasons of our show with artist adam talbot doing an original " stoopid monkey " animation for every episode .

plucky britons are currently ignoring decades of advice about what to do in a heatwave . so what stupid things have you decided it’s ok to do ?

i just found out if the wedding guests do not care about some of it . but if we decorate our wedding with something that is not special , it will be a joke for all the friends who come . i think everything you’re talking about is what the wedding party guests see . come on , do not talk about stupid things because it’s a wedding party . everyone wants to make the party perfect and unforgettable . - stateofdreaming . nl

most of the actors in i not stupid are veterans in acting , and although none of them offer spectacular performances , there is nothing much to nitpick at . its the three main child actors that surprise  despite their inexperience , their performances are suitably realistic ( they are , after all , probably playing themselves ) . the film offers its fair share of funny moments  take , for example , the incredibly bad barbecued pork advertising campaign created by a caucasian  but is at times hampered by overt melodrama . the other barbecued pork campaign in the movie is a gem , however , and i can actually envision the campaign working in real life . i not stupid is , as its title suggests , not a stupid movie , and it will hopefully bring the local movie industry back on track following years of disappointing releases .

as someone with alcoholics for in - laws , i made sure there was not a drop of booze at my wedding – a decade later , not a soul cares . thumbs down .

i don’t care about the ceremony . i skip attending when i can . they can be really sappy and embarrassing . also , not a churchy type so much of the god part is lost on me . ceremony goes to the top of the list of things i wish were not part of the whole wedding celebration . keep it to family only .

whether or not you like böhmermann ' s music , the parody will make you laugh . odds are , you might even agree with how germany does things for we have , indeed , " once been stupid , too . "

‘i not stupid’ started the signature ‘jack neo laugh and cry’ phenomenon . he literally makes you laugh one minute , then cry in the next , before making you laugh out loud again . and there are some parts he will make you laugh till you tear . ultimately , ‘i not stupid’ is still the number one singapore movie to me because , although some may think it could be more filmic , it has some of the most real moments on our cinematic screen . it calls to mind the hong kong movies by the hui brothers in the 1980s and the early feng xiaogang movies . these movies mirrored a slice of real life in the cities they were set in . most of us know ‘i not stupid’ spawned a sequel which was equally successful . to me , it spawned a whole generation of wannabe jack neo movies , some not bad , mostly not good . jack himself would go on to produce and direct more gems , culminating in his record - breaking ‘ah boys to men’ .

i like to see an ex - footballer doing well , but i don’t wish mark tucker luck at hsbc .

4 . bouquet toss – honestly… i know exactly how the girls waiting for the bouquet toss and who do not get the bouquet feel . so , i will skip this too .

recently got engaged , and i already do not see the point of having programs or printed invitations when everyone has an email address . plus it saves the earth so why not ? ! and honestly , i’ve been to many weddings where they don’t give out programs and i didn’t notice until the wedding finished .

i not stupid is jack neos latest addition to the growing stable of local movies , and for anyone familiar to the local scene , its pretty justified to say that jack neo is ubiquitous in local movies . he had appeared in twelve storeys and one leg kicking , was the screenwriter for money no enough ( a phenomenal success ) , wrote and acted in liang po po : the movie , wrote and directed and acted in that one no enough you get my point . jack neo plays all three roles ( writing , directing , acting ) again in i not stupid , ostensibly a film about three primary school children who are struggling in their studies , but also a very thinly veiled satire on singapore politics . whilst containing quite a few gags , and chock - full of social commentary , i not stupid isnt a remarkable film , but it is a step in the right direction .

film critics and audiences have dubbed i not stupid an excellent commentary on the education system and government paternalism . the movie stars three school children who have been channelled into the undesirable em3 stream , and shows the trials and tribulation of these children and their parents . i not stupid has been described as a " coming of age movie " 1 for its rare ability to criticise the government and its policies and bring pertinent issues to light , so much so that many are surprised that it managed to get past the not - too - kind local board of censors . this presents us with an interesting question - with its explicit references to the government and its blatant criticisms of

i’m in the shit . i need an excuse , and quick , can you help ? yours , sir john chilcot

i’m planning my wedding now and found the point of this article to be very helpful . i have made it my goal not to stress at all…although , i know i will as it gets closer . my fiancee was the one who wanted a wedding…i would have been fine eloping . remember , it is about you and your new spouse…don’t sweat the small stuff . 🙂

i know what you’re thinking , < i > that’s a black guy riding a horse , not john wayne < / i > . you’re right . christina choe’s short film depicts a metaphorical version of the wild west , which happens to be brooklyn .

anna kennedy and her husband sean , live in london with their two autistic sons patrick and angelo . not stupid is the story of anna ' s determination to provide an appropriate learning environment for her sons and for other children within the autistic spectrum .

oohhhh ! ! the most fantastic asian movie i have ever seen . i not stupid was really good but i enjoyed the second one better . after i watched it , i rushed back home to watch the first one . i was amazed to see how young they all looked in the first movie . i especially enjoyed the parts of tom and chengcai . my sister went on a different day and she told me when joshua ang ( who plays chengccai ) took off his shirt , she and her friend screamed ! ! lolx . but it also has sad movies , and i cried almost a bucket of tears . . . . = ) ) i also laughed like hell when jerry thought he had made his friend pregnant ! ! but i could not enjoy it very much because the people behind me were so noisy ! ! grrrrrr . as a conclusion , i think this film is a must see for everyone in the world ! ! i also laughed when jerry tried to ask his brother where do babies come from ! ! enjoy the movie ! !

p . s . i really did love last night ' s episode except for this sub - plot and the stupid plan to capture a wight . check out my review here . also check out these three big reveals you may have missed .

i think people are getting awfully sensitive about this . some of it i think the writer phrased a little too harshly honestly . while yes , it’s true the wedding industry preys on couples i will say this , weddings are usually fun to go to and i’ll tell you right now from all the weddings i went to there are things on here i do an don’t remember .

i love this list . i work in the wedding industry and am planning my own wedding currently . i have attended weddings that were anywhere from half a million dollars to weddings that were five thousand dollars . i don’t remember what the dress looked like at either . i don’t remember what the favors were at either . i don’t remember what the flowers looked like at either .

of all the weddings i’ve ever been too . i remember 1 . the ceremony , i always shed a tear ! 2 . the food 3 . the party vibes . simple is best !

i will be thinking of you , please take care and if you need anything else please don ' t hesitate to write back in and i will help you in any way i can .

i agree with the list . times have changed . i’m not shocked at the negative comments . normally it comes from those that actually care about all the things that really don’t matter too much to the overall wedding guest . and i suggest people proof read before publishing their comments .

terrified , i pick up the room phone and try to dial reception . the phone is clearly broken or not connected , and i’m in too much of a state to work out what is going on . i fling some clothes on over my pyjamas and rush down to reception .

4 ) personally i hate the bouquet tosses . i feel like its just a mockery of single ladies out there . plus , since i love flowers i’d personally want to preserve my wedding bouquet somehow as opposed to tossing it to someone who is just gonna toss it anyway

singaporean writer - director - thesp jack neo capitalizes on the success of his 2002 laffer with " i not stupid too " an overdue - - and overlong - - sequel . proselytizing pic favors child protags over insular and stubborn adults , but loses its comedic rhythm as it rams each lesson home . pic did terrific local biz when released in january .

it’s my last night in a hotel in baltimore , and i’ll be getting up early the next morning to catch a flight , so i go to bed quite early , maybe nine pm . i’m dozing off and i hear some rattling , like someone’s trying to open my door . they can’t do it because they don’t have the right key , and anyway , i’ve put the safety latch on . the noise stops , and i assume they’ve spotted that they have the wrong room , or maybe i just imagined it because i was half asleep .

i don ' t know what to do . . . i love him a lot but feel stupid that i do . i know that none of my friend ' s boyfriends are like this , and i have never told any of them what he is like . they think he is a great guy and is really nice , because around everyone else he acts so sweet and kind , and usually is to me most of the time , but does frequently lose his temper and say and threaten nasty things to me almost every day . it usually only lasts a few minutes before he stops and then pretends it never happened . i don ' t know what to do because i don ' t want to leave him , but i know what he is doing isn ' t right . please advise me on what i should do .

another negative aspect ( but , as ive mentioned before when i watched one leg kicking , probably unavoidable ) of i not stupid is the product placements in the film . it is perfectly all right to have subtle product placements in a movie ( who doesnt need the cash ? ) , but to have characters blurt out the product names and have shots composed of nothing but a slow , loving pan of the products is another matter altogether . at the end of i not stupid , it is guaranteed that any audience member can tell you who the sponsors are  bee cheng hiang barbecued pork , pink dolphin calcium drink , and sunshine bread . this is product placement done to an illogical extreme , and can be pretty irksome . unfortunately , the movie industry in singapore still needs injections of cash from these vendors , so theres nothing much anyone can do about it .

1 . i love 4k it is my fault for trying to make a nuanced argument on the internet . i have a 102 - inch " tv " and sit 9 feet from it . i would love to have 4k . when i expand out to fill the full 10 - foot - wide 2 . 35 : 1 screen , i can see pixels with some projectors . i look forward to more 4k projectors . projectors are not tvs ; 4k tvs are a waste . this is because . . .

“three hours , ” louis - dreyfus said . “you know , i kept wondering if you were going to end it . i was afraid to leave . were you wondering if i was going to leave ? ”

some of these things i believe are for the bride herself like the type of dress she wants . i can tell you right now . i would want my dress to be special to me . unique that looks great on me that i won’t see the bride of the next wedding i go to wearing it or something similar to it . that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s gotta be a designer’s dress but i’ll tell you right now , almost every time i choose something to wear i almost always end up picking something expensive not because of the designer but for the actual design itself . but be honest if you are picking a regular plain strapless with a sash do you really need to get the designer one when you can easily pick an almost identical one from david’s bridal for a lot cheaper ? every wedding i’ve been to i’ve never known who made their bride’s dress , i only know whether or not she looked beautiful in it or like a stuffed sausage .

in the actual interview holt , though clearly shocked , repressed any contempt . there is already a grain of absurdity in holt’s strained stoicism . but snl has to show us “the truth” : if trump is stupid , comedy trump must be very obviously stupid , and a schoolmarm must tell him , “on everyone’s behalf : i can’t believe you’re president . ” the joke , in this case , is a wish your heart makes—the fluttering hope that everyone in the world recognizes and shares your problems .

you are you kidding ? people i know care about all of this . especially the favour bags . this is the dumbest list i’ve ever seen

“i’m sorry , you’re fading - hold on until i move into the front room , it’s the only place with a proper phone signal . ”

“i’m not going to spend the next hour making sure the motorcade arrives smoothly , ” iannucci said . “you’re only going to see it for a second . ”

“people whose big outward and ‘important’ lives are run on a very small and impaired set of inner resources . ” he went on , “that just really appeals to me comedically . . . . big people with small hearts . stupid people with high i . q . s . ”

ultimately it’s your wedding , pick something that makes you happy but set your budget and stick to it ! and don’t spend frivoulously on stuff that doesn’t matter that much to you . put the full money out on things you really want not stupid stuff like table cloths that people won’t notice anyway .

singaporean writer - director - thesp jack neo capitalizes on the success of his 2002 laffer , and its spin - off tube series , with “i not stupid too” an overdue — and overlong — sequel . proselytizing pic favors child protags over insular and stubborn adults , but loses its comedic rhythm as it rams each lesson home . like its predecessor , pic did [ … ]

so basically the guest don’t care about anything ? i don’t know about anyone else , but i cant help it when it comes to critiquing someone’s wedding . i care about everything ! this article is crazy to me .

the ‘extremely stupid’ quote is on page 170 . as the volume above makes clear , this is an extract from life and letters of charles darwin , volume 2 , pages 187 - 190 and 195 - 197 .

cast - character i took this list from urltoken and if you see any mistake as to the names ( frankly other than jack neo and some other actors , the rest is like strangers to me ) , do not e - mail me since i can ' t amend this review as this is not e - buzz .

i honestly don’t care if any of that matters to the guests . this sounds like it was written by someone who regrets spending a bunch of money on their wedding . what doesn’t matter is what the guests care about . a wedding isn’t about the guests . i try to keep my guests in mind however my dress , our cake , our first dance , ( not doing the bouquet toss because i’m going to keep my bouquet ) , the guestbook or whatever they’re signing in place of a book itself , the decorations are the bride and grooms personal preference and they don’t have to , need to , or should nix all or most or not choose to spend their money or time on the things they want . my dress is 1350 . i love it . regardless of whether or not i’m going to wear it again is not anyone else’s concern . a bride may wish she spent less money and had a simple wedding but nothing beats having hundreds of pictures of all of these moments that you cared about . favors are one thing , i’m doing them because i want to . not because i care if people want the favor or not .

i felt this was a good list . i’ve been married 25yrs and have since attended many weddings . most of the things on this list the guests don’t remember . i appreciate a nice invite and nowdays love the couples photo on them . it hangs on my frig until the date then sadly recycled . i also like reading a program but usually think people wasted money when they put them on high dollar paper , i will just recycle if it even makes it home with me . i’m not saying don’t do them just don’t spend high dollar . again very few people know the exact price of your dress unless you tell them . you can get many dresses that look awesome and don’t cost $ 10 , 000 . the only thing on the list i disagreed with was the first dance . although i may not remember every first dance in my head i do know that each one i’ve watched i was touched and it always makes me think of my first moments as a bride too . flowers — only your flow - erst knows the truth . again you can get beautiful flowers and not pay a fortune . i’ve never attended one without flowers though and i would notice that . you just expect flowers at a wedding . cake i’m sure i’ve eaten some very expensive wedding cake and didn’t know it . no one wants yucky cake but again not a place to spend a fortune for fancy extras . less is more , but all white is boring . linens — i do remember fancy linens — as a waste of money ! agree i don’t want to eat on burlap but some are going overboard . put that money into food and drinks and good music ! ! gifts for guests — why ? ? i don’t expect them , we didn’t do that years ago . a bowl of sweets at the table while we wait i’m good . please know i think make it your day but i agree really look into the extras and see where the money is better spent .

love this list . i too am not surprised by all the negative comments but as i plan my wedding all of these keep ringing true for me . . for example , i really don’t want to do a bouquet toss . i think they’re awkward and totally kill the dancing vibes . glad to have some reassurance that so many brides feel the same . ( plus why do i want to pay extra for a bouquet some guests will toss 2 weeks later ! ? )

i feel bad for you and for your relatives sitting around having shallow conversations about a day that to someone was so special . the money spent is not what it’s about and in the end absolutely has no indication on whether a relationship will last . honestly what is wrong with people . what a person , or their parents spent on their wedding would never ever affect the amount i spent on there gift , but that’s because i’m not cheap and i’m giving the gift for the right reason .

wayne rooney was too young at the time i did his book , just 19 , and rather hesitant and tongue - tied , so it was hard to get him to reflect on his life , but clearly he wasn’t stupid . with age and maturity and experience of leadership , he has greatly developed .

as another commented , " i not stupid " does have a tv movie oeuvre . it has slapsticky humor and comedy skit acting . but to this american , it gave me some insight into the psyche of the mind of the singaporean , at least the ethnic chinese . overall it is a funny movie . the best moment was the ad for the chinese bbq pork . laugh out loud hilarious !

i agree with this list with the caveat that some things , especially the first dance , are for the couple not the guests . i know that my first dance is boring , i don’t care . it’s about spending a calm sweet moment with your new spouse . invitations ? i may remember them but i toss it after the event . every couple / family is different so don’t take the internet as gospel , do what’s important to you and don’t worry about the other things !

i agree with ellen – the point is not that these things aren’t ‘important’ , it’s looking at the big picture – is the wedding about the ‘perfect day’ ( and they never are , which often adds to the fun ) or celebrating your commitment with those you love . if you have a very limited budget you can still be creative and have a beautiful wedding ! and call in favors to vendor friends to barter as gifts – win win . i try to remember this as i dress for a wedding , and i stress about how i look , my last look in the mirror , i smile big and say “remember , it’s not about me ! ”

i not stupid isnt exactly a complex tale , but the plot branches into so many different directions at once that no plot thread takes a central focus . kudos to jack neo for trying at least to tie up almost all the loose ends in the final reel . unfortunately , many a time it felt as though jack neo was channeling his own thoughts of the government through his characters , especially when the children in the movie start alluding to government policies and politics in general ( i counted at least three occurrences ) . nothing is sacred in i not stupid  everything , from the educational system , to the cpf scheme , to the new singapore shares , to the governments pre - election tactics , to foreign workers in singapore , to the colonial mentality of some singaporeans whilst some of these digs are pretty subtle , a large majority is blatant and in - your - face  selena tans character is particularly so . what could possibly be most shocking is that the singapore censors actually allowed this film through in the first place . although such subject matter makes the film immediately accessible to singaporeans , i not stupid falls into the same " trap " as those that came before it  that it is so steeped in local in - jokes that it has no portability across national boundaries .

“the ‘origin’ provided us with the working hypothesis we sought . moreover , it did the immense service of freeing us for ever from the dilemma – refuse to accept the creation hypothesis , and what have you to propose that can be accepted by any cautious reasoned ? in 1857 i had no answer ready , and i do not think that anyone else had . a year later we reproached ourselves with dullness for being perplexed with such an inquiry . my reflection , when i first made myself master of the central idea of the ‘origin’ was , ‘how extremely stupid not to have thought of that ! ’ i suppose that columbus’ companions said much the same when he made the egg stand on end . ” ( huxley 1887 : 2 : 197 )

i bought this book because i was inspired to hear of her story about starting her own school , as an ordinary person . i was fascinated to hear more about her experiences of living with autistic people and raising her children , and it really helped me to understand how difficult this must be at times . the book is well written , and her passion comes across on every page . i ' m glad i read it , and i think i will remember this story to encourage me to battle on when all the doors seem to be closed .

well i have to say that it was very true to life , things like that happen all the time in singapore ( so i really don ' t know why some people in singapore call it " creative " since it was lifted straight from life ) . this movie was set in a primary school , i ' m not sure which . i graduated from primary school 3 years ago , but being in a class with some em3 students , i have to admit that life for an em3 student was just seriously bad , when you have the misfortune of meeting people who judge you by your results . even though i was never in em3 , i could still feel for the kids portrayed in the movie because i ' ve seen it before in life , and some of the pressure was also felt by students in the em2 stream as well ( though not as much ) , which i was in .

i read the first point and disagreed so straight outta the blocks this article and i didn’t see eye to eye hahaha i actually do really care about the invitations . i like seeing how couples choose to represent themselves and their weddings from the very start . likewise the dress ! i have lost count how many weddings i’ve been to but i could tell you what each bride wore if you said their name . whereas i don’t think i need any favours or edible treats . i don’t want to eat sugared almonds or something else not that pleasant now , after your reception , or ever . the open bar too ? completely disagree with that one . i think it’s pretty sad if keeping the alcohol flowing is needed to keep people sparkling all night . i have never been to a reception where moderate alcohol consumption limited the celebrations , in fact the total opposite . bottom line ? the atmosphere you set is way more important and a glass or 2 of champers doesn’t have to be a bottle or 2 to keep guests happy if they’re really your friends !

' i’m a mitzvah ' is a strangely touching sendoff to a best friend .

if i could do it over again , the only thing i would change would be to spend less time with the photographer , and more with my guests .

wow ! i couldn’t disagree more ! ! ! while i understood what the writer was saying , i absolutely care about all of those things and pay attention to them . i really think most women do . the dress is the first thing i noticed , the flowers if they are not tasteful i noticed that as well . all of the little details is what makes a wedding absolutely gorgeous . so hopefully brides won’t listen to this because you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make these things look nice , but they really do make all the difference in the world .

i just have to comment after reading all the negative comments to this article . the point is that a wedding is not something to get incredibly stressed out about or spend $ 50 , 000 ! if someone honestly paid attention and judged me for “capitalizing every word on my invitation” as one commenter said - i do not want you at my wedding . i honestly cannot believe the amount of comments that basically say they go to weddings to judge every detail - and no doubt talk crap about their “friend” later on for not spending enough money .

a note ok , this is my very first , read very first review for dear spcnet . it ' s not that i am not going to post this review elsewhere but i feel since i have something to say about a movie made by my local compatriots ( singapore and malaysia , however estranged , are still long lost family in my opinion , we have our moments i guess ) , i guess i must do this fast . more so , i want the dubious honour of posting the first non - hk ( hong kong ) movie in this section . i can see the honours coming . but why i chose this movie as my first review in here is simple . nothing satisfies me more than the fact that a " locally " produced movie could be so much more better than everywhere else . of course " the eye " would be my second review since more so , there ' s our local girl in there .

“i had it down as this would be a half - hour ‘getting to know you , ’ ” iannucci said . “and i was expecting lots of people . ”

it ' s been a while since i ' ve seen the movie . overall , i thought that it was better than most movies to have come out of singapore . though the idea it sports is not entirely new , the film managed to entertain audiences with its high - paced singaporean humor . character development was quite ok i guess as i felt for the boy at the end . the acting was typical of a singaporean movie and unfortunately this failed to serve my taste . however , the movie did not put me to sleep and for that commendable achievement i have given it a rating of 6 / 10 .

ohhhh this made for an interesting read and i like that it’s controversial and causing a debate ! personally i disagree with points 1 - 10 not because of the items that have been listed but because i feel every couple know their guests best . as a guest i remember everything maybe this is because i’m in the wedding industry or maybe it’s just coz i’m into that kinda thing . yes , couples get married for themselves so they are married , but if you really don’t care about making your guests happy then why bother having any in the first place . plan the wedding of your dreams not the wants or expectations of others . good luck gorgeous brides - to - be and follow your heart !

we ' re not planning on guests bringing gifts - and will actually probably ask that they not to . we ' re not spending & dollar ; 25 / pp - probably more like & dollar ; 5 - 10 . . . it ' s the same as any party we do at the house . . . just for a special occassion and i ' ll have pictures about .

refer to my rating below , i feel it is justified . i could give this one full marks but there are some weaknesses , like the script of this movie whilst wonderful may be a bit too sugar coated towards the end . but hey , all ' s well will always what ? yep , have a happy ending ! and why not ? watch this movie and you ' ll smile . i do think jack neo has outdone himself , as this was even better than " money no enough " ( about men and money ) and , if i am not mistaken , " that one not enough " ( about men and infidelity ) .

so you literally hate everything about a wedding ? why do you even go ? for most brides , all of the things you mentioned are important . i am planning my wedding right now , and i can’t imagine not having any of the things you said guests hate . i don’t know what guests you are talking to . the guest book is something for the bride and groom to go back and look at , in the years to come . its not for the guests anyways ! i have asked many people what 2 things do you look forward to seeing at the wedding , and most people i have asked said the cake and the dress . this is literally the worst article i have ever read about weddings .

this list is spot on . i know when i’ve gone to weddings , all the items on this list are things i could care less about ! sorry , don’t remember the dress , centerpieces , flowers , or invitations . all i remember is if i had a good time . i’m currently planning my own wedding , and the one piece of advice i’ve heard from other married couples is no one cares about the little stuff , so don’t sweat it ! you can still have a fabulous wedding that guests will talk about without breaking your back over minute details that no one will miss or notice . thank you so much for this list ! it reaffirmed what i was already thinking 🙂

i think a good portion of this is very true . i have seen too much time , money and stress spent on things that do not matter at the end of wedding . guests remember a sweet ceremony , great dinner , free drinks and a rocking d . j .

i ' m not wearing my dress , but will probably get some sort of white sundress or something more casual and wear my wedding shoes . i can totally see myself walking around my house in my tiara . . . but that has nothing to do with the wedding .

i’m so glad i read this list ! the biggest take away , here , was what was mentioned about invitations . i’m having a destination wedding in mexico and am about to crack down on ordering my invitations . i’ve been pretty set on doing a passport style invite , but they’re definitely spendier & i think it’d be smarter to save some some of that money for other expenses . thank you for opening my eyes ! ! !

you are not to blame in any way , and you definitely do not deserve to be treated in this way ever . you deserve so much more than that . you deserve to be treated with kindness , and respect , and gentleness . love is not abusive , love does not speak to you the way he does , love does not strangle you ( however briefly ) or raise his hands to you ( even if he doesn ' t hit you , ) love doesn ' t speak to you in a hurtful way .

i agree with you… i am planning my wedding now…and when i get invites to weddings i think about there’s . questions arise and i think “did i really care how fancy the invitation was ? ” or “the flowers were pretty but must have cost a fortune to throw away . ” i want to get flowers that guests can take home if they want and rent decor unless its gonna be a keep safe i will make… i can make my wedding beautiful without breaking my self and acting like a lunatic when something goes wrong . . and it will but i will make the best of it . . i feel ppl who like to spend daddys money ( which he will get a large loan for and pay till your divorced , then another loan to pay for that ) or their rich fiances money ( in other words means you lime his picket book more if he pays for it ) is one who will get the ice sculptures and the $ 600 invites with 500 friends… i mean really ? who associates with 500 ppl a day ? everyday all day ? not i… besides by the end of the night you would be kicking off your shoes and dress ( or pants ) and married to the love of your life ! !

uhm i love the bouquet toss ! ! i got the bouquet at my sisters wedding and my fiancé actually caught the garder ! and guess who really is getting married this time ? ! me ! the wedding dress and the first dance is basically the number one thing dream about when i think of my wedding ( aside from the actual ceremony ) i love getting free candy at weddings . i agree that things don’t necessarily have to be extravagant , but i wouldn’t go as far as saying “people don’t care” that just isn’t true . and finally i’m having an outside wedding in the fall , and it’s going to be amazing because i live in arizona , so the weather will be perfect .

efren hernandez’s film < i > muscle man < / i > plays out like a highlight reel of a severely dysfunctional couple whose home videos have found their way onto youtube .

as a wedding guest , i would have to agree with keeping the ceremony short . allow me to add , i also don’t care for the “write your own vows” thing .

ang boon hock is kid with adult responsibilities , whose mom is the owner of a wanton mee stall and whose father we never see , so presumably he ' s dead . he has to juggle taking care of the shop , serving customers , taking care of his younger baby brother whilst his mom works , doing tons of homework , studying and the stigma of being branded hopeless . as the sayings goes ( by the government themselves ) , stupid people marrying stupid people will produce stupid children . but boon hock , after being inspired by a new math teacher who actually cared about her students , studied hard to better himself , because he knew he could . being the most mature and a loyal friend , he is often the one most clear headed and the most dependable .

instead , we have decreed that sheep ( ovis aries ) are just plain stupid . this opinion has not changed much since the 1700s , when george washington , one of the founding fathers of the united states of america , declared : " if the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led , like sheep to the slaughter . "

my cousin and his wife did . it was great . it was a way to include the family members that did not get to go to the actual wedding . i would encourage you to do it . as a family member that didn ' t get to go i loved it !
