Commercial exploitation... of the vain rages on!

Commercial exploitation... of the vain rages on!
 
One evening two weeks ago we were invited out for dinner at a Korean restaurant. While waiting for the host to arrive, we looked at the nearby shops. We entered a bridal shop and observed some of the fascinating products on display. We saw several wedding photography packages.

A 'Gold' package cost RM8888, a 'Platinum' package costs RM9888, with
...the fancy looking albums and photos in them. These photographic packages will give the bridal couples opportunity to have the fancy poses in the various whimsical backdrops... What I saw reminded me of something 24 years ago.

I remember spending no more than RM80 for all my wedding photographs expenses - a few rolls of Kodak films and all the developing and printing! A kind friend was the photographer (Kenneth Chin)

We conserved the little money we had for better use in the days ahead of us!!! We were going to raise a family, needing a home, etc.

And bless the Lord we are still happily married, with 4 children!
