Re: Paying for wedding expenses as charity
Wow you guys are really tough cookies; just because someone was born into unfortunate circumstances you want to make sure they observe those unfortunate circumstances? I don’t get it.
So if there are no means to higher your education past the point of common literacy (which is more then many in pakistan) and you have to get married; there is absolutely no reason to give them a small wedding with 50 other couples? They should marry in everyday clothes; they should look as they do every day of thier lives and they should head on home w/o anything to celebrate.
I say let them enjoy a bit.
Personally if I was out buying my wedding stuff and saw such a box; I’d like to think that I’d buy once less outfit adn put something in there for girls who are less fortunate then me.
Grant it - if it was a choice between education and a splendid wedding I’m all for the education.
I think if someone is marketing themselves as a charity, then it should at least be for providing for people who need necessities, not luxuries. The money spent on an unnecessary wedding would be better put to use educating more kids.
