Re: Wedding in Karachi
WOW!!! i had no idea people spent that much on gifts! 580,000 worth of stuff?????????!!!! holy crap. i see his point though about the money, however, he could have made a donation to a charity instead or sponsored thousands of kids. oh well, to each their own.
I don't see why everyone is so shocked by these figures. Virtually every country is going to a handful of fabulously wealthy families who can afford all sorts of extravagances. I'm sure HSY and Faiza Samee know their clientele well, and price their clothing accordingly. If you consider how western designer-wear is priced, I don't think their price tags are all that ridiculous...if you were to walk into a top tier designer boutique in the US (Vera Wang, Badgley Mischka, Reem Acra, etc) an average off the rack wedding dress would easily cost $5,000-$6,000 (Rs. 300,000-375,000). If you were to go into these designers' ateliers and have a custom couture gown made specifically for you, it's going to cost at least $20,000 (Rs. 1,250,000)...and from there, the sky's the limit. If any of you saw Donald Trump's latest wife's wedding dress, it was worth over $150,000...and was actually pretty ugly too....
