Đám cưới quê rườm rà, lãng phí

vợ sắp cưới nhất quyết đòi phải có hoa, như vậy đám cưới mới trọn vẹn, anh chồng chỉ thấy lãng phí (phù phiếm, 1-2 ngày là tàn) -> làm sao thuyết phục hôn thê đổi ý?

-> ko bao giờ nên tranh cãi, "đánh" vào yếu tố chi phí/lãng phí, mà phải nhấn mạnh yếu tố "vĩnh cửu" -> thay vì mua hoa, thì nên mua đồ nội thất...

Dear Dan,

I'm planning my wedding, and my fiancée (hôn thê, vợ sắp cưới) and I disagree about one major topic—the flowers. All of the options we've seen are incredibly expensive, and I'm just not comfortable (không thoải mái) spending (chi tiền) so much money on something that's only going to last a day or two. But my fiancée feels the wedding wouldn't be complete without flower arrangements at every table. Is there any way I can change her mind?

If I were you, I wouldn't attack the cost of the flowers but their symbolic meaning. In your fiancee's mind, flowers probably represent youth, beauty and nature—all wonderful things to have represented at a wedding. On the other hand, you could argue that flowers are also symbolic of transitoriness (ngắn ngủi, nhất thời, phù du, chớp bóng)—something that is here today but will wilt tomorrow. Why not try telling her that you don't want a symbol of something short-lived in your wedding? Instead, try to convince (thuyết phục (ai tin vào điều gì)) your fiancée to spend it on something long lasting such as furniture or a new convertible (oto có thể bỏ mui)... That way, you'll be spending money on things that are symbolic of your long future together.
