I have a dilemma that I really don’t know how to deal with.
So my husband and I finally finished counting our wedding angbaos and we realised that we have a few guests unaccounted for. Although we have a few nameless angbaos, the number of angbaos are less than the guests, meaning to say some guests didnt pay.
We checked our i-banking already and these guests didn’t give us any e-angbao. To my husband, it’s very straightforward. He took a photo of the nameless angbaos and sent them to his guests whose angbaos were unaccounted for and asked if any of the angbaos were from them.
His guests all replied to claim the angbaos and it became apparent that two of my friends didn’t give us any angbao. My husband asked me to drop them a text to ask about the angbaos in case the angbaos were accidentally misplaced during the wedding but I have been procrastinating because I couldn’t bring myself to ask my friends about money.
I feel like I should be happy that they attended our wedding to celebrate with us instead of dwelling about their angbaos and it’s not like we made a loss on our wedding either. Our relatives and friends have been very kind and we managed to profit a bit so one or two angbaos honestly wouldn’t make a difference.
I thought my husband would forget about the missing angbaos but he texted me again during lunch to remind me. I really don’t want to ask because these two are quite good friends of mine and I don’t want our friendship to sour just because of a stupid angbao.
I feel like using my own money to cover up cos I know my husband would continue to probe but I also feel a bit stupid to resort to such extents to cover up. What should I do? Any suggestions?
