Chinese style vs western style...

Which one is easier to wallet?

I must save 5 to 6 years down the read.

The question is, when are you going to get married ?

Include the yearly inflation rate, say at good times = 3% or not so good times = 4.5% and above.

So the actual money is actually worth lesser then you thought over the time.

I can say RM45k is not really 'a lot' for the next 5-8 years.

Probably 6 years down the road.

45K for wedding is just the tip of the iceberg.

You have to factor in on $$$:

1) House

2) insurance

3) car (2 cars)

4) kids (food, diapers, medical fees, pregnancy costs, education etc)

5) household expenses.

6) Nursery/caretaker

and manyak lagi

why just focus on the wedding ceremony???  doh.gif 

Be more realistic. if your salary isn't at least 5 figure, then you need to depend on wife income to combine and make things work.

The benchmark that i use for financial planning in future would be "household income".

You are right that there are more important things to consider, namely house, insurance, and future education.

In China, there is no 8 course, but even more.

Here in Malaysia, 8 course.

Bottom line, invite only those who you and your partner know?
