“jip san leong” (pick the bride) - without those stupid/disgusting games Malaysians like
Tea Ceremony
ROM - over here we can have the marriage registry minister booked and perform the ceremony at our decided places church/hotel/wedding boutique/home
wedding dinner only close relative , prefer serving food, but we can do western, serving 6 course meals, individually
Honeymoon
Pre-Wedding Photo, not those traditional gowns/suits THICK MAKE UP type, just ask a passionate photographer best friend to shot very natural, nice pictures

A simple chinese wedding for me
Tea ceremony is a must for chinese family + together with jip san leong (without games) + wedding dinner with close relative and close friend + Pre wedding photo and thats it=))

Without ROM party or buffet.

A + E + G

i wonder how much will be the cost for Garden ROM + buffet?
was it enough?

most simple wedding i heard is

Just C

and the best i think is to follow all the traditional thing and do all.
at least does not have any regret and 1time only.
i no wan older time wife/husband say can we go photo wedding cos we young din do .

Prefer to felt embarrassed 1 time then twice.

c and/or d with h

Based on the lists of weddings that you have attended, how many of them are actually as simple as described by most of the forummers here i wonder?

As much as i would agree with the fact that keeping it Simple would be the best, but there are so many other factors to take into account when you are actually planning a marriage. Whatever the plan is, you will need to ensure that you please BOTH sides of the family as well and not just you & your future spouse and this is mainly to avoid conflicts in the future.

Budget is all that matters. So if budget allows can do A-Z. If not then just A is totally fine.

Mine will be photos/honeymoon/wedding all overseas. Need to register locally and then only do those. Sweeettt!

Why must ROM party? just register not enough eh?

Yea just register can also. My thinking is that it'll be a 2 in 1, celebrating with close family and friends and registering marriage one shot.

I'm planning for a ROM and distribute nasi lemak and 1 soya bean packet drink to some close relatives and friends invited only lah

Tea Ceremony is to show respect for the elders. so it is important.
Pick the bride is important too unless u want to break the traditiona and ask her to come to your house by taxi or her friends car.
wedding dinner can be family members only if lack of budget. else open to family members and friends. it all also depends on the venue.
ROM is important else the government won't have your record.
No money honeymoon, can go local places.
Pre-wedding photo if on a budget, ask a friend to shoot a few pics for you.

most important, don't get into serious debts just for that a 1 day occasion.

I'll admit I still want some celebration.
So will still do a small garden/beach ROM celebration with good food and beautiful decorations.

Damn.....means need to put this expenses into my budget then

Don't worry about the Budget. When u get married, just invite k/tards and we will give you a generous amg pow to celebrate the end of your single-hood and the beginning of your Life Sentence

my case:
H - Pre-wedding photo
B - Only a group of very close friends got together for this. no games. no relatives. went for ROM
E - ROM lunch with selected close relatives of both side of family, and the earlier close friends.
A - tea ceremony during lunch
G - Honeymoon
D - small wedding dinner for bride side of immediate relatives.

simple enough?
both sides agreed not wanting the hassle of going through the usual stuffs
