can consider doing all in 1 day at one single venue (but parents normally wont agree cos msian chinese parents always insist to have 'fetch bride session and prayers @ home).

2 pm : Walk down the aisle & ROM & Photography Session. This can be held at the pool area or function room. The pics taken during this session can quickly be turned into slideshow for display @ dinner later at 9 pm

4 pm : Tea Ceremony for both sides of family. Since ROM will be attended by close family, this will safe time for the family members from travelling or allocating another day for this. try to make it hassle free for your family and guests. similarly, the pics taken during this session can quickly be turned into slideshow for display @ dinner later at 9 pm

6 pm : after tea ceremony, ask everyone to go for cocktail & predinner drinks @ the banquet hall.

7 pm : Banquet / Dinner.

I prefer to not have any 'prewedding photos'. Photos taken on the day of wedding itself is good enough as it is casual and natural. But for all these to happen, must ensure that you get good photographers who can deliver timely (slideshow in a few hours) and good quality pictures.

planned to do only E+G+H but not having A+D upsets parents very much.
will try to have 20 tables for wedding dinner +A and skip B.

Don't skip the jip san leong, 'coz you'll regret it later for skipping it.

Just my two cents.

Mine just ROM without any party or reception. After ROM on the same day, my family and his family 1 table go for lunch.

Hi guys, im a malay and im about to buy a ring for my fiancee for wedding.

How much is considered "ok" or decent price for that?

Im thinking wedding ring within range of RM1,500 - RM 2,000

Hi zuhairabakar.

There is really no indication of what is the best value for a ring. Just like you cannot put a price in LOVE.

Easiest way to judge, is by what you can afford. If your fiance knows you well and knows your financial situation well, she is the best person to judge. And what ever price you spent, she will still be happy.

For example, if you are only earning, lets say 1800 a month and only have saving at about 3k in your saving account, and you bought a ring for her that cost 1799 you are actually using almost 100% of your salary and Around 35% of your savings. That shows how generous you are. But if you earn 80k a month and have about 1 Million in your saving account and spends 30,000 on a ring for her, you are just using about 37% of your salary and 3% of your savings. Who is more generous? And its also one way to judge whether she understands or care about your financial situation and also to see if she is DUIT minded. One of the many cause of marriage dis-function is money and financial problems.

Just my half cents worth....... Take care bro and congratulations on your marriage.....

good advice. tqvm

No problem............ Happy to help.......

A + B = 1 session morning
C + D = together one dinner so only invited certain people
E = had it before marriage and just a one table lunch with family
F = groom side because serve relatives after tea ceremony
G = later when enough money
H = is a must and spend quite a lot money....

My ideal wedding day, B+Church&ROM+A+C(50 table max) all done in one day.

What is going to happen soon, because wedding apparently is a family event and not my personal preference.

B+Church&ROM+A+D(100 tables for both sides' family and our friends in hometown), another D (88 tables for my parents' friends in hometown) the next day, and finally another D (88 tables in SG for our friends/colleagues in SG with my parents' SG friends) one week later...
