Im wondering am i posted in the right discussion board. By looking at the variety segments LYN netizen, consist of different level of background, i hope someone out there could provide a few 2 cents.

I've made my proposal to my gf just recently, and plan to have our wedding to be held in Y2015 end. Which of the major expenses that ready to occur, and is that true that majority of the wedding expenses are to be bear by the man?

For those whom have the past experiences, its the time to have your sweet memories recalled ~

================================================================================================

Wedding Album = RM6,500 (a package where we already signed up in last year)
Wedding Band =
Bride Dowry =
Ang Pao Disbursement =
Wedding Dinner =
Actual day video & photo =
Other??? (pls list down) =

cannot recall so detail

roughly spend 90k for all these

oh and this is 10 year ago

u now budget how much max?

90K ??! @@. How the earth your money spent..? i never expect such a huge amount.

For me, excluded actual day wedding dinner (hope that the ang pow i received manage to cover the whole night expenses), i plan to allocate 25-30k for the rest of the potential expenses, will it be enough..?

The most important, what will be the likely major expenses that i need to cover...?

wedding dinner, place rental

whr u plan to do ur wedding diner?

Johor Bahru. Table rate over here about 900-1200 ++ / table.

Appreciate if someone can breakdown the expenses into particular.

The 90K you mentioned in 10 yrs back, where was your state friend..?

Wedding photo album RM6000
Wedding band RM4000 a pair
Dowry RM10000
Buffet dinner RM2500
Roast pork RM1200
Actual day video & photo shooting RM800
Emcee RM800 for day & night
Ang pow for bestman
Ang pow for bridesmaid
Ang pow for the brothers
Ang pow for the sisters
Ang pow for the little children and your cousins

klang valley

when was this man..?

You didnt go for dinner in restaurant? Jus do buffet?

Last year

Got dinner banquet held but you can exclude this from the list because usually the ang pow money received is more than enough to cover the banquet.

I doubt nowadays people are that generous.

Money tight now, economy not good
people are rushing to get marry before GST kick in, so people will have to pay many new weds angpao and they will give very little cuz so many weddings to attend.

Its your budget decide what to put in the itinerary, not put itinerary and put budget, you dont need to have anything that those weddings that you attended have. Your budget and teir budget is not the same, you might say but hey that guy earn as much as me but who knows he might have screw his financial status by helding such grant wedding. Personal loan for wedding is a no no.

Did you know it cost close to nothing to get legally married?

Remember life after marriage is the most important, not one day of extravaggant.

Here's mine...

Pre wedding photoshoot: rm5,000
Engagement ring + band: rm11k
Dowry: none
Ang pao: none
Wedding dinner: rm30k
Actual day video: I check latest rate is rm3k fr video, rm2k fr photo
Others - wedding misc: rm7k

Btw I'm doing a beach wedding in KK next march

LOL.

simple rule: spend 1/4 of what you have in cold hard cash, AFTER minusing all your liabilities (loans for example)

if u want to spend rm 100k, u need to have rm 400k if you have no house or car loan

if u drive a RM 150k car (another rm100k need to pay) and a house loan of RM 500k (left 450k), and have cash of RM 600,000

then u are entitled to use: RM 600k - RM 450 - RM 100k / 4 = RM 25k




enjoice. anyone who says marriage comes once in a lifetime is farking stupid

wedding dinner: RM 100 / head cheapest

but will be offset with the ang pao

video is stupid. no one is gonna watch the video after they've seen it once. invest in photos better

others: your bed to make baby. trust me, they're expensive.

honeymoon dun forget. later waifu pull long face

Why not discuss with your fiancee first?

Ajak ging

Haha... boleh bah kalo kao
