i see ppl use over 50k+ for a wedding buffet, wedding dinner, find good date for wedding, many many things

i think that those so extra and waste $$$ even though u get the angpao money back

wai not just register as husband wife or maybe take a few family photos? isnt it more cheaper and simple


wai la so ma fan do all this, unless that person really really rich la. I see those financial problems owe ppl money still want do all this.

PS Me kiddo here so not understand

no body want to hear a whining b**** in middle of the night barking loudly

wai fatty in pikachu suit, so ugly wai

ask the bride

because is about to make it memorable...
is once in a lifetime!!!

If you think that spending a lot for something memorable in your life worth spending that much, that means your grand wedding is much more memorable than your wife.

For me, it's as long as the wife likes it. I don't want her to have any regrets and use that against me in future.

if memorable means you will remember that huge amount of money you spent, then go for it.

why so serious!

my wedding simple. beach event, invite pastor to christen our matrimony there, light food n drink, close family n fren only invited.

event cost, 25k++

Usually the parents' daughters want to cari muka in front of their friends that their daughter hv good catches. If u hv cheapo wedding means ur daughters marry poor men.

that's why nowadays people getting married late.

wedding dinner in 5* hotel in KL, easily 70K and above yo.

I heart can easily earn back the dinner tables fee.

Just invite rich peoples lah.

Qhy in hotel where mark zuckerberg marry in his house

Restaurant baru nice food, Hotel for show off only.

as a fellow middle class serf, it is your duty to spend more than 100,000 on your wedding

imagine if you dont spend a fortune on your wedding. your father will be so ashamed of you he will disown you. your mother will cry at night what kind of crappy child she has borne to this world. your colleagues will isolate and not talk with you, for fear that your poor genes and air that you breathe are shared with them

As a middle class serfs, face is important. anyone int he world can buy food and drinks and houses, but not many can buy face. so do yourself a favor, and splurge on weddings. dont lose face.

biar papa, asal bergaya.

Easiest halal food which is not buffet style.
If you want minimum of 40 tables, what kind of house can fit that?

Number of tables is depending on what kind of business do you run and your parents run.
Usually the more connections you have, the more tables you need.

Certain restaurants in hotel like Tai Zi Heen, Lai Po Heen definitely can match whatever restaurant food you can name of.

i understand what u mean cos i also wondering. my plan for wedding is just garden wedding with finger food. done

U married already?

How much is your wedding cost?

You don't have to. My cousin had a simple wedding diner (close family and friends only) in a restaurant. Rest of the money he saved for a good house.

+1

hai kiddo...

spending money is not the point... its what the couple wants that's important...

and some mafan stuff... its tradition, you can opt not to follow, its a choice...

the amount of money spend to see wife happy is priceless... anyway, 2" won't understand one lar...

Lulz face?

If you dont do it your in law say you no respect them no give them face and will not able to take care of her daughter blah blah blah.

You can always be a cheapo if you want to.... Small wedding... Tesco cake... Nasi putih+ ulam+ babas instant curry + plain water

Depends on how they want to budget their wedding. I personally would not rely on "ang pao" money at all to fund my wedding.

Luckily for me, i have enough to pay the full cost of a wedding if is around 50K-75k thx to my job.

once a life time..but mostly is chinese not the person who married but those oldfolks like to show off

my grandmother always hope any of us, get married and want to make it big and grand....but unfortunately none of us is married

because no one really grows up, and peers pressure is still a thing post adolescence.

Yalo...kinda agree. Entertain guests la, like being a clown for the whole night and really no stamina for hamsap moment with wife on wedding dress cosplay after that. What a waste...

You are soooo dream girl for my wallet.👍

Not couple. Usually the parents daughter

Uneducated thinking = Spend BIG on wedding to save face and please long lost relatives only see once in a very dark blue moon.

Educated and forward thinking = Simple wedding with family and close (quality) friends.

Go figure

all the money and time waste just for pride and face....

i cannot la.. i have big family... need to invite all...

u gal or boy?

meleis, cainies or yindian?

if u a yindian boy. is gooding. gal family gip u bunch of gold and cash to marry their daughter.

if meleis dun care boy or gal, no problem can apply bantuan kahwin 1maresia

if u a cainis gal, no problem also. ask ur parent make ur bf wallet bleed nonstop when ask duit kahwin

if u a cainis boy, nvm also Shaolin Temple still got alot vacant for them

wedding is not for you.

wedding is for the people around you, you spend the money so your parents, her parents, can feel the joy, show off, your wife can wear that beautiful dress and be princess for a day

weeding is not for you

Same reason why people spend so much on education.

Dewan Felda already 100k yo for 1k people.

50K for wedding? i better buy a superbike.

you picit picit and cucuk cucuk your superbike?

I lelz this

This type of girl show off sucking ur money deep deep

if u got many $$$ then u can make big2 wedding lo, if no $$$ then go for small & budget type lo.
Its depend on your decision.

hahaha... i prefer small and simple but what to do, its not like i can choose to which family i should born to...
but doesn't have to be 50k and in hotel... but i have pretty exquisite taste, and that worries me..

u got no time to makan and enjoy during your wedding dinner lar. hehehe

I'm going for simple civil registration. No ceremony. I'm an atheist who doesn't care much for culture.

20k can?
For honeymoon my budget 10k

What if ur in law dont agree?

juz treat them minum kopihazelnut cukup lar

side ideas.. make as well use rm50k to travel all around the world

Most of the reason is parent fault........ want show off to relatives and fren

Show off got money take issit ??? Haha

cainis dinner no sked. sure got untung or less also only fork few k nia.

is the duit hantaran and house dinner and those fancy deco + kehpohchi Dai Kam Jeh + yi mah ku teh + chu pang kau yau + fei see lai

rm50k to travel the world + dinner with close family members.

you know kepochi means a kay poh cheeb-- lol

Take 50k buy property better

hm.. hope for generous relatives and size of ur wedding plan. U know got cheapskate ppl here ask wana go for coll's wedding. its just once a lifetime wedding the cheapskate couldnt afford to give rm50.

girls will say is once in a life time so must be luxury... inb4 ada wang ada amoi...

Yea. everything should be simple when it comes to pleasing others/formalities in life (birth, wedding, funeral events etc)

When it come to pleasing ourself, only then $$ is well spent (rm 2k gadget ... repeat twice a year, rm100k car, rm700k house, rm400 escort/sexy time)

You only marriage once in a life ma , so why not have the best luxury wedding than stingy lausy wedding event

Use superbike for one night stand magnet la.

Wedding like a king but after that live like a beggar. Plus bankrupt somemore.

you cainis or meleis?

cainis, if not too extravagant normally relatives and friends angpow will cover everything.

but i see all superbike convoy all sosej fest only,

only rempit with ex5 got minah rempit

the bigger the bike the more gay?

Compared to simpler life when $$ not involved..... those who want a hand in marriage must kill a bear/lion or two and present the head to the future father in law.

die die must wed in style TS XD

Too bad, deswai don't get married

u really wimmins ?
cam get married

hard to find wimmin who is satisfied with that marriage...

dei, u just keluar hutan kah ?
gal family gib gold no more edi...

summore nowdays all mix marry....
marry cainis, the gal expect us gib gold...

so always dealing , no need gold, just share the wedding money...

dei,
sure or not? last week my supervisor dotter married. he told me he gip the guy 15k.
not all yindian can marry cainis. especially those parent tradition minded 1.

naka kawin 4, buat simple sudah.

not exactly cainis....
some marry viet, indon, thai...
if buy from album, all tanggung by the guy....
but if normal marry...then usually will deal to split wedding cost...

pay RM 15k?
must be sum ulu kampung family....

I laugh at couples who are so desperate to marry and throw a big wedding that they are willing to take out a loan just to finance it.

They usually try to 1 up their friends wedding, talk about bodoh sombong.

if u poor, idup orang miskin.
just suxk yourlife, jangan kahwin.

cannot wait until night time meh?

People all want to show off that they can afford a grand wedding. It's all about the face.

an important reason to throw a lavish wedding is to show ur bride n her parents that u are earning enough to support your new family...

when u got daughter u will understand.. imagine ur future SIL can only afford 10 tables in a one shoplot restaurant, honeymoon go genting... and ur daughter is a law graduate from Oxbridge... u oso sure ask them think twice first..

of coz, those who pinjam money or clear out their bank accounts are dam stupid...

to me a reasonable amount is the money u have left deducing all your obligations.... basically ur savings...

Many people screw up on their financial planning (enjoying material life a God... buying newly launched "necessities" as they come to show off to peers) before reaching marriage age. Now their pocket empty $$$ to proceed with wedding , they blame these rituals as being too expensive.

wimmenz won't agree.. hv to fight2 with peers

So your wife is the type of woman who will blame you for any regrets she may have and use those regrets against you, huh? You must have a very happy marriage.

My wedding would be thirty five thousand feet above the sky and I would gladly invite my friends and family to join us.

oh yea, there is only a 1 way up ticket and the only way down is to jump.

It's all about the face. Must show off.

Keep low profile and have a comfortable life better.

Why want to use ipong or samseng instead of 3310? All can make & receive calls.
Why want to drive god car instead of proton saga? Both car can travel from point A to point B.
Why wanna go Mauritius instead of Pulau Ketam? Both place also island.
Why want to good food instead of Maggi mee everyday? All food also filling ur stomach.

If TS can answer this, then that is the reason why ppl spend so much on their wedding

Well the purpose parent want to do Wedding dinner is to acknowledge or announce to the public that their son or daughter already marry.

then i'm lucky cos wife's family only wants roast pig and gold bangle

u marry some1 daughter, and make the wedding event small and like no 1 know. Their parent will felt like they raise the kid for over 20+ years and some unknown guy just came and grab it away and no 1 even know what happened.

Personal experience is:

RM36K for wedding dinner @ RM1200 per table at 4* hotel in KL
RM5K for lunch buffet for the morning reception
RM4K for pre-wedding pics
RM2K for actual day photographers
RM2K for actual day makeup artist
RM10K for honeymoon in Japan, Free & Easy
RM90K for house downpayment & legal fees & Stamp duty
RM60K for house furnishing and Reno.

Upfront need almost RM200K just to settle down....

Angpow cannot cover wedding dinner cost as average guest give only RM100... Some even RM100 but 2 people come.

Need to save many many years with partner to get that amount....

Wedding new need furniture inside room.. My new room bought furniture already 20k+ without hiring designer.. 50k is consider normal
