Well, marriage can be expensive or inexpensive. What you really need to do is some planning and a bride that is willing to accept your financial situation.

What you actually need is just a room for you two, with new furnitures. Money for photoshot and simple wedding ring. Also need to set some aside for dowry. If you can do it the simplest way, then its not going to be expensive at all.

As for dinner, you can actually find a reasonably priced restaurant, instead of spending lavishly. Most of the time, if you keep it within affordable range, the angpao will mostly cover it without much problem.

Personally I spent around 20K for all these, and as for dinner, its all on my dad as he's the one who wanna invite his huge friends' list and also clients. As for me, I only invite 10 of my very best friends and make a table.

I knew some people who can spent 3K per table for dinner. Personally I dont really know why people nowadays wanna invite everyone they knew. I think you need to take into account how much angpao you can get for each table to ensure that you dont overspent.

Dear friends,

After reading all of your advise, I think I should talk to my GF and my mom about signing the paper first. And I think it also more wiser not to take loan at this moment. Maybe when ready, will do the ceremony. Yes, I agree marriage is between me and my GF and not the other people. But I guess I am gonna start a BIG argument with my mom..  sleep.gif

Regarding the house, both of us are thinking to live there after married. Other than new, the location is also excellent and near to my work place. Perhaps after we can own a landed house, that condo will be up for rent/sale. I know it will be hard for me to live soon. Not to mention if we are having kids. But we also feel really want to "smell" a new house for once. So it would be really hard for us to let go and rent cheaper house elsewhere.

Actually after thinking a lot, before this, my life is "live easy life first, let the difficulties come later". So I am going to change that now reversely, to live hard first and happy comes later. Yes I regret my life before. But there is still one small problem.. how to completely change? How to get discipline every day? Do you guys have some specific ways?

p/s: By the way who is TS??
You are really motivating me to marry her now man!  nod.gif
Hmmm.. maybe you forgot to mention the cost of flights to Sabah. Let say from my family (who needed to be there and who also want to be there) that I have to sponsor is 5 pax. Including the accommodation, my GF and I counted, it would be almost RM4k already. And my GF told me that to host the dinner, it should take RM6k++. So total up everything, wedding dinner in Sabah could be more than RM10k... But it is ok, I take your advise about the salary bonus. In my head right now is I want to save, save and save.

Seriously, why would you do that?

Work out that marriage agreement first before signing the paper. Get everyone to agree on the terms, or otherwise if anything goes wrong, you will be in a big trouble. Dont rush into rash decisions.
