Thank you my friends for the opinion. Below, I elaborate further...
My GF is from Sabah, so my mom just afraid of two things. One is my GF culture and practices maybe some of it not aligned with our religion (actually my family and GF family are all in same religion). Secondly, she afraid that I will only follow my GF and focus on GF family only and soon forgets her. However I managed to convince my mom that this won't be happening. But the last time I spoke to her, I can still feel a bit about this "trauma" of my mother. So I can conclude that she is just not completely accepting her yet.
My new salary would be 4k only. I already brought a condo that will finish its construction in May 2015. Got to pay RM1250 for that soon. Also RM600 for car. Not to forget the education loan, investment, utilities, internet, phone, allowance for mother, settle credit card, petrol, grocery and balance for lunch/dinner for a month. Before this, I always enjoy my life without thinking to save money. And now I regret it. Deep in my heart I just wish I can turn back the clock. But I know I can't and that is why I predicted that I can achieve a saving of 5k only by mid of 2015.
Suggestion from you guys to just sign the paper and do the wedding dinner later also had been considered by us. But because in our tradition, it is heavily required us to do the wedding and dinner altogether. We are in headache thinking about this...
As I grow older, I can say that 96% of my friends are currently already married. So, during weekend most of them are very difficult to hang out. As I don’t know who else to be with, so I go to my GF. Then I think that if I always going out with her like that, it is better for me to marry her straight away. In addition, I will not be alone and bored anymore. Furthermore, actually during 2nd year with her, I already promised to marry her. But it didn’t happen. Then in 3rd year I promised again. Didn’t happen as well. Now we are just entering 5th year. So how? I know that I was stupid to promise her like that. But the pressure continues.
In conclusion why I want to get married is I am living alone and looking for someone to take care of me and someone for me to take care. I am ready emotionally but financially still not there yet.
My suggestion is talk to your gf about your current financial status. Communication is the keys to marriage. Do not take it all your own. Prior to R.O.M, at least you need RM1-2K (maybe less, I saw Poh Kong sell nice diamond ring less than RM2K for couple) to buy engagement ring and then fix a date (perhaps 6 months from your proposal date) followed by wedding dinner date (2years after??, discuss again with your spouse about this). I guess, 2 years after will be just nice as you will have ample of time to prepare for your marriage.My GF is from Sabah, so my mom just afraid of two things.
