I am confused. They told not to look at Yellow Gold but they say Yellow Gold better?

Nor to look at White Gold. Sorry typo.

This show be put to Sticky Thread

Agreed....Will share more info as my date nears as well.

Thanks guys, will try to write more once I have free time
But only 'poor' or 'wise' people find it useful
Because many put up a grand wedding for 'show' but since they can afford, then by all means.

Very informative guys!
Super helpful for bride/groom to be. Pls do update more ya.
Am amazed by the level of details u guys have, thought usually girls will plan all these

I'm a girl

Hahaha, yea I agreed that normally the girl would be the one planning with all the details. My fiance don't really get involve much unless I need his feedback or input for things. But sometimes when the girl do too much also kinda like one way thing. I also will nag and push him to get somethings done.

Very informative. Thanks for sharing:)

You're welcome. Will update from time to time when I have the time.

Hi all.Good topic.Too soon to be wedding.Well, of course the lack of money.You never know when you find love.Would never have believed that seeking online.But it is not important.If someone needed https://mymagicbrides.com (russian wooman service).Parents support us.But to me as head of the family.It was hard to find a place,economical and good.The bride many vagaries.Show the bride this post and continue training.Good luck to all.

It always depends on where you wedding is going to be held. If you talk about just a small family wedding then it won't cost so much as the people is budgeted around your family. But if you want to make it grand, with friends, and also in a reputable restaurant or hotels then it will be costly. But after all wedding is a big thing in life, so just enjoy it, and as long as you love it.

This is extremely helpful although I am not getting married anytime soon in the next year or two. Probably in 4 years time when both myself and my girl have enough money in our finances.

Thanks so much for the informative guide/pointers @princessgalaria and also @manpower4x4 for adding on for the guys!
Many many wishes of congratulations to all who has commented in this thread!

Of course, that's really depending on:
1. Your family is paying for the wedding
2. You're paying for your own wedding
3. Are you rich or not?
4. How big / grand you want your wedding to be
5. How many ppl u want to invite

In a nutshell, got money then anything possible, no money then.... read this thread. LOL.

You're most welcome. But after 4 years inflation, you need to add 20-30% on top of my budget
Even banquet says they increase at least 3-5% per year.

Unfortunately that's really the case and need to factor in for GST as well
I am definitely looking at banquets like the one you mention but the Menana LYL that one la. Much nearer to home also actually and there are 2 hotels there. Hotels are just out of the league unless I have that much luxury to spare.

Anyhow, my parents are expecting me to food the bill on my own like a man

haha I'm also footing my own bills to everything

Hahaha. Daddy made it clear to me and my elder brother already. "You two will marry your future wife on your own and with your own capacity"

Then again, on the flip side also need to discuss with my girl and plan our way to that very moment.

Wah, then I am considered really lucky. My parents will foot the bill, but of course "angpao" they keep lar...

My dad said its because my grandfather (although really poor that time) also did the same, so he want to do the same.

Good for you, I wouldn't wanna take my parents' money plus I'm on the girl's end which supposed the guy should be footing most of the stuffs. Due to special case single mum side on my hubby and how she does not want our wedding to happen after all bcos she felt that I'm 'taking' away her son. The whole wedding is like a tragedy to her, instead of being happy she just made our life miserable. We just informed her on the date, and since then she did not spoke of anything about the wedding at all. Perhaps she might not even attend. I felt that it's such an insult to my family. Don't even think about footing the bill. But who gives a damn, I'm to marry the son.

All the best to you
Happy saving

Sorry to hear that. I understand what you mean, as I know some cases like that too.
