Thanks for this. I am also in the midst of organizing my wedding, non-Chinese style in Church. But my location is in Malacca though.Any example photos of your wedding would be super helpful as well.

QUOTE(manpower4x4 @ Mar 19 2015, 10:50 AM) Well, I was planning like about 9 months ahead. Looking around for all the stuffs. Because my wedding is on an auspicious date in September (which I chose by accident based on the church's availability) so I quickly settled off the basics of everything. Now only left with the cake. As for me, I did not go a lot of places. Just get a few quotations around town and my area and if they don't fit, I will expand my search further down. Ya, same. Mine also auspicious, (12/12), so hard to get the vendors we want/like. Haha. |

My budget for wedding band is about 2k+ Poh Kong's quality is so cheapskate, at least Wah Chan still gave me discount when I asked and their rings are more solid for that kind of price. Poh Kong macam i pay 50cent put in the 'telur machine' twist twist keluar one.. |

QUOTE(princessgalaria @ Apr 19 2015, 02:20 PM) 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. Sorry to hear that. I understand what you mean, as I know some cases like that too. |

Dwelling on things that I can't change is just a waste of time, look forward to good things is the way I guess I always believed: "Do the best in the things you can control. For those you can't control, no point worrying anyways." |

QUOTE(Tony9113 @ Apr 28 2015, 07:27 PM) Hi there! I`m already married. It was in May. We are really love this month! We had outdoor wedding, it was perfectly. My wife found a very interesting site with huge number of tips, ideas and more usefull things for a budget wedding click here We had a small and cozy wedding with guest list about 20 - 25 close friends. I liked it, I felt very comfortable. We had some cocktail party near pool. =) All guests really enjoyed it. The next day we went on a honeymoon trip. It was the best wedding (I think). I recommend you! Nice, wish I could settle with a small number of guests too... |

QUOTE(princessgalaria @ Sep 17 2015, 09:55 AM) For me, not really. Wedding fairs make you fall for some impulsive decision especially those pre wedding packages, they will keep selling you that promo only valid for today and then at the end you bought and realise have to top up for a bit which is the same. If you really hv the time, I suggest you really sit back and consider and compare first. This is very true, same goes for those travel fair if you're planning for honeymoon. I went to Matta Fair to check out ticket price, and ask around, quite panic because flight tickets to where we plan to go are selling out fast, but decided not to buy at Matta fair. Ended up checking online, managed to get even cheaper flight, plus its direct flight. This post has been edited by zhou86: Sep 17 2015, 04:02 PM |

QUOTE(Kanan Jarrus @ Sep 17 2015, 07:59 PM) eerrmm, just asking here; For me, we picked a rather expensive destination (London/Iceland), because its one of our bucket list, and what better way to tick it off with a honeymoon. Oh we are going for 2 weeks, and as mentioned, we managed to get rather good flight pricing for direct to London.for honeymoon, usually where you guys pick, Asian countries (Japan, Korea), or European countries (France, Spain) or Western (US,Canada)??? and most importantly, what's the duration, minimum 7 days is it?? thx for your answer But the exchange rate is really killing us... Honeymoon destination is really subjective, as said, its really somewhere both of you want to go together. And its not a must, but its a good way to kickstart the marriage, getting to know each other much more intimately in a relaxing and casual environment, without anyone else you know around you. |

QUOTE(flamephotography @ Sep 23 2015, 01:33 PM) In fairy tales land, yes. But in reality, I would not count on it. Some people said, it even adds on to your problems. Don't ever get married because you felt that your life is not complete and need the other second half. Get married only when you know you are complete and ready to take on another reation ship commitment. Nice, good advice. Just my half cents worth............ Cheers........ Go into a relationship knowing you are capable of taking care of others, and not needing others to take care of you. If both think like that, then it will be a happy relationship... |
