it's not that lah ... I mean ... it's like some people buying and keeping their mortar board and graduation gown eh ? ...Originally posted by choco B:Why would you assume your girl would want to keep her wedding gown?
Or issit your fantasy? LOL
*ahem
I wonder how much is a Vera Wang gown. Doubt S$3K is enough .
it's getting scarier and scarier ....

Fatum why are you freaking yourself out?
It's not a must to spend extravagantly, you can do it for less cos there are other options -
Actually my dream wedding is just to ROM then go overseas for a honeymoon and have wedding photos taken over there and have something different from the usual Sentosa shot.
Problem was you know the older folks started protesting (Mum and Dad were cool. Was my grandma who protested) then my parents had to sweet talk me into having at least a small family dinner which somehow ballooned to 13 tables, which I had to throw a HUGE hissy fit to stop it from ballooning even more
(Note: Pinky Bear is extremely patient and accomodating but once past breaking point she is terrible)
Anyway, mum knows best and she knows how ugly the situation will turn into once I lose my head and I won't look back once I make that decision
That was how she quelled the protests from relatives about me marrying a non-chinese too
Right now, I'm waiting for them to forget about the tea ceremony and what other nonsense. -

If I were you no relatives wil be invited, since they feel that way. The fuckers will have no say in how I run my life.
I hate relatives.
If I ever get married......I'm going to do it the Lee Kuan Yew way. Get married secretly without telling my parents -
Actually I owe them tea ceremony and wedding pics...as in studio pics with wedding gown etc which I didn't think necessaryOriginally posted by av98m:You still owe them tea ceremony?

I know alot of girls dream of this day where to dress up like a princess but it was never my dream before because I think it's too much of a bother
I dunno getting married to me was like just formalising things. I didn't feel the excitment that my friends did like Oooo I'm getting married and that I get to wear this and that and have this and that? I guess the transition was just too natural to feel any excitment?
Anyway it didn't go as I wanted so maybe that is why I didn't feel the excitment
However, personally I am one who does not enjoy things like ceremonies etc so maybe. If my parents didn't force me to go to my graduation ceremony, I wouldn't have turned up -

Around there... yah...Originally posted by Fatum:no lah ... just doing my sums ... to see how much I need for my "wifey fund" ...
hmmm .... 25 tables ... that works out to around ? ..... 250 guests ? ...
long time ago liao, can't remember 25 or 27 or 28 :p -
70 tables??!!! *gasp*Originally posted by JLennon:Hey I did almost the same thing too.
Had a western-styled dinner in Equinox with close relatives and friends with a JP marrying us. Next day had the traditional dinner in the ballroom with about 70 tables iirc. Busted a hole in the pocket as angpaos didn't quite cover all costs. -
My advice: buy a gown/dinner dress overseas. MUCH cheaper than renting one in Sg! I got my dinner dress for $90 in Australia, and still able to use it for other functions in future!Originally posted by Fatum:just wondering ....
how much does a wedding gown cost to buy ah ? ....
I know tuxs are cheaper than gowns of course ...
so how much roughly ? ....
Wedding gowns in Sg average between $1,300-$2,000+ just to RENT. Buying a gown overseas can cost a few hundred, but the skirt/top can always be altered/dyed a different colour so your bride can use it some other time for dinners/functions etc -
Well, if my future Mrs AV wants the full package ceromonies blah blah including dressing up like a princess, I'm not going to stop herOriginally posted by elindra:Actually I owe them tea ceremony and wedding pics...as in studio pics with wedding gown etc which I didn't think necessary

Mm, in line with the topic, for those already married ...
... how much did you actually pay out of pocket, after all the expenses and receipt of ang pows etc. etc. - (don't include value of ceremonial gifts e.g. coffee maker, vacuum cleaner) ?? -
$31 for the marriage fee and a $10 "thank you tip" for the judge. Pai seh to say.

whatever the case, now that I'm no longer a struggling student ... it's time to start fattening up the wifey fund kitty liao ....
