Nowadays with the inflation rate and the price of everything skyrocketing, our spending power is lesser and lesser. So, RM20,000 or more is easily spent on a wedding and is now considered average. but you could be richer and just as happy if you had a less-expensive but equally joyous celebration.
I am not favoring to couples eloping!! because family members and friends should be there to celebrate with you and bless you both to a new life together. "But, be humble. Have a nice, modest, decent-sized wedding. Make the wedding special not by ostentatious displays, but with joyous get together —a memorable celebration."
With the money you don't spend on your wedding, You are better off and can get ahead in other areas of life. [Use the money for a] down payment on house, pay off school debts, start a business or save them up for rainy days.....etc, etc.
As long as you celebrate with families/friends and can inspire others with the power of your love for each other, your wedding day will be a wonderful memory that won't leave behind bills that could haunt you for a few decades.
"An expensive wedding does not make a good marriage." Eloping denies your family and friends from celebrating your joyous occasion with you. Have a modest wedding where the occasion is memorable but need not necessary have to pay tro' your nose with heavy burdens just to celebrate this joyous occasion. Do away with all those alcohol yelling of 'yam seng' lavish dinners.Never compare your marriage to others. What you see on the outside is not always what it is on the inside.
Many myths that surround marriage can give you unrealistic expectations. Disappointment is sure to come if you are looking for the Cinderella-like happily-ever-after storybook marriage year after year.
If you watch late night TV, enjoy classic movies, listen to love songs, or read romantic novels, then you may have an image of marriage that never, ever was.
These shows may make you believe that life is always wonderful, that all of your needs can and should be met by your spouse, children are the icing on the cake, marriage will solve all your problems, and you will live happily ever after.
MYTH: Romance will always be alive in a good marriage.
REALITY: Nearly all relationships experience peaks and valleys. The everyday problems and challenges of married life can often cloud over romantic feelings. This is when making the decision to love is important.
Your marriage needs love, support, tolerance, communication, realistic expectations, caring, nurturing, and a sense of humor to be successful.
