need to go down to maybank to do some banking stuff. sigh. if i ever have a damn good advice for anyone who is going to get married is just this one: SAVE MONEY!!
and make sure you do this YEARS before your wedding day. infact, start saving now!! its no joke. wedding expenses can run up so high that your pre-wedding jitters is about how u gonna pay off the bills instead of 'is-he-the-right-one-for-u'.
i am quite lucky that my parents will be footing some of the expenses like food and door gifts. but that doesnt mean i am getting married for free! still have to pay for photographer, make-up artist, outfits, gifts for the fiance, etc, etc. i feel a headache coming on.
as for the guys.. i shudder to think of the wang hantaran they have to cough up. SGD 10k?
its never to early to start saving up!! dont have a bf now also never mind!! just in sec 2 also never mind!! just go and get that savings started. i am slightly pissed that i didnt have that much of cushy savings to tide me over. most were spent on holidays to kl. *head slap* urgh.
so thats the best advice i can ever give to anyone. take it!! its free!

i have had friends who have/getting married giving me advices to save up for my big day because of the HUGE costs that it incurred. and i think i will heed your advice..
Hi.
I've been reading yr blog for quite some time now, I think it's good :)
Anyway, wanted to say, thanks for the (free) advice, hehe. It's really scary lor, how guys have to save up abt $10K eh... and then both parties got to save for honeymoon, and all those other stuff you mentioned.
Esp since I wouldn't want his parents to come up with the money, I want the guy to come up with the money himself... so it's like budget life all the way til marriage eh. Haha. Should have started saving when I was in Secondary 1. $2 each day or something.
congrats anyway, Insya'Allah all goes smoothly for you :)
