Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
get the flat first mate. You will want to avoid having your wife live with your parents. There can only be one adult woman in any one roof. Mum and Wife cannot live together....never.
Don't even think your GF and your mum get along fine, it changes after marriage......trust me.... |

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
My personal preference:
1. Buy condoms first. 2. Fuck future wife to be to see if she is good in bed. 3. If she is good or responsive, then time to meet the future parents-in-law to get approval. 4. Buy house first (Biggest money spender item) 5. Furnished the house. 6. Plan for wedding 7. Moved into the new house (Can fuck with freedom and in as many rooms as you have) 8. Get married and hold wedding dinner. All in all, my past experience, I got my condo for less than $800K. Furnishing costs another $40K, wedding cost $40K. So you do the maths...

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
thanks bro madix for breaking down how the money are spend. but certain things we are also trying to cut dwn the cost so we could hold our wedding sooner like photo sessions will be going across the causeway. (my friends all say there alot cheaper and the quality also similar.)
our target after using up our current saving for house was to hold the wedding within 2 yrs. is tat very long? we calculated that we nid abt 30k plus for the customary. (tis is excluding amt collected from the ang baos we receive.) |

PLANNING!
Photo shoot and big party are the last thing in your mind. Dont spent lavishly on very nice new wedding glowns. You tend to pay more for new ones then to rent a used one. It will save up a lot. Like manyt friends says, go JB for a photo shoot, or Melaka, much cheaper. As for the customy wedding, maybe can try a buffet, much cheaper. If not try not to go hotels. They are much more expensive. Try to go to resturants, can get half the price. Of course, you need to have a room of your own first, if you do not plan to have a house so fast. At least a room of your own, even if you stay with your family. Next is to plan properly, what you want to do after marriage? Have kids? Calculate within your means. If you can afford, then buy a bigger house. If not save up and wait for a better deal. Working couples. Both of you work, what are your going to do if a kid is coming? Accidents do happen. Remember, choosing a house is not up to you. If you have the "yuan", the house is yours, no need to die die must have a house. Can always wait. Most importantly, love is the most important thing.

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
Bro Tellmiwhy,
Registering for marriage is only $21. You can rent a room to save cost and spend a few days in a neigbouring country such as Bangkok for your honeymoon. I think $3000 should be enough if you are on a tight budget and if you want to have a rental place of your own. The first and most important thing is whether your wife and you are compatible and suitable for each other. If you are, then go ahead to get married. If you aren't, don't marry each other. Quote:

Re: Which thing 1st for marriage??
Personally, I don't suggest leaving a house empty for 2 years.
Get a house first and probably wedding about 1/2 - 1 year later. Also check with parents what are their expectations for the banquet. Because if they are going to invite all the relatives and friends, be prepared for a loss if you are going to have dinner at hotels. Size of the party will affect the magnitude of your deficit/gain. Proper planning of the guest lists as well as proper rsvp of guests will help to reduce your pain for banquet. For me, I actually had a decent positive variance from my party. I am not encouraging undertaking credit here but sometimes, it is no harm taking calculated financing. For that, I mean manageable financing. One good example is to tap on some of the credit card interest free financing for some of your furnishing. That will help to shorten the time lag between getting house and actual wedding. Hope I am making positive contribution. Lastly, congrats. Suggest going for a marriage prep course to prepare for the big change of sharing your life with someone for the rest of your life! Cheers! |
