School started & I've been very busy with assignments. Therefore, I will try my very very very best to update this blog of mine. I've been wanting to update on a particular issue but I was caught up with school. Luckily, with my not-so-super memory, I managed to keep in mind for week on the topic I wish to discuss about.
Mr. Fiance & I have discussed on doing a joint wedding. We have similar reasons on to why we decided on this but our wedding will only occur in 2016 so there is more than enough time for us to think about it. Our reasons are as follows:
- We feel that doing a joint wedding, we could save some money. This is because we don't want to spend a lot on our wedding. If we have to spend like 20k to 30k on each of our side, might as well we combine kan? Therefore, from the location to the deco to the small minor details, we will split into half or base on the number of person each of us will be inviting.
- I hate empty pelamin. Whenever I attend a wedding, I do get excited to see the bride and groom but its a disappointment to see an empty dais. Whoever wanna see an empty dais. We are there for a purpose! & that is to see the bride and groom. Why is it empty? It's either the groom have left and on the way to fetch the bride or......the bride have left with the groom on the way to the groom's side. Therefore, how are you gonna take a picture with the bride and groom? & the only time that dais is empty when we go for our wardrobe change.
- More time to mingle around with your families and friends. Have you been to a wedding whereby you are unable to take a photo with the bride and groom cos they have to be at some other place? & have the wedding planner rush you cos they need to be on time based on the itinery? We don't want anyone to rush us cos do wanna make time for our guests who make the effort to share this special day with us. To top that on, they can't even sit peacefully and enjoy the food that they pay for. Therefore, I want to have more than enough time for what's gonna happen on our big day.
For now, that will be our reasons on why we want a combine wedding. I was sceptical at some point because my dad side are all orang boyan so confirm plus chop mesti ramai orang. Why? Orang boyan kan suka jempot si dekni nye nenek nye jiran lama punye blah blah blah. In order to ease that burning question of mine, I ask my dad how many people he invited for my eldest brother wedding. Ye eleh 250 to 300 je, I thought it will be 500. So I'm okay with it cos the fact that I have less than 30 friends (loner! NOT! I only keep true friends).
But I'm worried for Mr. Fiance's side cos for tunang je his parents buat majlis for 200 people & please eh, this mat macam superstar. He got tons of friends. Kawan budak yishun, kawan bola, kawan moto, kawan ITE, kawan poly, kawan cari hantu. AHHHHH!!! AMEK KAU! Therefore, if he wanna combine he need to get his number of invitations just nice or my dad won't agree to it. But still a long way to go. Boleh bawak bincang again in the future.
The most important reason to why we want a combine wedding is that one of the reason to get married is to merapat kan silaturahim between two families so now you tell me why must we do our wedding separately?
