Agree with you bros EQAddict and 1D4LV,- IMO,- wedding is just a door.

Others may argue that it should be grand because it happens only once in a lifetime. And yes, I noticed from the recent events that we have attended,- it is getting to be grander and grander and grander like outdoing the previous ones... Such an entertainment and spectacle,- yes!,- but what happens next is the most important stuff in life.....

Yes,- we had a simple one,- even if some people on the sides (amuyong) were asking for more... I told my xgf that this was my budget only as I have lined up so much for our own new place... Simple and true,- no bells or whistles...

But, we were by ourselves, debt-free a month-after....

bro.macsd - GM ng a few branches(lang) in our area and in the south....

Yes bros, napagusapan na namin ni GF yan, no need for a fancy wedding. But even simple ones can still reach half a million nowadays. I guess my only non-negotiables is good documentation (photo and video) - it happens once in a lifetime, but we can always relive it.

Matagal pa naman, malayo pa ang dulo ng med school hehe.

Do women contribute to wedding nowadays or it's still 100% shouldered by the man? 3 of my guy friends got married in 2014 and their GFs contributed to the wedding too.

BTT: I am not saving up for anything. My salary is too small for me to have savings

it depends on the agreement between two parties.

My GF is still a student so for sure I'll be covering everything for the house and wedding. [emoji23]

BTT: saving up for the 80% full payment of the condo. Paid the 10% DP and the the other 10% spread over 3 years. But the unknown is if I still have a job on the 3rd year to get a loan for the 80% so I started to save as early as I can to be able to pay the balance in cash.
