Weddings...

[kevinp]

How much did your wedding cost? Napaisip lang ako kasi a friend of mine is getting married in Oct and yung buget nila for the whole thing is around 500k. I was thinking, pwede mo na pang-down yan sa isang condo dito sa makati or pambili ng kotse.

Naisip ko tuloy, kung oras na para sa wedding ko (mga 4-6 years from now if everything goes well), I wouldn't be willing to spend that much for a wedding.

Anong gagawin nyo if you wanna get married, both can afford married life (both guy and girl working and living in their own place), but can't afford a wedding? hehe!

[kimpOy]

nung nagpasakal ako, budget ko lang is 200k, as in tipid lahat, pero hindi naman chipipay, buti na lang at may nag chip in sa family ko kaya lumuwag ang budget
btw that was year 2000

[ghosthunter]

there is always a legal wedding... all you need is a judge and a couple of witnesses for the "ceremony".

[chieffy]

pareho lang kami ng budget ni sir kimpoy...you can work on a budget...simple lang wedding namin at marami ding sumagot sa ibang gastos tulad ng wedding ring, cake, invitations, flowers, he he pati reception...buti na lang madaming true friends si misis :mrgreen:

[kevinp]

di ba mabigat parin sa bulsa ang 200k?

ghosthunter, no-no sa mga traditional families ang legal wedding diba? tsaka mga kikay na gf di papayag dyan. diba nga laging sinasabi "every woman dreams of her wedding day even as a little girl", kawawa naman gf kung dedeprive mo sa kanya yun (unless na pumayag din siya sa legal wedding).

If i had my way, mga close friends lang at family ang iimbitahin ko kung ikakasal na ako. deins na yung mga pinsan/tito/tita na di ko naman nakakausap. kaya lang, nung wedding ng sis ko, laking gulo kasi dami niya di ininvite. i think she spent mga 200k din sa wedding nya.

[boybi]

mahirap talaga mag decide kung sino dapat invite or hindi. nung wedding ko, meron akong isang customer na hindi na-invite. inisip ko naman kasi na nasa manila pa yung wedding, mahihirapan lang sya kung i-invite ko dahil ma-obligahan syang mag-attend. kahit sunday kasi may work sya, so sayang din one day na income nya. tapos gagastos pa sya pang regalo ang pamasahe. so hindi ko na nga ininvite. ayun, after the wedding, hindi na bumili sa akin. pero product parin namin ang benta nya, sa ibang dealer namin sya kumukuha ngayon.

Depende siguro sa pagdadala mo yan....I only had a legal wedding and we are married na for 8 years. We don't have (never have) any hassle....although before nagpaparinig ang mother-in-law ko that we should get a church wedding pa.

My gastos was less than P20,000 (biggest single gastos was spent sa rental ng L300 van). I fed at least a dozen people (family members of mine and my wife and at least 8 other friends). It was a lunch in Sampaloc Lake....my god food was great....no wedding dress for my wifey - just here best sunday dress.

Di hamak na mas marami na akong narinig na broken marriages kahit kasal pa sila sa pinakagrandeng paraan.

Bottomline nasa inyong dalawa yun...hindi naman kamag-anak nya ang pakakasalan mo e.

just my 2 cents. peace.

Ako pangarap ko talaga big wedding. Hehehe. Hindi man magarbo (at kahit medyo tinipid), basta nandun lahat ng mga loved ones and friends ko.

I agree :P Civil wedding din kami ni misis..... sa December sana ang Church wedding namin kaya lang napunta sa downpayment ng bahay dito yung pang gastos sana namin, hehehe. Para huwag masyadong maghimutok si misis, napangakuan ko na lang sya ng sarili nyang kotse this December. Next year na lang siguro kapag nakakalakad na yung ring bearer namin.....

Budget nga pala namin was $20K pero hindi lahat yun sa kasal..... yung iba para sa pasalubong namin. San damukal kasi ang pamilya ni misis dyan sa Pinas, hehehe.

[Karding]

$5K lang budget namin for 2005 (aside from honeymoon and wedding rings). Malay mo swertehin at madagdagan pa :wink: close relatives lang ang invited mga 100 ppl.

A friend of mine got married in 1998 and the total excluding the ring and honeymoon was $15K. Then the total gifts they received was $35K 8O naalala ko yung sinabi nya sakin noon, business din daw ang wedding :mrgreen:

[kuroy]

Grabe na talaga ang mahal ng mga gastusin ngayon...

Noong ikinasal kami ni esmi like 8 yrs ago, ang nagastos lang namin around 30kPHp. I was only 22 yrs old then. Nanggaling ang funds sa small computer shop ko noon.

Medyo marami pang handa noon like sa probinsya. May handa sa bahay nila and sa amin din. Includes everything from dress, rings, cake, video, decorations, giveaway, etc. Sa panahon ngayon talagang mahina ang 200kPhp.

But it's all worth it. Noong magkaasawa na ako gumanda ang kutis ko...hehehe nawala ang pimples, etc...as in naging parang kutis baby...try ninyo guys.. sure yan!

make the wedding simple. use the money in investing to start a family. its the best practical thing to do these times. weddings are forgotten for lets say a month and the most important thing to do for a starting family is to survive after the wedding. imho.

[kevinp]

I think one can also look at it from a utilitarian point of view. the more (rich) folks you invite, the more gifts you get (tama yung sabi ni Karding). :twisted: this is what i told my sister when she was having trouble with my mom while planning her wedding (mom wanted big wedding, sis wanted small wedding).

On the other hand, seeing the wedding from a utilitarian viewpoint is like "bastardizing" the solemnity of the event. This is what my sis told me in response (and to some degree, i agree with her statement).

[chieffy]

mas masarap talaga i-celebrate iyan with your closest relatives and friends...yung mga kilala mo talaga...100 guests lang ang nagpunta sa amin out of 120... maliit lang talaga...

Agree ulit ako dito. Kaya kami, pag may EXTRA money at saka kami magpapakasal. Ayaw naming mag-ipon para sa kasal. Get the drift, hehehe.
