Every girl dreams of walking down the aisle in a pretty white wedding gown..
Enjoying the moment she has ever waited in her life..
Being in the spotlight just for this moment..

The Wedding Day

No, I'm not getting married yet..
But..
Someone I know is getting married soon..
This got me thinking of what I wanted and what needs to be done in future..
However..
The cost is insane..

Well, people will say just do a simple one..
You can have it at xxx instead of xxx hotel..
You can have lesser tables, just invite close friends..
Well that's for you to say right?
But have you ever thought about your parents?
You may say you wanna invite close friends and people who you are close to..

But..
Your parents will wanna invite your WHOLE extended family, neighbours, their close friends..
That itself will take me 9-10 tables..
Wow great..
And how about your friends?
Your colleagues?
How many tables do you wanna have?
And your fiancé has relatives too yeah?
Let just say 10 tables each for families,
Total 20..
And your friends & colleagues?
Your fiancé's?
Each table cost $900-$1500 depending on where you want the banquet to be..

Let's just take an average of $1300/table for 20 tables..
That will cost you $26,000..
Add in: Wedding gown, suits, make-up,
photography/videography, wedding car, photoshoot

For young couples,
how long would you need to work in order to have this $26,000-$30,000..

Why does it even cost so much?
Do we really need to do all this?
Just to show the world,
"Hey, we're getting married!"

Really?
