Wedding - should be a simple word but have become a complication to all! it should be as easy as 1, 2, 3... somehow it turns out to be a rocket science... rocket science sometimes isn't this difficult. malay wedding especially is a big complication. it does makes me stress! doesn't matter who i discuss it with, the whole thing always makes me stress.
talking about malaysian wedding - from the need to save to the planning of the big day to the big day itself. all things have to go thru the culture that have been link with it long ago. how would a person like me who have only started working to have a big saving to cater to all the expenses associate to it? few friends of mine take up loans to get married. why? because how ever you work, in this current economy situation, money will never be enough.
malay wedding have 3 occasion - if i can call it occasion - to plan for. merisik, bertunang, nikah + bersanding. (what the F is it in english... i don't even know) all need so many things to prepare for... doesn't matter if it is the bride or bridegroom... both have to prepare for so many things and it requires money! lots and lots of money... sometimes i do not understand why do we have to go thru all this big celebration... my gf said the life after the big day is more important than the big day celebration... well, i do agree with her. its not us who wants things to be so big but its our parents. they have so many friends to invite, sometime so many VIPs to invite too... MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! not that i do not want to get marry but i do have to wait till i am stable enuf to be able to watch after my family... AND i wanna give my wife something great for her to remember. its not that we get marry every year anyway. it is not easy and never will...
