When i see facebook posts during cny, ironically i feel happy that i didn't have to spend money on new clothes. I guess after all these years i still dont care about new clothes. A waste of money for a one day affair if u ask me. Then again, wedding too is a one day affair. Which explains why i am struggling so much. Im trying to be logical and keep it cheap but theres a part of me that just want this and that. Like i got totally sold on chris ling pws when i attended this sales talk by zwedding. The photos look really nice. Theres been a lot of soul searching what is impt to me so that i know what to cut out without feeling a sense of loss. Ultimately i need to balance financials for my house n retirement n kids n travel lol. With the big picture in mind, i need to be mindful of my wedding expenditure.
Im willing to forgo things like bridesmaid dresses, gatecrash, tea ceremony, engagement ring, invitation cards, wedding favors. Im proud that my wedding band is just $300 each. I shudder when i think about couples who rent a convertible just for wedding. But to each his or her own. Im still thinking about AD video. I also wan a pretty gown and so far zwedding gowns do look wonderful but aiya zwedding considered quite ex. Then i think to myself i have worked so hard for the last few years, i shudnt be so stingy to give myself a memorable day. Then again how does one compare this one day to say a trip to nepal for ABC trekking or a family trip. Few thousands can go for a week holiday lor. Few thousands can also make the house that im going to look at everyday nicer. Thats why it is so hard right. Main point is i want to only spend on things that truly matter to me. It is not about being budget all the way, but being selective about what i want and spend accordingly.
