yah, quite true, depends whether you want to hold a grand wedding dinner or a simple one, the "budget" package or expensive ones for photoshoot, wedding gown blahblahblah, the venue to hold your dinner, to get a house before marriage or stay with in-laws or apply after marriage...gotta consider alot of factors before heading for it...and gotta save XXtra $$ just in case...i suppose you dun wanna quarrel or argue over $$ matters after marriage rite...not to scare you but it's the reality...

very affordable to get married lah, the expensive part is the maintenance and even more expensive is the divorce part.

FireIce SG

hisoka SG

aiyah depends one lah.

if you want simple one hor no need money one only the twenty plus i think. just go rom sign liability/credit papers then can le.

then can carry on either stay at one of the parents house or if want to live outside then either rent or buy a flat/room lor

renting then no need much money

flat i dunno.

if you want to waste money then can spend as much as you like lor
