The "MARRIAGE" Proposal 3

Before you decided to walk down the aisle with your partner. Have you wondered how much it would actually cost to just get married in Singapore?As of any other day, I was shot the question of when (what age) I wanted to get married. And as of any other day, I was trying hard to think of an answer to push the date as late as possible to deter HER from asking me this question every now and then. HIM: "30 years old lor..."HER: " Huh! Why so late? 26 to 28 cannot meh?"HIM: "Cannot lar! Where got money?"Well... well... MONEY! My argument was not without credibility after all. SHE, unconvinced by what I have said, got us to do a quick calculation and I was surprised by the final figure. According to our rough estimation, - Assuming 40 tables, each costing $1000, that's already amounts to $40K. Woah!
- And as HER friend suggested, $10K for a nice honeymoon for 2. Still not too bad.
- Miscellaneous costs including photo shoot, clothings, blah blah blah... another $10K should be a safe estimate.
That sums up to $60K already and not including possible housing down payment, renovation cost etc, etc. We realized that it is seriously not cheap! Not forgetting I am still a student, haven't earn a single cent or secure a job yet and still need to pay back my tuition fee loan.
HIM: "So now you know..."
HER: "Ai yerrrr...... No need to get married liao lor.
(Phew! Safe for now.)
