My Wedding List

I’m in the midst of planning my own wedding, and so at the risk of appearing like a Mat Kahwin2, I thought that I might as well share my own list with all of you.

This list is by no means complete and exhaustive, but my fiancée and myself are really chilled out and we’d want nothing more than a simple affair.

Unfortunately, that is totally out of the question as she will be the first in her family to be married. We’re still not planning for something grand, but I think the guest-list will be quite long (for her side at least).

Feel free to copy this list and use it as a starting point for your own.

In no particular order:

Kursus Rumah Tangga
ROMM Interview Session
Kadi
Photographer (I can’t be taking my own shots, can I?)
Invitation Cards
Venue
Decor
Catering
Wedding Favors (Berkat)
Entertainment
Hadrah / Kompang
Bridal Car
Wedding Bands (rings, not music!! ☺)
Mak / Pak Andam + Baju Pengantin
Baju Nikah (We intend to tailor our own)
Hantaran (still saving for it!)
Dulang + Gifts

And that’s it! There could be more, but I think that the list above pretty much covers what we’ll need for the day. I’ve also included stuff like hadrah / kompang which is not that important to us, but more for the sake of pleasing our parents. (Read this to have an idea of what I mean).

I’ve also taken the liberty to exclude stuff like inai (my fiancée is trying to escape from it), and also stuff like bunga telur, sireh dara etc – because I know nuts about it and I’ll just leave it to my mum / makcik2. I’m sure my fiancée will be doing the same.

I guess this is what you get when two ‘slack’ individuals decide to marry one another ☺.
