What’s My Budget?

Everyone asked me .. what is my budget for the wedding..?? that way they can rally around . .and help with other stuff. if needed.  I could use any help that i can get . and having as little guests as possible is my aim.  And since only “real” friends are gonna be invited.. i’ll say . my budget has gotta be only $5,000.

Now if i were in Singapore.. i donch think that this will be possible.. but since i’m in Canada.. everything is simplified.   Wedding dress, the man’s shirt and pants.. and nice shoes.. and food & wine for the wedding .. plus invitation cards, flowers.. and dress for the daughter.. and some extras for wedding favors.  Arrrghhhh..!!!   $5,000 isn’t enough… ?? is it..??
