My budget meal wedding π
While exploring my cellphone to delete some apps and games that I do not use anymore, I opened the ISAVE MONEY apps. The application where I used to entry all my expenditure and income before, during the time that I am working in order for me to track where our money go incase I need to remember. Coz there are times that I was wondering where my money go, how come that I do not have money anymore before the pay out lol. And I saw the saved budget and expenditure of our wedding in that apps.
2 years ago when me and my ex boyfriend now my husband π€£ decided to get married in civil ceremony. It was the peak of covid19 pandemic where all your movements are limited. We decided to get married on our 2nd year anniversary as girlfriend and boyfriend which is Oct 8. One month before our desired date we already budgeted all the expenses that we will be needing. Since there are still covid pandemic we only invited limited guest and our budget is also limitedπ. Actually this is the reason why we get married during pandemic to avoid lots of guest charrrππ.
We came up to the budget of 35,400 but by Sept 1 our actual cash is only 24,300 π
I want to share how we came up to that amount
Here are list of all our expenses
We came up to the supposed budget of 35k coz at first we want a gold but not that expensive wedding ring but we end up buying silver instead. And our souvenir is mug
And I just wear tshirt instead of dress on my wedding day. Coz thats where I am comfortable with π. We bought couple shirt at Me & U shop tru online.
Since gatherings are not allowed that time we decided to have 2 reception. One is in cabalen where we ate with our friends. We chose this coz its already unlimited food. While my family and some of our neighbor is in the house thats why we put some decor for picture purposesπ. Thanks to my older brother who created the letter cut and to my nieces for doing the back drop π
And our wedding cake is a gift from my baker friend π
We exceed the budget for the house receptions maybe because I did not consider the alcoholic beverages while budgeting lol.
With regards to pampering amounting to 2000 I am not sure if I went to salon for a hair rebond π and I also dont remembet what are those unexpected expense π.
The day after the wedding we travel to Tagaytay for honeymoon charrr
That travel is also budget meal since we just spent 3k.
Mostly of all the girls, they dream to walk in the aisle and wear a beautiful wedding gown, and I am one of them. But in reality wedding is not a fairytale, it is not how grand your wedding is, it's not how expensive and beautiful your wedding gown is. It is all about the reason why both of you decided to get married and how long you are willing to fullfill and to hold on to all your promises to each other.
I know we have still a long journey to go, we cannot say yet whats ahead of us. I just hope that our marriage will last a lifetime π.......
