In recent days, I was busy with wedding preparations my younger brother, This preparation, made ??me a little stress. Because we do not have the preparation of money, because, this marriage, not premeditated. This marriage must occur because the bride was pregnant. to hold this event. Wedding, we made ??a simple, but it also takes money that is not small. We are forced to pawn a motorcycle, to cover the cost of the wedding.

I have seen some very nice and simple weddings that were lovely. I barrowed a pantsuit from a girlfriend and we had it at the judge's chambers. You don't have to spend alot of money to have something memorable. I hope it turns out well for them and that they can find some happiness with all that is going on.

So there are certain things you have to do to make the marriage legitimate?

We just hold a simple wedding, but we still have to spend money that is not a little, mainly to the continuity of the wedding ceremony, we had to pay some reservations, for legitimate marriage.

Friend if you have the problem of money then why not get marriage performed in temple or in your God place in a simple way. Because I know in the marriage much more money spent and then we can fill it.

We had just held a wedding at the Office of Religious Affairs. But still, we need money not less.

A good wedding is a simple one, without costing a lot of money. because it is easier and we can avoid spendthrift. May Allah gives us ease and bless. aamiin. May The Creator of the world keeps us in the right path and gives us strength to walk God's right path. aamiin.

Amen. Hopefully, InsyaAllah, we had a wedding, in accordance with Islamic Shari'a. We also conducted with great simplicity, because of limited funding. May Allah, give us convenience, and the wedding my brother could bring blessings. Amen.

So why are you paying for your brother's wedding? Is that the custom there? Here it would either be the parents, or the people would pay for it themselves.

I helped my parents. We help each other. I do not pay all.

Hi indahfth I am sorry to hear the financial strain your brother and new wife has burdened you and your family with. Isn't it something how the errors of others become burdens to the whole family. I knew you were going to do the impossible because you are such a good woman. You will be blessed someday. I am happy to hear that although it is a difficult situation that you at least managed a solution. Bless you indahfth!

I agree that weddings can be both stressful and expensive! The planning can be gruelling and the cost enormous and in your brother’s case I guess he didn’t have the opportunity to save for a wedding celebration and I guess he has a baby to consider afterward and they are not cheap either! He is luck he has you to help him with this situation. I hope you manage all the costs and get the motorcycle back!

I know weddings are expensive. I had found ways to save money on my wedding. I made my own bouquets and boutineers out of silk flowers. I wore a simnple dress and have a barbeque reception with hotdogs, hamburgers and chips. I made punch which was cheaper than soda. I served no alchol. I had a set budget and stuck with it. I am sorry that you did not have much time to prepare, but I hope that all went well.

First of all, congratulate on your brother's soon to be wedding. Second of all, I felt sorry about you have to pawn some property to make this wedding event to happen. Why not have a simply wedding party, just for the family members of both sides. A lovely marriage won't mean a extravagant wedding party to show off to everyone. It can be simple or simply a dinner get together will be fine. Everything just a protocol.

Yes. Weddings cost a lot. Hopefully, all can be right again.

Thankfully my brother was able to save for his wedding but he still needed help because there was really too many expense. I chipped in by buying me and my mom's gowns as well as the souvineers. To save on the souvineers we made them ourselves. the outcome was so unique and all the guests loved them.

It is one of the duties that we need to do it and I am imagine it that it surely is a very stressful task especially when it comes to money. All things we do now cost money. Please take your time and think over it and spend wisely.

Marriage arrangements could be stressing and costly. I am just amazed how you handle things there, and you endured everything. You're brother is much lucky to have you as his sister. Sorry to hear that you have to pawn some properties just to make the marriage possible. All the best wishes for you and your brother.. Hope all will be well soon. God bless you indahfth...

Yes you are right. Wedding preparations are too expensive. My advice is, if possible we need to make it more wiser in organizing our wedding, since it's just for a day. What is important, is that you still have somthing in your pocket in starting a family.
