@m

32 years old, Nanjing from Nanjing

Wedding location Sichuan Leshan

Total wedding expenditure 70,000

Xiuhe, bridesmaid clothing, toasting service second -hand, 300+

White wedding dress 720

Wedding wine 50,000

Sedan 800

A small -scale dinner of relatives and friends 1000+

My classmate and my husband and I learned to drive, and in a car. Unexpectedly, the car was delivered to the kindergarten.

We got married in 2016. We and friends and relatives drove all the way from Nanjing to Leshan, Sichuan.

Three days before and after the wedding banquet, eat a stream. After all, in Leshan.

My relatives and friends had four meals together. The most expensive dinner was about 5,000 tables, and 20 people's table bags.

Supper is a small -scale dinner, every night. Sometimes twice a night, three hundred yuan can eat the wall. One bowl of one bowl of tofu brain, five dollars, adding fat intestines or steamed meat, just 7 or 8 yuan.

Afternoon tea must also be available, 3 pieces of ice powder and cold cake. Some relatives even returned to the hotel and thought about it. At that time, the takeaway was not hot. I took a tricycle for 7 yuan and sent it to the town to eat.

The most interesting thing is that when I was in love, my husband stunned me. We get married, give you the big sedan, and the tallest fireworks.

But waiting for us to get married, Leshan banned fireworks.

You see, a man's mouth.

I said, fireworks cannot be put, that Ba Lai big sedan is okay. He said, there are too many eight stations, one is enough.

The sedan seeds were rented at 800 yuan. I sat in the sedan seeds and kept a passerby to lift the curtain.

"Four advertisements?"

"No four?"

I just suffered my girlfriend, stepped on seven centimeters of high heels, took the big sun, and followed my sedan to swim in the street.

Money, it didn't take much to count. But happy is really happy.

But the wedding photos still spend too much money. 7500, it is really worthless.

Wedding location Shanghai

Wedding time 188

The total wedding cost 400,000

Wedding banquet 2,000

Si instrument camera, followed by 100,000 makeup and makeup

Wedding photos

The wedding scene recorded 200 songs for her husband

Other mortgage loans of other expenditures (basically covered by provident fund)

250,000 decoration

I really think the wedding can be removed. It is indeed too wasteful.

I calculate:

Battle: 25W. Military, photography and camera plus makeup, 10W. In Shanghai, it is medium.

I wonder if it is so scary of Shanghai in an engagement banquet in other places?

Almost one year in advance will be settled, and the Huangzhu Daoji will be set. Planning in advance and doing strategies, the emcee also has to interview, including makeup artists and trying makeup.

I have been looking for a long time, and I want to take a little story. But I don't have much budget, and I have a little conflict with my husband. He is not able to understand.

Borrowing a wedding dress, I also went to many stores. I have five sets of clothes. Going out, welcoming the yam, toasting clothes ... I took about ten stores, which took almost three or four months.

I was very impressed with a detail. Before I got married, I had dinner with my friends. They were all married and had diamond ring. Talking at the dinner table, oh this diamond ring is meaningless at all, you do n’t wear it, and the money can be saved. In Shanghai, you have to buy at least one carat in the diamond ring.

It was very disagreed at the time. Now think, it is really not necessary. It can be said that no one remembers your wedding. Only yourself.

Wedding location Beijing

Wedding time 2017

The total of the wedding spend by the woman is alone, but it is not statistical

Wedding lifting stage 20,000

Wedding room layout is 20,000

I divorced after the wedding.

4 months before the wedding, I found him derailed. I met him at the age of 23 and married at the age of 28.

Do you ask me if it hurts? pain.

But I still had a wedding. Forced yourself. I sent posts, the hotel was set, and the wedding photo was taken.

The hotel layout is prepared by myself. The hotel is luxurious. Other configurations cannot be hasty.

Money was all from myself. I don't have how much money, the banquet is 20 tables.

He said he didn't care about anything. I said, I can come by myself. At that time, when you arrive, we will perform well, toasting, what should be on the stage.

I am from Beijing, there is no custom of color gifts. The general situation in Beijing is that the man provides a house, and the woman has some downsome.

Our family also has a house, I also have a house, and I have a car myself. His mother gave me a bank card, and I returned it to him on the day of the wedding.

On the afternoon of the wedding, I immediately distinguished from him, but he was surprised that I thought the wedding was so real. I no longer wanted to separate from him. He planned to continue with me.

But I have decided to divorce.

We have experienced the feelings of comrades -in -arms and spend so much together, and are reluctant to that person. Real determination is a week before the wedding. Just like going to a stage to speak, it may always be nervous, but the moment you board the stage, you will relax.

Suddenly I wanted to understand that it took decades and it was too painful.

Wedding cost 50,000 4

Wedding 30,000

Ring 1000+

Wedding dress 2000+

Parental Dress 700+

Other expenditure decoration 70,000

We fell in love in 2008 and got married in 11 years. All the details of the wedding are organized by the two of us.

We don't have much budget. Before the marriage, we renovated the house. My husband used the computer painting design drawing. I started to decorate myself, brushed the wall, base, and pasted gypsum.

When we got married, we did not take the relatives. We took a taxi to the wedding scene and fell asleep.

We watched a lot of hotels in the wedding, and finally selected a lawn hotel to host a lawn wedding.

My parents are rural, and rarely left my hometown before. They said for the first time to see such a wedding.

Before getting married, I took my dad to buy a suit, leather shoes, and shirts.

During the wedding, when he entered my hand, I couldn't help crying.

For the first time, I saw my dad so handsome. My dad worked in his hometown, wearing green, blue camouflage clothes all year round, and I rarely saw my dad wearing other clothes.

Dad stood beside me and smiled very brightly.

When he handed my hand to my husband's hand, he needed to say that I handed your daughter to you. I rest assured that he said it, I don't know if it was nervous or excited.

Before getting married, my parents did not agree with my husband and I got married. I went out to work early. My husband was from Beijing. They were always worried that I met a scammer.

Now that we have been married for eleven years, we have our own children, and we are all good.

27 years old, native of Nanyang, Henan, now lives in Zhengzhou

Marriage time 21 October

Marriage location Henan Nanyang

Wedding expenditure 30,000

30,000 out of the cabinet feast

Three gold 20,000+

Basic model of wedding photos 6000 +

Cauli 130,000 8

Marry 130,000 8

In fact, according to our local wedding customs, we did not spend a lot of money in our marriage.

For example, Sanjin is nearly 30,000 according to ordinary standards.

But my parents alone prepared me "Babu and Eight Fights", that is, four -piece set and the like, it took about 30,000.

They are all things that are not willing to buy, silk quilts, high -end down quilts.

We are not a wealthy family. But when preparing the dowry, they seemed to don't even think of the price, and they wanted to give me the best.

Dad opened a card in my name a long time ago, and the card was a gift and a dowry. It is called "double accompaniment", which is how much gift gifts and how much to marry.

In private, I secretly stuffed me several times. I'm afraid I will not be enough after marriage.

At the wedding scene, Dad took out a piece of paper, printed with red paper. I wrote a letter to me:

"I have a loved daughter at home, but I have to face a female marriage."

He didn't cry at the time, but his eyes were red.

@小 乐

30 years old, from Hebei, settled in Beijing

Wedding location Hebei

Wedding time 2022 October

The total wedding budget 100,000

Wedding banquet 30,000

ring

Buying a house for other expenditures (totaling 6 million)

We received a certificate last year and will return to my hometown in October this year to have a wedding.

I plan to be simple in the wedding, and it can save it -don't have three golds, no ring, hotels are also ordinary.

That's it, it takes about 100,000.

Originally I wanted to save more. My mother said, no, she has to invite her friends, not too bad.

Seriously, the pressure is quite strong. Last year, in order to buy a house in Beijing, our couple spent all the cash flow and borrowed money. The mortgage had to pay for 25 years.

The three -bedroom house has a total price of 6 million.

Buying a three -bedroom room is to plan to take care of parents in the future, and also consider children.

The house faces south on three sides, and the lighting is very good. There are schools before and after. When we buy a house, we think that even if we do n’t mix well in the future, these three -bedrooms are enough for us to live for a lifetime, which is enough to carry the future of our family.

My husband and I are a junior high school classmate. I have been in love in college and have been together for more than ten years.

They are all foreigners, and their families are very ordinary. In order to settle in Beijing, all income must be invested in the mortgage. Frequent anxiety, but also full of hope.

Listening to people often, marriage is expensive. But many of my same age and I have come to marriage in love. The cost of marriage itself is not so high. The important thing is that after fancy this person, he wants to face the future firmly with him.
