Our Wedding Video

Having gone through the tedious but exceptionally fulfilling route of wedding planning, we realize that we didn’t need to empty our pockets and drain our bank accounts in order to make ‘the’ day memorable. I strongly encourage all soon-to-be-weds and those eventually planning to tie the knot to start with a realistic budget and work around it. The budget doesn’t need to be hefty but it can’t be too slim either. Work with what you have, keep some for savings and trim the budget as you go along.

There are some things that both you and your husband are willing to pay for and some things that simply stays on the “nice to have” lists. Be frank and open about this and learn to each other’s expectations then sort things out at ground level. I’ve heard of couples that went into debt after their big day because expectations were met but it was way beyond what they have. The last thing you’d ever want is to start worrying about finances when you’re suppose to enjoy each other and the simple things that life brings to you.

As for our wedding, though it was thoroughly detailed (thanks to my super meticulous husband) but we didn’t spend a sizable sum instead worked with a comfortable budget and incorporated the little details that stemmed from our heart. We paid for what mattered and enjoyed every second of it. And after everything is said and done, we have memories of that day vividly captured on video for us to watch on a rainy day, when friends come over, when nostalgia knocks on doors and when we’re looking through our photos in awe of how God makes all things beautiful in His time.

Here’s the 6 mins teaser of the full video (45 mins). For those who’d like to watch full video – give me a buzz, arrange for a time and we’d have you over for lunch, tea or dinner!

Thanks Deb! It was really fun shooting your wedding. I thought your speech (including Terence's!) were really meaningful, all 20 minutes of it! :) This is the start of a wonderful journey discovering each other over a lifetime.
