Our civil wedding took place on July 25, 2019 and we were solemnized by an RTC Judge in his chamber or court . We had a really short guest list, no reception program, no giveaways, no invitations, or hair and makeup artists. In addition, we didn’t have our own entourage, but we were totally okay with that. Thankfully, our wedding expenses did not turn out to be as much as a typical wedding today. But surely, we did enjoy ourselves and we had fun!

Tips
Our wedding outfits were bought in the mall, and we only bought clothes. Also, our shoes and accessories were our old belongings. In addition to this, wedding cake was also sponsored by one of our family members. If you can get more stuff sponsored by your friends and family, that would be a big saving!
Finally, this breakdown contains a rough estimate of our actual expenses. Not included are our additional expenses on extra pax, extra restaurant meals during our stay, and other service – related fees. We also had expenses on our gender reveal items, but I did not include it here.
