Actually ang nakakamahal sa kasal ay hindi naman ang church. Dito nga sa amin 1500 pwede ka ng ikasal. Ang nakakamahal talaga ay yung gusto ng mag asawa like venue, food, wedding car, entourage, ring, dress, etc. in fact hindi naman nagsabi ang church na magpa bongga kayo.

I'm glad my fiance sent me this. We're planning an intimate wedding ourselves and tbh konti lang ang content in the Philippine context (mukhang hindi pa kasi ganoon ka mainstream ang intimate weddings sa Pinas.) Thanks for this!

[@ThatsSoNik]

Happy it could help! Hope you have a beautiful intimate wedding 💚

[@peequliar]

@@ThatsSoNik thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@elennfernandez]

I'm glad I found this. ☺️ Parang nahihiya ako n'a hindi ko ma invite ang iba kung family and relatives and friends on my wedding but we are so tight sa budget kasi bibili pa kami ng plane ticket for Europe and settle down there plus mga papers pa.
Ang gagastosan namin sa wedding ay yung mga
Papers
Judge
Fabrics for our outfit kasi si mama ang magtatahi
Photographer
Make up artist
Transportation
Bouquet
Shoes
Souvenir
Foods
Cake
I hope smooth lang lahat. Maybe I wouldn't mind sa sasabihin ng ibang family members ko. Tho, nagooverthink parin ako dahil diko Sila ma invite lahat.

[@ThatsSoNik]

What matters is you do it on your terms 💚 That way you know it’s going to be worth it talaga!

[@gladyspahuyo878]

Will definitely do this on our wedding ❤

[@ThatsSoNik]

Congrats in advance!! 🥳🥳

[@musingsofamomma621]

What did you do on the separate days with your friends and other guests? As in kain lang po ba? Very interested to do this on our wedding as introverted couples! 💗

[@ThatsSoNik]

Yup! Kain and kwentuhan lang talaga :) No program, styling, or meal courses. Here’s the breakdown:
My extended family - reserved a private area for 20pax at Rustic Mornings for lunch only
My partner’s extended family - reserved a private area for breakfast only at Twin Lakes Hotel
My partner’s barkada 16pax - airbnb overnight staycation at Antipolo
My barkada 6pax - dinner/karaoke, date to be confirmed pa
Estimate amount to be spent less than 70k for all
P.S. A lot of our relatives actually liked that diretso kain na sila agad pagdating and chikahan nalang in between hehe

Parang eto ung sakin got anxiety gosh from extrovert to introvert i really want to marry my parter pero takot po ako sa sobrang daming tao ang tanda na namin ng partner ko na o overwhelmed ako sa mga napapanood ko wedding andami tao . Pwede pala un takot kasi ako baka un nga mga invite ko ma stress ako mashado baka di magsipunta kasi busy pero meron ako mga sure na dadating ung mga real na real na real friends fear ko talaga mga ceremony 😢 ung tipong professional ka sa work wala ka takot sa work pag dating sa mga ceremony takot na takot ako .

I wanted this too but I will get married in Bali because my partner's a Balinese... it's so hard T.T

[@marylourainevasquez7819]

[@ThatsSoNik]

Yes!

[@Lalalaraaa]

Hi! Do you have ninongs and ninangs po sa wedding? :)

[@ThatsSoNik]

Yup! One pair for me and another pair for my husband. Although 3 out of 4 couldn’t attend the wedding so nagproxy nalang yung parents namin :)

[@jimmylynlomboy7765]

Hi po, interested po ako sa wedding nyo. May entourage po ba kayo?

[@ThatsSoNik]

Nope. Diretso wedding ceremony nalang talaga

Hello! Congratulations on your wedding. 🤍
How much did you spend altogether for you intimate wedding? How many were in your guest list po? :)

[@zaldrichpelaez]

I second this. I'm curious as well about the cost breakdown, just to have an idea.
