Today marks 1 month of my marriage. I wanted to post a thread on how simple & self arranged wedding ceremony we had. So today is the day!
I bear the financial responsibilities of my family after papa, so I know worth of money we earn. I dont waste it on things that dont matter

Nikkah ceremony was arranged outside my home and only close family members were invited. Groom brought his parents & siblings only. Total gathering was less than 50. Arrangement looks lavish in pictures but it not costed much. Had a fine catering. Did no rasmen (dhudh pilayi etc)

I wore ami ki shadi ka dupata which gave bridal look in zero cost. Made contrast plain dress so I can wear it casually afterwards. Costed 10k. Bought jewellary from roadside hawker at liberty for 1200 PKR. Make up was done by my younger sister& #39;s friend at her home for only 3500/-

My husband belongs to a caste/family who takes dowry as a must. Breaking that stereotype in a conservative family was his milestone to achieve. He set our home with every single thing himself; From furniture to electronics. I brought minsa and my dearest car in dowry :)

For walima, I bought ready made maxi & dupatta for 18k. Cant recall the shop name but its around food point of liberty. Wore same sandles on both days(Nazar to aty nai). Got jewellary a bit costly than nikkah. 6k. Make up by my colleague& #39;s Mrs. Salon for 10k. (He paid for all)

He booked a hall without DJ and extra floral decor. His focus was on cleanliness and food quality. (Hall owner preserved the day event floral decor). We hired a photographer from close reference who charged 6k only for both days event. Allhamdulilah we both did it on our own.

I made very simple and casual dresses.( He gave me money to make from his side too). Not a single heavy kam wala suit. Bought 4 formal & casual shoes in total. Brought my joggers from ami& #39;s home. Did minsa& #39;s essential shopping too.
