In
the middle of this year, our cousin's sister intends to give up her
single life. Let's take a peek at what list of simple wedding
preparations we will hold.
The Concept of Wedding Party
From
the beginning, Arsas and Drina had agreed to hold a marriage contract
in KUA only. Usually, the marriage contract is held in the residence or
residential area of the bride, but because the conditions are not
possible (related to the difference between the ID card and domicile, Drina), we
decided to choose KUA based on the domicile of Arsas and the family of
Arsas that will hold a simple Thanksgiving.
The
main concept is a simple event to adjust the available funds. Arsas
himself honestly mentions the nominal funds available. With not so many
funds and not expecting parents or family to help with financial problems,
we hope this concept can run according to what Arsas and Drina crave.
The concept of thanksgiving is to adjust the available funds not funds that adjust the concept.
the Committee
Initially,
Arsas said there was no need to form a committee. But I argue, no
matter how simple, it needs organized planning. Because it is impossible
for Arss or Mother Ars directly to arrange the course of the event
in KUA or in the place of Thanksgiving. You need someone else’s help.
Finally, Arsas' sister was appointed as the person in charge of the
event in KUA, and I and Zauji were responsible at the Thanksgiving
event.
On the sidelines of taking care of the claim of taspen, undergoing physiotherapy, and duties to Payakumbuh and other cities, I and Zauji are excited to realize our beloved sister's wedding dream for 6 weeks from the sermon to the adab.
To
save money, we asked Zauji's nephew for help to become an MC and my
cousin to be a photographer. Another cousin promised to help make up
Arsas's mother and other elders. All three joined in as professional wedding organizers
differently, so many provided input. All are willing to work without pay,
even though in the end we allocate funds to pay for their services.
Be an arrangement of events that are made as simple as possible. The
funny thing is when we have to choose a family representative to give a
welcome. There are no pawns who accept that we know we come from a
family who are groggy when speaking in public.
Finally,
one of the cousins accepted. Zauji himself was ‘forced’ to be a prayer
reader because no one was willing. Zauji even memorized his text for
days
Invitation Guests
The
number of invited guests agreed to be limited to a maximum of 40 people
and divided into two for the families of the bride and groom. But since
Arsas came from a (very) big family, it seems like this is the most
difficult discussion.
As
WO, I insist we must be ‘relent’ if we can’t invite everyone. Arsas's
mother also pleaded with understanding to many relatives about the reason why
only a few guests were invited. There is no need to ignore protests or
comments from many people. Because in fact all the preparation for this
simple marriage (especially funds) will be charged to Arsas and his
family only.
Perhaps the quote "Besides Donation Is Prohibited From Arranging", is correct.
From
the results of the discussion, there were 53 guests who were expected
to attend (already detailed from the bride, parents, sister/sister
of the bride, her elders, and companions). The cousin who counted was the
cousin who accompanied only the elder.
This is the number that we used to order the number of menus.
Venue Wedding
We
plan to hold a Thanksgiving in a restaurant or cafe because the
condition of Arsa's and Drina's houses does not allow us to invite a crowd. In
addition to saving the cost of renting a building, we also do not need
to bother choosing catering because it is directly provided by the
restaurant or cafe as a wedding venue.
Location should be considered, especially the distance between KUA and the
venue. When Menong’s friends invite family from outside the city, make
sure to be close to the toll gate or not to pass through relatively
jammed roads or there is a road closure.
The capacity of the venue
can be adjusted to the number of invited guests. Some venues do not
have a special room, aka mixed with other visitors. This will certainly
cause discomfort in this very private event.
Do
not forget to always ask about the type of menu (traditional, western, or
contemporary) and the way it is presented. Most restaurants or cafes
still list prices outside the tax (10–15%), so Menong’s friends should
be more thorough in calculating.
In addition, some cafes can only serve in the form of a box instead of a prasman (note the speed when hosting an elder).
The operating hours of each venue will be different; adjust to the event hours. Also make sure the speed of the chef preparing the presentation is such that guests do not wait long.
Not all restaurants or cafes have adequate parking lots for two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. Parking outside the venue area is often not safe because it is beyond the supervision of the parking attendant.
Not all venues
provide free facilities for parasmanan, cutlery, cleanliness,
electricity, invitation guest chairs, sound systems, security,
generators, and additional space. In addition, ask also about the maximum time
for the use of the venue because some venues will set additional costs.
Perk Perk
Although
not obligatory, of course we want the event to look beautiful. We do
not need room decoration because the room used already looks charming.
We
just prepared other knickknacks such as dowries framed using the box I
used to use when I got married; the money box we made from a large
plastic jar with a lid that I sewed myself from a cloth fur decorated
with ribbons; guest books; paper plates for cakes; one artificial rose
stalk; balloon and fan-shaped love; 1 fruit as a photo sweetener; tissue
and toothpicks; and plastic to wrap food.
Of
the five important points, Menong’s friends detail in detail the
simple wedding preparations that must be done. Everyone has a dream
wedding that they want to make. When the funds are limited, how do they
make it happen with cheap wedding costs?
