What happen next once after your girlfriend has accepted your proposal? Of course it is time to plan your wedding unless you are planning to short-change her of this once a lifetime experience.

However, do you have enough money for your wedding? Some will say “yes”, others will say “no”. Some may even reply “not sure”.

Wedding is a mega project which needs lots of money to pay for lots of expenses. You will need at least S$4000 for your bridal package (including your wedding gowns, bridal car, make-up and so on), another $2000 for your wedding videographer, another $2000 for your wedding photographer, at least several tens of thousands as deposit for your new home plus renovation and so on.

Wow, I can take a day to list down all the wedding expenses till all the nitty gritty stuff!

Congratulation if you are born with a silver spoon or you are earning at least S$5000 a month and you can easily tide over with the add-on from your wife-to-be’s salary.

However for most of us who are from the middle-income strata and do not have much savings, what can we do?

So how do you earn more money within a period of time while not losing your job:

1. The easiest way is you can give home tuition. This is going to be very draining of your energy and mind.

I remember I took up tuition 7 days a week and I rushed for tuition once after work. Each tuition would last from 6pm to 8pm and another one from 8pm to 10pm.

Do you know why you end up spending more than you should? Yes or no?

Because from the very start, the bridal studios, being commercial companies are out there to raise their profits and empty every cent out of your pocket if they can.

There are a few techniques that the sales team are trained to do and in fact trained to do very well.

1. Making you feel at ease

The sales team is out there to be your friend. Won’t you trust them more and believe more in what they recommend if they are your friends?

It is a sales technique of making you lower your resistance to accept their sales pitch. First they make you feel defenseless. Then, they strike and eat you up or to be precise, eat your money up. All of them!

2. Upselling

Thought you are just going to spend what you have initially planned? Nope, you are wrong. You are going to spend at least 1.5 times to 4 times more if you are not careful.

Making wedding works is more than preparing the wedding tasks and fulfilling them.

It is going to be tiring and frustrating!!! Very frustrating!!!

Wedding-related tasks include getting the bridal studio, contacting hotels, calling and making appointment with the wedding photographers, food tasting and many more.

These tasks are simple to do. The hardest part is how to get your soon-to-be spouse to remain supportive all the way. And not just till the wedding.

There is still a very long way to go.

I have always told brides and grooms that the mini-quarrels they have during their wedding preparation is just the tip of the iceberg and it is normal to have disagreement once in a while.

More will come along the way and in bigger quality and quantity!!!

My wife and I do have conflicts too and this is absolutely normal.

Couples who tell me over the tele-consultation that they have never argued before in their lives are abnormal.

Why having conflicts while preparing wedding is healthy?

Wedding rings have always been the most important jewelry needed for a wedding.

No wedding ring equals to no wedding.

For most men, entering the jewlery shop or surfing jewlry websites before their wedding may be their first time buying an actual wedding ring.

From DanforthDiamond.com Learning Centre, I have learnt many helpful tips that are going to benefit both the men and women who are still deciding what kind of wedding rings to purchase.

Here are 3 Hints that are going to help you to make a wiser choice when choosing your wedding rings:

1. What is your budget?

The first question to ask yourself is how much you have set aside for your wedding ring.

From my experience, the first question that the sales-person will ask you is how much you are willing to spend on your wedding rings.

By giving the sales-person a range of your budget, it makes the whole shopping experience easier, meaning that the sales-person will be able to show you a number of wedding rings suiting your budget.

This saves you more time and makes it less confusing for you to choose what you like. Imagine choosing over just 5 wedding rings compared to choosing over 30 designs.

2. What do both of you like?
