After blessing the marriage (which not everyone shows up to), the wedding reception hall is already filled with guests who are attending basically for food and...



What’s so special about a wedding reception anyway? Unnecessary spending of money and time.



So I thought, why can’t one have a church service and just share the food and gifts immediately after, and everyone goes home. This way, you get to save a lot of money from renting out a hall and costs of hiring wedding vendors (Not to mean that wedding vendors won’t get jobs, they can still be part of the church service, for example, a wedding decorator can still do some works to beautify the church, the emcee can be called in to be the officiating minister).



Also, you get to save a lot of time- time for moving from church to reception, waiting for the reception to kick off and the hours it takes. Speaking of time (and energy), I learnt of a couple who had their introduction, traditional wedding, white wedding and reception party all in one day! (shoot me!), I mean, where would they even get the strength to....



The point is to take out the core segments in the usual reception line-up and incorporate it into the church service to save money, time and energy and keep the stress (and those arguments that always surfaces at every reception) away!



The couple would miss out on the money ‘sprayed’ at the reception...?



Well, an offering collection for the couple can be done during the church service, this way...



At this point, I don’t see why having a wedding reception may be compulsory but since everyone does it, well…



Do you think having wedding reception is a must-do?

Thanks Op

Is it ur wedding?
Is it ur time? ur money? ur reception?


op which one is ur own sef?

OP, reception is not really necessary, it's all just for fun. But if you have the financial wherewithal, why not? You do it once in your life.

As for just sharing food and go after church/mosque wedding service, I have heard of couple who did exactly that; they just shared the packs to people as they were leaving the church and that was it, no reception or fanfare

The success of a marriage is not determined by how flamboyant the wedding is, plan your wedding according to your financial capability. If you have the money to hold your wedding in the moon and host the world, please go ahead, if you don't have the means to host beyond the parents, do that also. The most important thing is the joining of the wife and the husband which could be done at the church or court as you wish.
