Siti Masnida, who is commonly called Nida, admitted to spending 50 ringgit or Rp167 thousand for her wedding dowry. The wedding dowry was placed in seven trays intended for the groom. Interestingly, Yusri, who was the groom, responded to Nida with five trays filled with kitchen spices. According to Yusri, he spent 85 ringgit or Rp284 thousand to fill the trays with kitchen spices.

Both families of the bride and groom also did not hold two wedding ceremonies, such as 'ngunduh mantu' and the like. "We only held the wedding ceremony once. But the groom's side added money for the reception." Including the dowry items that we bought together and to liven up the event," she explained.

Nida admits that her decision to have this super frugal wedding is absolutely right. The problem is, all the wedding expenses were only around 5,000 ringgit or approximately Rp 16.7 million. Even the Melayu and baju kurung wedding outfits, with a white theme, were bought for less than 600 ringgit or Rp 2 million.

Nida and Yusri want to save the monetary gifts from the invited guests and relatives for emergencies. "Alhamdulillah, we still have savings. Besides, the most important thing is that we are not in debt," she emphasized. Nida wants this post to be an inspiration for couples who want to get married. There is no need to be afraid of holding a simple wedding celebration.

"Must be a little daring to go against the current. The heart must be prepared, the ears must be thick." Change the mindset that weddings must be luxurious and require a lot of expenses. "In fact, the expenses after marriage are even more," she concluded."
