It can be seen from the circulating photos that the wedding dowry of the couple has gone viral on social media."

There is also instant coconut milk, soy sauce, packaged finely ground spices, sardines, and other usual kitchen seasonings.

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.

"Joint Decision"

"The decision to give kitchen spices as a wedding gift is a mutual agreement with the husband," said Nida. Besides being more cost-effective for the wedding, Nida herself also enjoys cooking. For the wedding gift, Nida and Yusri chose dry kitchen spices because they are easier to store."

"Regarding her decision to use kitchen spices, Nida said she has her own reasons. "We don't not want to follow the custom of buying expensive dowries, but we already have everything," she explained."

"Nida said that her wedding to her 35-year-old husband was simple. The wedding took place at her residence located in Manchis, Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia."

"Besides saving on the dowry, Nida and her husband also limited their spending on makeup and wedding photos. In the wedding on December 31, 2023, Nida did not hire a makeup artist or rent a professional photographer."

"The two 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 shopping money for the reception event." Including the dowry items that we bought at the same time to celebrate the event," she explained."

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "This 34-year-old woman decorated the wedding stage by herself and according to her preferences. As for catering, she was assisted by her family and neighbors around her house."

Nida also invited her friends who are experts in makeup and photographers to help her. "Luckily, there was a friend who had a sophisticated smartphone, so he became an impromptu photographer at our wedding," she said.

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.

Although, Nida admitted that the idea of providing kitchen spices as a dowry to save on wedding costs was initially difficult for both families of the couple to accept.

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 Dare to Go Against the Current"

"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."
