I have just faxed my application form for loan from the bank... I am very sad that I have to resolve to borrow from the bank.
Well... with the $3,000.00 I want to connect water supply to my mother's house. Which I live in when my fiance is not here... (for, some of you already know, I don't want/like to live with his mother and family id my fiance is not around). My friends (those who are not really close to me) think we live in a house with water supply in it but everyday my mother has to go to our neighbor's house and take water for cooking.
Other than that, I need money for my wedding as well... it's not that I want to have a grand wedding. It is just that, my fiance already told me that the expenses for my family side (hotel, clothes, my make-up etc...) I have to bear the expenses myself. I know it sounds pathetic but I feel bad if he has to pay for everything (actually his mother does) :-(
The bank has not call me up yet to tell whether my application is approved or otherwise, I really need money right now. My feeling? Sad... but hopefully my loan is approved..

Hi Chi! If I were in your situation I wouldn't prefer to borrow from the bank considering the higher interests which they offer. Even if you have a schedule plan to pay off your debts in a short time frame, chances are in the event of unexpected circumstances, you will be buried in debt and find it hard to fully paid it. It is still a debt that you will going to pay at a later date.
In my point of view it is so unethical that a girl will pay even a part of the wedding expenses.. If your boyfriend cannot afford it then maybe you should wait until he or both of you are financially stable. Or you may opt for a simple wedding to avoid spending beyond your budget.

I agree with you job, in your opinion.
Not that we are discouraging her to get married, but if my fiance cannot afford a posh wedding, then i would prefer that we have it simple. What is important is that we can marry.

But the mum don't want it to be simple, once I told my fiance to tell his mum that I want to postpone the wedding because of low budget. But the mum said not to worry about money.. it's him who doesn't have to worry, but he already told me that I have to pay my side of family's expenses ie their accommodation and transportation, my make up etc..
