Our wedding in Canberra

I have been cleaning our second bedroom for the past two and half hours and found out the scribble note that I wrote in a piece of paper of the cost that we spent in our weddings in Canberra & Bali.

Our first Canberra wedding was on the 18th of July 2009 at The Husband’s dad’s house in Latham. According to my note, it costs us $1250. The breakdown is as follows:

Shinta’s necklace from Mimco: $ 200 (reusable)

Note: I did the make up myself by searching on YouTube video on bridal make up. Number of guests were about 25 people.

Our second wedding was on Bali. It was in a Villa there. The cost for this was $2400. The number of guests who attended the wedding were about 40.
