Malaysia Wedding - Who Pays For What?

Now you have a budget, the next big question is who pays for what? In the western cultural, the bride’s family would pick up most of the tab. However, we work very differently in Malaysia. Having said that, nothing is cast in stone, the best way to handle this sensitive issue is to sit down together and discuss how you want to split the bills.
