Civil

Civil wedding is ideal for a couple who are not in the same religion. In addition, civil marriage is affordable, simple and requires less formality. The couple can choose the location of the wedding – be it in the garden, in a restaurant, hotel ballroom, in a government office, or wherever place as long as the law permits it.  Though civil wedding is quick and easy, sometimes it can be faked.

Again, the budget for civil wedding depends on your choice of venue and the number of guests you like to invite.
