There is a big event coming up that I am looking forward to happening. The wedding event, yes, I decided to settle down and to enter Into the world of marriage. Of course, even in my below-average status in life, I wanted to at least to make it grand but not too much. Yes, money is a problem for people like us but you know, one thing I learned in my life status like this. "If you do not have the money, you need to put in more effort or work hard for it."
Money is the whole reason why we can have those things. But not all of those things that we want can be bought with a large amount of money. You can buy it for a small amount and wait for the right moment to ripe and then have it. I think I didn't sound too clear so let's have an example. Branded clothing, pearls, shoes, or any other stuff needs a bigger amount to achieve. Some people who need them badly will wait for a promo sale at 50% and buy them when that time comes. Obviously, it takes time compared to buying it right away but if you do not have the amount to afford it. You don't have a choice but to wait if you really want it badly.
Now, back to my situation right now who is unemployed but only has a small store. A nuptial event is a problem, especially in terms of money. The dress codes, the mass, the food, and the family expenses about the transportation and resting place. A very small amount will not be enough for this occasion but I wanted this to happen because it's one of a lifetime events.
I then found a way to lessen the expenses of spending it for food. This is the main preparation when having an occasion because without it the visitors will not be pleased in attending. I'm not saying I am obliged to show off but I told myself it's necessary. If you are inviting someone, of course, you need to make sure they will feel comfortable and at the same time satisfied with their visit.
So my strategy was to culture pigs to slaughter on the day of the wedding. That way, buying meat to serve, which is what most people like to eat will not be a problem. The price of pork these days is changing, going higher and lower but not as low expenses as when you culture a pig from the time it's just a piglet that you bought. To have an assurance that the pork will not be a problem when the time comes this is the best preparation I think it is.
It may take up so much of my time and be a little bit tiring. I don't care as long as I will not limit the food to serve with everyone. It's my responsibility to make sure they'll be full when the time comes. It's an honor to have their presence on the day of my marriage so in return, I will treat them well.
