 In my point of view, the written document that involves the full process and custom of Hokkien marriage is needed for all Hokkien Chinese to refer.  The “Federation of Hokkien Associations Malaysia '',the main associations for the Hokkien society, need to have research and development for all the marriage’s custom of Hokkien.  They may start to collect the data from different states because the differences between states in customs are smaller compared to the state.  Besides, Fujian China is the origin place of the Hokkien culture, therefore, thay may refer to Fujian’s marriage custom when doing the research. 



For the higher cost of marriage, actually this is not necessary to construct a marriage with high payment which follows all the customs of Hokkien.  The parts which will cause higher cost in marriage are the wedding dinner, the angbao for the engagement, the marriage photo and the betrothal gift.  The person can reduce the cost with choosing a lower-grade restoran, a lower value in the angbao, marriage photo can be taken by other way like asking some friend to take, and no need to spend too much on the betrothal.  All this way can work with only one condition, which is that the bride understands the situation of the broom and not concern the materialistic.
