Orisirisi. Some people are more complicated than a labyrinth. Wetin person no go hear?

It depends on who the "everyone" are. If they are mainly the females in the OP's family - probably her mother, sisters, cousins, and aunties, then one can see the sort of greedy and warped characters you have in your life. They want you to hang your yansh on the shop shelf until the highest bidder comes along, so that they would benefit directly or indirectly. The hope is that since she's still relatively young, she can hold out for Paddy Adenuga or Aliko Dangote Jnr. It is only when she has crossed the Age 30 benchmark and realise that the highly desired 'suitors' are not forthcoming that they would advise her to 'manage' any alcoholic, woman-battering, thrice-married he-goat that comes her way.

However, if the "everyone" are mainly friends, then it is probably a case of jealousy - they are mad that you are getting married before them, or that you are getting married to a decent 'husband material' that has constantly eluded them.

The guy in question is a decent person,but people are wary cause he is the first person.

So, is anything wrong in marrying the first person that comes for your hand in marriage?
What do you mean by the first suitor? Is he your boyfriend that proposed or did a random man just propose to you?

tpia@:
very few people actually marry their first suitor.

but, in cases where you're convinced he or she is the one, and no other issue presents itself, its up to you.
How can a she be a suitor(ask for hand in marriage)maybe in ur location?

Are we talking about just going ahead to marry someone who just asked for your hand in marriage without knowing anything about him?
or that you love and know the basic things there is to know about him, want to marry him and people think its a bad idea cos he's the first who's ever asked?

I'm kinda confused .

No.
If he is who and what you are sure you want as your life partner, then please, don't bluff or rebuff him.

There is a time in your biological clock that you will attract many suitors, but it is not permanent.
Then gradually as you grow older and less attractive, the number of your suitors will reduce and then you will no longer find Mr. Eligible, but Mr. Available.
Be wise.

If a woman is so dammmmmmmmmn ugly. . . that may be her ONLY CHANCE. . . like some moderators and super moderators on Facebook or NS/NVS. Especially, when 'ABSTINENCE' cannot help matters in the WOR-WOR department.wink

Futhermore. . .a woman may have many 'customers' but only one suitor. . . how can she refuse then? wink

I am my wife's first suitor and she is my first also, this year our marriage will be 5years and I can tell you clearly that ours is one of the best marriages around! Please note that we agreed to this marriage when all I had were just few trousers and shirts with probably one shoe, meaning the union was never based on what I have o, she accepted me when I was nobody, never waited for richer suitor to come by! Today we are both doing great together, God is indeed good to us... If you are sure that he is the right one (I must tell you that you need GOD to be sure), please dont waste time... Marriage is sweet o, I Wish you ALL the best of GOD.
