Weave installation = $55



So what happened to your natural hair. Was it in absentia?

Instead of using the $55 for something more constructive, you are fixing synthetic junk on your head

500k on wedding with just 15 guests?

I off my fila for you o.


Low budget indeed. That money will feed 50 naija families 3 square meals for 2 months.

Low budget kpo gi okwu

ladygogo: pics.

The photography ! Am impressed! Happy marriage life!

ladygogo:

lol @dbard. 400 guests isnt low key again o! Tips? Start by cutting down on the no of guests, then you will save more on food,drinks and decor.

You dont have to spend a lot on your dress too.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to individual taste. I know i will have spent more if i had had the wedding in Naija, despite the fact that it was small.

thank you.

i dont how wedding in part of nigeria is do, but wedding in most Africa and Asia countries is family affairs so your individual taste does matter.

another stuff to deceive gullible minds.Wedding is not marriage but a route to it.The big question is do you have the decency and love to stay it marriage with the same enthusiasm and love you had planning a low budget wedding?.Congratulation OP in advance.

bellong:

Happy Married Life Ladygogo, may your home be an habitation of peace, mutual love, respect and an example to others.


Meanwhile, by my cost standard, your wedding is still expensive .

I spent only about N850,000 for mine with guests of about 200 or more, not too sure. I took and stand and stood by it. Fortunately for me, my parents-in-inlaw are of the same ideology with me in terms of ceremony.

In America people spend that on 1 year birthday party or baby shower. I have gone to 2 sweet 15 parties for a Mexican family where they spent over $20,000. An Egyptian engagement party around the same too! Very ridiculous all the people with big expensive weddings that married when I did they are not even together now nonsense!

Op a big congrats! Always love your husband it is you and him first before family, friends etc; cook him good food, keep your slim figure cause thats how he married you and always be his freak between the sheets and you will stay new in his eyes like the first day you met.

You should have done a Drive-Through marriage in Las vegas for about $200.

The rest of the money you would have used to splurge on yourselves.

The most important thing in wedding is to get a very beautiful picture you will enlarge and put in your living room (per evidence).

Even the best wedding in the world is forgotten in 1 week. The memory fades as well.

Only the pictures live long.

Bootybuttchic: beautiful dress u had dere ....happily married life



so u spent 479k ...its still an expensive wedding o,if it were in naija,u will still cook friedrice,buy eva wine,ur tailor will organise you of wedding dress of at most 20k,if u negotiate well, ....wen i saw low budget,[b][/b]i wont lie i was expecting like a less dan 100k kinda wedding.....maybe its cos of were u guys stay tho,.....so a beautiful wedding u had,may God may u people always hapy,providd u all ur heart desires,peace and harmony be yours......hml

Guy you read my mind well no be small,. I wonder how many persons fit afford those kinda small setting with the annual salary of many people here in naija.


@poster, I wish you a successful union,

If u ask me however, I don't think your pictures were necessary, the breakdown was sufficient.

This arrangement is only possible in Yankee not in Naija



Abeg, somebody should post Naija version

wow so cool. congrats, I wish nigerian weddings can be simple too.

#Teammarriagenotweddingceremony

ladygogo:


To the mods. I only want this posted to the family, events and fashion section. Thank you.

Madam, you don reach fp already

ladygogo:

Your wedding gown is
But this is still expensive for 15 guests

Ummm.... where in Nigeria does d wedding takes place pls

If I should bring everything to naira, the wedding is too expensive.

Dreal1247: When most Nigerian ladies want the whole world to attend their wedding. More guests, more spending, also greater chance of catastrophe.

Don't blame them, he who hasn't worked for.money doesn't know how hard it is to make money.

I have heard two ladies who were once friends making funny remarks about people spending on weddings one said to me, " I want my wedding to be talk of town in the village ". The other one said, " Can you imagine this man's souvenirs were made of plastic ? "

None of them has a job or has earned salaries ever before, so you know where they are coming from..

Poster is a very wise lady..

oseiwe: You spent roughly N500k and just 15 guests? What about the mock traditional wedding ceremony?
Firstly, the money is too much, secondly, native law and custom in absentia is the most hilarious ceremony in every part of the World.

Spending in hard currency can never translate to spending in naira. Get that ?

Good Observation. 18 people & you are spending 500k. That is outrageous.
I spent close to 800k to entertain about 500 people. Both invited & uninvited.
Very common phenomenon in Nigeria.

angelTI: Congrats sweetie. God bless your home.

This is my kind of wedding. Not the 'aye a gbo, orun a mo' kind of wedding.

There is nothing wrong 'with aiye a gbo orun a mo' wedding if one can afford it. Different strokes for different folks.

@ladygogo
Wow!!! I love your dress so much. Hard to believe you spent less than $2000 on it. Im glad i opened this thread. I honestly believe that splurging on a wedding and then eating garri for the next few months after is super idiotic. But people still do it. I mean, it is just one day while marriage is supposed to be for a lifetime.
Congrats and i am wishing you a happy married life.

Congratulations Sister.God give me a Lady who can manage like her oh.So that with 2500 euro I,m don with wedding.

Undergarments:$40.00 I ended up not wearing it.

@ OP what do you mean by the above

Good to see RATIONAL people who understand that marriage is not wedding, just as a 100m sprint is much different from a 20km marathon.
Meanwhile I like your signature- very meaningful.
HML!

Congrats lady. May the good lord give you all things good. I love the simplicity. Salute oga for all of us here o.
We be 4 in all. so,give him 4 salutes for us and tell him I said he should take good care of you and you sef pet him too and take care of him

ladygogo: Thanks obylrich.

To the Mods. You can delete the other threads. Thank you..

@OP….Still I can recognize your face from the picture even though you try to hide.Are you not that Yoruba girl from D.C that later moved to Maryland?……Congratulation anyway to both of you…..

Congratulations, I love your wedding gown. And that's the kind of wedding I love; small but classy with lots of flowers and green plants around.
