Why bother? Just have a nice quiet wedding (you and wife alone) and invest the 450k (USD?) in some future plan that will benefit your new family. What use is an elaborate wedding if the couple end up suffering from financial trouble?

Many couples use their weddings as a means for unnecessary show-off and 'levels' stipulation. What is important is the vows you exchange, and God does not charge you a cent for it.

Be wise. If you don't have dough to burn, keep it low-key. The whole wedding will be forgotten in a few days anyway!

Typewriter:

Can ladies keep in mind that most men are having hard time to wed (sorry spend hard earned Naira on one day event)

so i expect ladies to encourage this topic by bring out points that will make it possible for men to go for low key and easy weddings

please tabulate the most needed items and cost alternative so that Guys can agree to do this calvary and cross journey early.
than to wait for the woman of their love get older and desperate or get the poor thing impregnated to bring about hiding marriage or cheap wedding

again ladies should know that after wedding day (a one day event ) comes marriage (a life time event)
so which is more important?

note: also that Mr Right can not be a ready made thing rather you can mould and shape out your MR. Right with who you have!
stop being greedy, get to work and get lucky!

Or some derelict/run down government primary/secondary school halls!!

Bros, you never ready. Better do traditional introduction that won't cost you more than 200K and carry on with your lives. 450k naaaah!!!

One advise for you, same thing a friend once told me, "Your wedding can never be the worst on record neither can it be the best" - so do what you can only afford.

pek:

go save ur dough till ur wife comes into ur house
go to the Reg to sign and then take pics.
You dont have to do any jamboree if u dont have the dough


good talk. lets not deceive ourselves, 450k will get you nowhere with 150 guests.
i spent over 250k last year for a wedding of less than 50 people and my house was the reception venue.

abhosts:

We make so much fuss about wedding ceremonies in Nigeria. Ironically, the cost of a wedding does not in any way determine it's success.
