Its never a win win situation, nature made it 4 a man to be the head of a household, Even the Bible says a man that can not provide for his household is worse than an infidel, A man should be able to pay for wedding expenses, A woman can only do so with mutual agreement and understanding, but the man should atleast pay the dowry,

For babes who wants to pay:  Are u prepared to be d bread winner all ur marital life, cos once u start paying now, ure making him lazy and unimportant, Will he appreciate you in the long run? except from exceptionally guys from the moon dat will realise ur worth and still treat you like the Queen and Angel ure to his life,

For the poster,  Do you want power to change hands in your own household? I hope you do not except the sweet honey paying all bills wife of urs to be submissive & respectful to u always, Lets face facts, are u prepared to wash d kids, prepare the meals, wash & clean the house where she's out there chasing money?

Marriage is a contributing effort of all, Love is never free or cheap, Let the 2 parties work on it and provide for all,

A man who is not financially able to contribute at least 60% of his wedding cost is not fit for the marriage at that particular point in time. Sentiment and emotions apart. He is not matured for marriage.

I have seen instances where the guy contributes something, but the inlaws maybe wealthier would double it or more to ensure their daughter had a desired wedding.

FOR A MAN TO MARRY, HE HAS TO PLAY HIS ROLE VERY WELL

@ aduje

Thumb up for u.

@ All

For any man to command respect in his home, he must be financially resposible. Once any man fails in his financial obligations starting from courtship to marriage proper and homefront, he looses his respect nor matter how religious the wife is.

Well if the lady can sponsor the wedding due to the financial insolvent of the guy at that point in time,there is nothing bad about it but such a guy should be an individual that has a future and prospect if not,she will continue footing bills even after the wedding.Even in law there are exceptions.

Ndipe:

Why cant a lady sponsor her wedding, I mean, it's her own wedding also. What if she is richer than the man?

So why don't  we rename this post, "why husbands/boyfriends should be financiers of marriages and unions from Naija perspective" [size=16pt]Most Naija women will cherry pick when it favours them.[/size]

Anabel:

A man is a man, no doubt about it, where is he when all his mate are busy working hard to earn a living. "Heaven help those that help themselves" I will sponsor the wedding, you will pack into my place, when night reach you go wan sleep with me. *Omoh e no possible, him think sey i be love maga. abeg abeg, make him enter BRT lane.
