funnynation:

how are u doing and happy new yr?

Eyekandi:


I'm interested too

I really want a lowkey wedding but I'd love to equip my home and save up for coming of kids, more important to me.

agarawu23:
are u saying until we save 4-500k thats when we can have a lowkey wedding? Even if we earn 20k monthly? How many years will it take me to save 400k as a 20k monthly earner? I should get old while waiting to save 400k?
Must I have 400k before I get married? Did all the average young couples spent 4-500k too?

this is the only point making sense to me.

BluStreak:


The highlighted is one of the biggest problems intending couples do face, mostly from the bride's side. There is a hidden competition among these mothers on whose daughter's wedding will outshine.

Only if intending couples will listen; don't bend yourselves over for a dream wedding. It is, (I repeat) it is not worth it. The success of your marriage and the peace within it is more important than what people think of your wedding. In less than 2yrs, everything would have been forgotten. All that will be left is the couple and the challenges that everyday living presents.

Good afternoon romance landers,

I decided to create the topic here since this is the section where we have high % of single/dating youths who are planning to get married in future .

My "average" means someone whose salary isn't that much be it from the 18k minimum wage up to 50k.

We were discussing on this thread when the Op called 900k a "budget" wedding https://www.nairaland.com/2862648/budget-wedding-n900k-350-guests

So how much should an average guy budget for his wedding ?

That is complete foolishness. Assuming I am getting married, I can have 1Million naira in my account within a few months if I work harder.

My dear, wats making it complete foolishness?

D fact u can make 1million naira within a few months if u work harder does not make u spend so elaborate when d money isn't in your account! remember change is constant
