You are from the UK so what's your bizines with Naigiriya

unclezuma:

No. I have nothing at all. Me and him only decided yesterday

Nutase:

Presh9OO:
Is He an Afonja?? Or a Herdsman??

EmilieJones:

LOL! First of all, why do you guys want to marry in Nigeria?

EmilieJones:


Budget - maximum £1000

With the current exchange rate of 600+ to a pound that will amount to about 620,000 naira and the on going recession in Nigeria it might not take you too far.
If you're budgeting for between 50 - 100 guests it might be enough if it is not inclusive of your flight tickets and bridal wears.
Best of luck.

Aii'.. It all depends on your budget tho'

He is. I'm British

slimthugchimee2:

No that doesn't include the flight over and back. £1000 just for the wedding

DeeTus:

Because it seems easier than marrying over here.

Really? Ok then so maybe I need to up my budget. I already have my wedding dress

EmilieJones:

That's a pretty good answer.

Presh9OO:

£1000 just for the wedding. Flight is separate. And also I have already got my wedding dress

DeeTus:
That's a pretty good answer.

He's been refused a visa twice so I am going there

EmilieJones:

You do know that here ,Weddings are a pretty lavish occasion ryy?? Tho' it's a good budget to start with but if you guys plan to go the "Nigerian Way" and throw a Lavish party , i don't think that will be enough...

EmilieJones:


He's been refused a visa twice so I am going there

.... And you have run all necessary background checks??

EmilieJones:


He's been refused a visa twice so I am going there

Ok. But you need to ask him if he submitted any fake document or not in the process of applying for a visa. Ask him to open up to you more in order to avoid another denial.

Presh9OO:

Background checks on him?

DeeTus:

He sent me all paperwork for visas. Including the decision which came with the reasons for refusal

EmilieJones:

Okay.

DeeTus:
Okay.

We do tell each other everything. I'm on good terms with his mum too. Me and him have had the worst 2016 ever.

Presh9OO:

It's totally un-necessary.

Yes I know weddings are a big affair in Nigeria. What would you say was a good budget then? What would cover everything to make the occasion spectacular?

EmilieJones:

It's okay. His mom likes you.

DeeTus:
It's okay. His mom likes you.

Yes she does. Me and him have a child together too
