Any wedding that costs more than 50% of annual income in gross expenditure is no longer a wedding, its a jamboree.
Nigerians need to wake up and realize that after the jamboree, the sobriety kicks in.
I don't see the wisdom in buying crates of alcohol for old men to get drunk on or bottles of spirit for young men to revel in.
Zero sense.

As a lady, My culture demands I provide some of the things I will need including Television, Gas Cooker, Bed and wardrobe refrigerator and so on... My dad ended up spending about 1.5 million

Realhommie:
Hmmmmmmmm... It makes a whole lot of sense, but such can only be possible if ur spouse is extremely understanding.

you're funny dude

teemy:
Only prior introduction

Wowwwwwwwwww

You need to know what you need first before you can get an estimate for your budget.

porthacourt marriage.. just give am belle and put am for ya house. keep d girl for five years and make una born reach six children .. i bet you, na her parents go use their hand give you free of charge.. na only transport money you go pay..

Mehn I would like a big wedding o, it happens only once in a lifetime(all things being equal).

The difference with me though, is that I'm striving to fund at least half of it.
So if you dream big, work hard to make it a reality.

There's absolutely nothing wrong in planning or hoping to have a big, flamboyant wedding, so long as you can afford it.

Well, well, well.

I am not ready for marriage yet and inflation is steady rising. A million naira today maybe small change tmrw.

But all things being equal I am hoping and by God's grace to have a budget of 3-5 million naira for my wedding. Working really hard to make money to achieve this and more.

If possible it could be more than that figure. It is a once in a lifetime event and as such needs to be savored and before you people begin to say a big wedding doesn't guarantee a successful marriage, you should chill and enjoy that moment. The future will take care of it's self.

Me no go spend pass a million

Hmm! I Own U A Can Of Malt

Mine I will invite only 35 persons period

nnamdibig:
I budgeted 800k for my wedding but ended up spending 1.2
It's very difficult to spend exactly what you budgeted.
If you want to spend 500k start planning with 200-300k if you want to spend 1M, start planning with 700k.
My opinion thou

Sori bro, I'm kinda lost. How cld I budget 200-300k if I want to spend 500? If I budget 200-300k, wen I actually want to spend 500k, wldnt I start planning within 500k? Practically speaking, u mean if I want to buy a goat and it wld cost me 25k, by ur comment, u mean I shld plan to buy the goat for 15k? Huh, for real?
