Indeed!! Even if just your family alone are the attendees, you'll spend more than that.
And who is inviting all the whole family, just my immediate ones. Even the ones far away should not bother. My friends can come for the naming ceremony, Two/Three friends who stay close by is enough.

So you think is just for edible provisions? What about things like canopies, DJ and clothes you would wear with your wife? 50k can also do all of that and even more?
Who needs canopies, the only expensive thing i'll be going for might be the clothes. Maybe from registry, the few might just collect take away or do the serving there. Am not the 'Felabration' type

My sister 500k in this recession where price of everything have skyrocket. You get heart o. Am about getting married on 29th of this month and despite trying my best to make it small I have spent roughly 1.5m and will still spend at least 300k before that very day base on one or two miscellaneous expenses that will surely pop up. Well I love taste and quality sha, not quantity. Lolz
God bless you but different strokes for different folks......I rather invest the 1million after the wedding than spending it on just the wedding

Angel, I'd like to know more about you, if you don't mind.
Sleekyshuga:

I am from the East but in my place, the lady and her people handles everything about the traditional with the man handling the white wedding plus our bride price is very tiny (doubt if its up to a thousand naira sef)..

IMO, weddings should be a joint effort. No matter how wealthy a man is, there should be something the girl's family should be able to provide/afford on that day though it still boils down to the kind of family you are getting married from..

My mum's dad, with all his wealth gave his daughter FOC, and warned her husband. 'The day you raise your hand on her, I collect my daughter back. She isn't for sale neither is she a slave.'

Mine is strictly for families, engagement inside my father's sitting room and reception follows immediately after we might have gone to registry in the morning. No stress at all.

Babe, from my heart I would want a small marriage. Just I and my family and boo's family. I hope he would be co operative. I hope my wishes come through. No stress, just engagement party will be the big deal then he pays my dowry and we go our home. No big deal there.

If family members doesn't agree they can do whatever they want. It's my marriage, not theirs, it's my HUSBAND!!!!!! angry

Very simple!

All you have to do is just one small sommersault, make sure say condom is not used. Then you can go and tell them, "am pregnant already and its my husband not theirs, it my marriage not theirs" they will hear you. If not, get ready to face the nearest lagoon near you..... grin

Otherwise, you go church talk or Registry talk say "Its my husband", na broom them go use take sweep your leg commot for office........ grin

As though it is not the same parents that will give you out in marriage and will be looking up to you to show some good manners so that your would be inlaws will have some respect for your parents as well........ undecided

Its my husband ko? angry

MARKone:


Don't believe this list joor, ah ahn...na the entire village ur friend wan marry. Why them no add Dowery for Ancestors, and iPhone 8, Oga o

Go marry Ijaw person naaah........ angry

Especially when her papa don die, you go know whether na real or na fake..... grin

And for your information, when negotiation and confirmation of these things are going on, nobody is permitted to eat, drink, celebrate or sing songs of joy. And until its done before the gal will be asked to come out.

My guy whey marry ijaw (for wedding whey them do for lagos Ooooh, of which we come dey fear say wetin for happen if to say we reach home).

We got there 12noon, wedding proper started 6.30pm. Some people don come, waka leave us for inside negotiation matter. No food nothing, it was the small food that my guy cooked that he used to feed some person whey come for wedding dey wait make wedding start since 12noon. And we didnt discover that food wasnt been served to people - after the guy gave the girls family money to prepare food for guests until 3.30pm - some people came and left without even seeing groom nor bride for inside traditional wedding....... angry

Them cage the guy for house make E no move, in the name of discussion of list items while they were busy doing and talking nonsense, if no be say we suspect say na the girl family dey do this wan from the fathers side - her father is late - , plus the fact that by virtue of this wedding, she was going to be the first and only girl that had a proper wedding out of all her siblings, we would have walked out of that place no query....... angry



Everything they ask you to bring, you use money to offer it. If they as you to bring 3 cartons of beer, you will present it with cash like 20k, shoe for the papa or papa representative incase the paper dey late - you must bug better italian show oooh or otherwise - then top am with cash.

The wahala na whether to even negotiate wetin them talk say make you bring or the money whey them put on top. Typical ijaw wedding na quarrel them dey quarrel for negotiation for list matter Oooh..... shocked

You wan try yourself, go marry ijaw whey her papa don die, na that time you go know......... undecided

Traditionally my guys went low.
I'l be on low too focusing more on white for the bride.

For the white; Any figure above 120 guests na crowd (as some one said 150-200 guests to be a small circle. Hmmmm).

The budget will be like 350k-500k shaa.

If allowed, I will fix the date on a Monday. wink

In addendum i just remembered that "blessing of marriage" for my church na FOC.

If Oluwa bless the boy, budget fit increase. Amen.

Never a fan of big weddings. A friend who married last year sent text with Strictly by Invitation, a lot of people no come and he's happy about that.
For me, some family see it as a source of income but if your wife is understanding, you can walk it together. If you marry Idols here, please DM me.

Have budgeted 1.2m for my wedding and I will not allow anything or anyone to inflate this.. my bae has tried so many times to increase this but she keep failing.

Kikikiki. I laugh.. Let that day come. It will shock u. If u end up spending not more than 1.5m.pls go do testimony.

I will advise every young man that want to marry should never allow his wife no how much he worth especially if he want a low-key wedding.

Planning for my bro and I told him to tell her he has less than 1m in savings from which I plan to rent two bedroom flat at 300k and buy things she needed for her kitchen.

She b struggling with a budget of 500k and just yesterday she gave up church wedding as her people won't accept no traditional wedding.

She b pushing him to disturb us to assist but we blank though we have surprises awaiting her on that deal day. She successfuly got her mum church band who will play.

We gonna storm there with a special buffet and life band we paid for already but we keeping it secret cuz we discover she is from a notice me family and they will milk us if we don't take things hard.

Worst thing my bro not even concern like he is ready to loose her.

My older brother married from there, we knew what we went through and a repeat is no no no. We are wiser
