I would like to have just the two immediate families and not more that 10friends of the couple during my time. Don't have time for crowd. I would prefer it to be simple if my future spouse approves it.
can I be that man..

please?

Abia State

Wifey and I are both from Abia. After sorting out everything in the list, my father in law said to me, "did you see me collect any bride price? I didn't because I want you to use it and take care of my daughter. Anyday you lay your hands on her, I will come for you".

I looked at him like...dude relax, the items in the list are more expensive than any bride price you would have asked for...

Thank goodness I didn't say it out shaa.

I don't need crowd on my wedding day, I prefer going to registry and doing engagement only, not spending much. Based on strategic management

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

I dey tell u, I budget 600k...ended up spending 1m or more minus trad. We Nigerians make life difficult for ourselves sha. Oyibo no dey waste money for wedding.

Everybody must not marry. I've always said it. Impregnate the lady, it's her parents that will be begging you to come for her by that time they must do your bidding. I'm not married because I'm still in the paper chase.

Ezigbo nwa!
My people said that "good women are scarce", especially in the Nigeria of today.

Ginaz:
Lol, I'm not a fan of huge stuff and I think the man that gonna marry me gonna be lucky.

I ain't on facebook,
Ain't on instagram
Ain't on I.G
Only on whatsapp grin I do things my way not cos people expect me to.

On my birthday my guy asked me what I wanted, I said honey cos I wanted to use it for facial treatment , he bought the honey for me and total cost was 3k. That was my first birthday gift since our 6years of dating cheesy I no get time and he kuku know though sometimes e dey pepper me say I no dey trouble am. sad I'm pretty independent, though I don't have money like that sha sad

I don't makeup( though I love lipsticks like crazy!), I don't go out. Expenses are just for body lotions and clothes and I'm good to go .

My marriage day chaiii, people will only see pictures. I only want my engagement party to be big, gonna invite our friends and family, then he pays my bride price which is 120 in my town. grin

After then I would loved to organize a small party at home. Maybe give them money to cook food or buy a full goat and share among themselves so dem no go worry me for night. grin

I have got no worries at all, the person to marry me got no worries too. Na who white and traditional marriage help? My mom's friend that had a whole town for her marriage, she's is in her father's house now instead of her husband's. undecided

Life no get duplicate, do your own style and make people do their own style.

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?
