Juliearth:
I would rather have a semi lowkey wedding so as to minimize cost...there is life after the wedding called marriage and that is what matters more.

DaniDani:
I love this topic so much. I and my queen are madly in love. Only money issues is the delay here. In this buhari era, #300,000 can't give me a traditional marriage talk less of wedding. For those that have wedded, tell us, let me double my hustling.

MicroBox:
April 22 remains a nightmare until when it's over..
My gal is not co-operating with me at all,keep inviting family and friends both offline and online it's like she don't understand that there is marriage after wedding.
She's busy choosing this and that while I m having difficult time sleeping and eating even when the food is served.

divinelove:
500 to 700k maximum

Do church wedding n trad same day

Dts my plans, though my fiancee wants it done separately n their family is insisting can u imagine

MVLOX:
I nd my fiance re planning for our marriage by December and we re not planning for something big our budget is 300k plus..... This is how we plan to make it work..... 1st all our clothing will be made by her based on the fact that not only is she a brain... A 2:1 graduate of business administration and management but also a very good fashion designer that makes both male and female wears. So she is gonna make all our clothing including her own wedding gown (expect my siut) which won't be white by the way even though she totally deserves to wear a white gown cuz she is a good babe a Virgin.... We both her. We will only have guests of not more than 150 pple. The smaller the better cuz Weda u invite the whole world pple will still come and say u didn't do well.... We want a European theme wedding were we celebrate with just few friends and family. OK so after the wedding talk and processes at our place of worship, a well packaged refreshment will be given to all guests as they step out of the place of worship meaning that there won't be any reception. It could end there but we may decide to further invite fewer friends and family to party a little at my dad's place later that night or evening.... Thats it as easy as that..... Marriage is more Dan the ceremony it's life Afta the ceremony that matters.

rose54321:
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.

buffalowings:

my brother you will spend more than that
150 don't make me laugh

TsaTrinity:

I used to think that I have heard the craziest thing in this world until yesterday when someone asked me for NYSC past questions and this your foolish comment

DavidEsq:

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?
