it does not in anyway make sense to borrow because you want to impress some hawks that will laugh at you later when you are struggling trying to pay back.You had better do it according to your budget.First do your budget properly if it is 200k you have there is what we call wedding planner look for it you can get a plan of 150k there it all depends on your pocket.Just did mine on the 30th without borrowing a dime from anybody and do not hope on the money people will spray.

Hmm, rily I c nothing bad in borrowing money for your wedding, to face fact its a once in a life time event so y not, and no bi today that pple will borrow moni for wedding because its one event where you spend moni you have worked for in a year in one day, so its not bad getting all the help you can (esp if you are aware how the Igbo/ south south traditional marriage is done its cost a lot). The only exceptions I have for this rule is to borrow in proportion at which you can comfortably pay back and for this article by the by original post, the cynical reasons in which the wife has behind the borrowing.

This is one misconception too many. It is better to have a low key marriage and live comfortably afterwards. How can you live a life of such pretence?

She cud have a nice wedding without spending much, what a big eyed woman she is! gosh he should see the neon light, I DO NOT RECOMMEND MARRYING THIS WOMAN! I see her goin thru the marriage trying to please her friends and depressing the life out of the poor man. sad
Re: Is It Good To Borrow Money For Your Wedding? by Ladytemi(f): 6:19am On Feb 19, 2010
It seems that lately people see marriage (engagement, wedding ceremonies and reception) as a chance to have mega parties. It is very much possible to have a fabulous wedding without going into debt. The bride and the groom need to realize that after the cows are dead, jollof rice is all eaten, all the drinks are gone, and all the guests have gone home they still need to have enough money left over to setup their household. Like the saying goes "Cut your coat according to your size and cloth", do not spend the money you don't have and not be able to feed yourself and your new husband afterwards.

It's not proper

Re: Is It Good To Borrow Money For Your Wedding? by seunspice(m): 8:13am On Feb 21, 2010
Why would you wanna do that? why not take a mortgage for your marriage ceremony? Cut your coat according to your cloth jare. Then you'll get married and start paying some crazy loans. There are several financial contributors to a maariage ceremony.
1. The groom to be
2. The bride to be
3. Parents on 1 above
4. Parents of 2 above.

The financial obligations might be more demanding on one side more than the other, i.e. in our Nija settings here the bulk comes from 1 and 4 ( i stand to be corrected). So i dont see why you should borrow money to get married. Na only you wan do everything?

please update your knowledge, in most parts of 9ja only 1 above does this to prove his love for the bride and capability of taking care of his family (manliness).

Fact that this was an issue of consideration by the couple make want to laugh
Re: Is It Good To Borrow Money For Your Wedding? by rhemakc(f): 2:49pm On Feb 23, 2010
Life after wedding shld be put into consideration, Not the 'elaborate wedding' cos dat same wife will b d first 2 complain when there is no food on d table, when there is no money to pay bills,
Re: Is It Good To Borrow Money For Your Wedding? by tobiloba82: 3:11pm On Feb 23, 2010
anyone who says that the guy shouldn't borrow must be earning a very good pay as salary or doing a very lucrative business.
the truth is a lot of people borrow money. it is just that one should be very careful of the amount he is borrowing. your debt should not be more than you monthly salary or maybe two months salary. Don't be fooled, a lot of couple borrow.
you neva marry that is why you are condemning the move. Go and prepare for wedding, then you will know if there is a low key occasion in Nigeria.

Re: Is It Good To Borrow Money For Your Wedding? by Willyblinks(m): 7:16am On Feb 24, 2010
@tobiloba82
if he borrows not more than his two months salary possibly #50,000 which will take him six months or more to repay, This indicates that he has no other savings, its is planning a future based on gift from people what if they fail ?, how will they feed?

I'll rather he back off coz he is not ready for the marriage life or he cuts his cost down to a more reasonable level that will leave him something to feed his family with. You should'nt plan based on returns from a wedding coz it might 'RAIN'.
