Vision4God: Most of us don't live in a real world; we deceive ourselves a lot. Budgeting millions in a wedding that probably won't last? How can 40 to 50 pple consume food and drink worth 150K? Are you buying expensive wine all through? 4 Likes |

Too many kids here, except the few ones with great sense of humour. Anyway, my sis wedding happened last 2months and the total estimate was around 650-700k for (Trad, Nikkah and reception)(clothes, shoes, accessories and make-up for husband and wife was around 100k, wedding ring: 48k, 2 big cows:160k plus slaughtering et all here in Ilorin. Variety of foods/ingredient/caterers: was around 150k. Drinks:60k DJ: 15k. Engager:10k, decoration:10k( na field wey dey beside our house we use ) MC: 10k. Canopies and chairs :40k It was just like the normal average wedding but it was so interesting with lots of people. My brother, na to cut ur coat according to ur cloth oo. No do pass urself, people will just come and eat, few will give u gift but it's worth it though, it's a day of joy for both families. Oh! Without forgetting the bride price and other things brought by the husband: Everything sums up @ 60-70k( we be Yoruba, we no dey too expensive) 4 Likes |

I can see "bella naija" wedding figures. Average Lagos worker earns 50k job with siblings and parents. How long would it take to save 1.5 mill on a wedding? Even if relatives wanna foot the bill, one would rather the money goes to something else. Personally, I would rather do a quiet wedding and buy a plot of land/a car that will make me and my wife more comfortable. Pls Don't save for more than a year for wedding. High wedding costs are one of the reasons men beat their wives especially when he is broke and he starts thinking of the alternative forgone. 8 Likes |

Just a suggestion or an advice, Marriage should be focused on not the cost of the wedding and please be yourself , avoid pushy pushy people and be firm. My people it's not the price marriage oo that makes sustain the marriage. Be wise. |

In my area where I come from..(down south south)...expect the list of items for the following category of people; mother, father, the 12 brothers and sisters, paternal grand father and grand mother, great grand father and mother, all the in-laws 2be relatives, village head, youth president, women leader (very important), the young shall grow(before you have access to the in-law's compound on TM day,. If your wife2be is the first daughter then 2 cows( but you can atleast give one cow) if the mother didn't have any trade or business be ready to open one for her ( very serious). If the father is a traditionalist then be ready to provide a royal sit in the palace and some hot drinks for incantation. Dowry may be 10k only so that they can refund it and keep their daughter for more market. Pls can somebody give the rough estimate of the above list? 1 Like |
