Doing Traditional And White Wedding On The Same Day Or On Different Days? by keypad1: 11:31am On May 23, 2016
Please i need advise. I was having a chat with my fiancee on what how our wedding is going to be like. I told her i prefer we do it on the same day so that we wont be stressed out and also considering how it will save our finance, not spending much. She was not too okay with it and pprefer we do it on different days.

Please people which pattern of wedding did you do during your time?


Someone actually said the one done on the same day is the one in vogue.


Please i need your indelible inputs here.

Thanks

Sama day makes sense. After the Church wedding move down to the bride's place for the traditional wedding and reception. Many are doing that in the East.

So you and your fiancee can't reach a simple agreement on how to hold your wedding(s)... you want Nairalanders to tell you what to do? Smh. ..


Anyway, I did mine on separate days..reason(s) best known to me and my husband...

Go back, discuss with your fiancee and reach an agreement that will be for the best interest of both of you!

asking for your opinion here is not a bad idea na.


Remember no one have monopoly of ideas.

How you did yours? What was the cost like? How was the stress like? How will it be for someone on low income?

I did mine same day, the same reasons you want yours that way. After wedding we still had enough to give finishing touches to our new life. Less stress on family and friends, less stress on the couple and their pocket.

keypad1,

You need to talk to your fiancée to reach a compromise because disagreeing on ordinary date does not bode well for your union. Y'all need to be on the same wavelength.

An example of a compromise: have the trad/engagement on a weekday, and the religious wedding also on a weekday. But the religious wedding should be in the pastor's/imam's office with only the couple and immediate family. Then go to a fine mamaput/restaurant for lunch.

If you and wiffie can't agree on finances at this early stage, then...

There won't be enough time for people to think of food before traditional wedding commences. Most people come for reception only and not the church part of the whole thing, so most of your guest will naturally arrive when the traditional wedding has already started. Just one serving but is always better to make the food surplus. We made the food surplus, made several types of rice , Eba + 3 different soups and make sure no one goes home on empty stomach. Buy enough drinks too and you are good to go. People will go home happy and you are satisfied too. Food is served once.

Re: Doing Traditional And White Wedding On The Same Day Or On Different Days? by MVLOX(m): 8:57pm On May 23, 2016
My take is on this matter is pay the bride pride on a lowkey setting then celebrate either the white wedding or the traditional....I prefer just 1 as against 2 base on the current state of the economy ooo

Do a simple wine carrying, indoor things...move on to your white wedding. That's if you desire sef.

Where I come from, traditional marriage is done in the girl's village_ except you plan doing your white wedding in the bride's village or dragging the traditional to town.
^^^none of the above sits well with me, I love that village/local traditional wedding setting.

I had mine same day and it was splendid. why waste money on double refreshments. You can do ur engagement in the morning and end it in church and reception.

To shock you my reception was within the church premises.

If you're not trying to save every penny, do it on different days. Both ceremonies are beautiful...whatever is worth doing is worth having fun with.

Having said that, please prepare for your marriage over and above a wedding smiley Congratulations!
