hmmm.. Weddings are beautiful while marriage is the real deal. but one shouldn't because of this ignore the importance of having a beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony... I got married 5 months ago and I have no regret financially or otherwise for having a beautiful wedding ceremony. One have to be careful not to spend his last dime on the wedding ceremony. It also helps when you have a supportive in-laws, my in-law didn't bill me a dime outside what was necessary, even where I was not buoyant enough, they supported me. Moderation is the bedrock of it all, and when you're with your own person, mount kilmanjaro will be like gurara falls to you.

I dont even understand the girl I want marry again.

Then don't marry.. Beta safe than sorry

Solution cut your coat according to your size

Must you do dream wedding?

Do small wedding, after your guests get home they won't remember after 2days

Bridal shower isn't necessary if you can't afford it,get regular photographer if you can't do photo book
If you can't afford caterer share puff Puff and plastic bottle water for your wedding guest
You don't have to rent hall.the front of your house is OK.just rent canopy and chairs

Wedding ceremony is just for your family and friends to witness you're married but Nigerians have turned it to something else

Just look for a girl who's not all about the glamour or an instagram slave who lives to impress like the likes of mercy aigbe

Wedding is overrated abeg.. We need something meaningful.

A flamboyant wedding is okay if it's within your means but at the same time, Nothing stops a woman from assisting he man.

marriage na overrated stuff, some marriages dey sweet ooo, the wahala wey follow too much abeg

Lunagirl:
Cut your cloth accordingly. You must not have a wedding that will be featured in a newspaper. You must not have a wedding better than your friends own.

Do what you have to do with what you have. Everything depends on the bride and groom. If they share the same mindset, all these unnecessary expenses will be cut off.

Wedding is one day, marriage is forever.

If you really want to go big, either have a truckload of money or wait till your fifth anniversary.

Would you go with a guy who can only afford 200k for weddings?

Abi na how u see am?

1.5m can't handle wedding anymore

But 1k can bleep a girl.

Girls will rot in their parents house until things change

Before I got married, I told. I told my partner " listen , I have dreams, dreams. Dreams bigger than all of us and will take me further to the edge of the world". She agreed to be by my side no matter where my dreams will take me to. Nothing will stop my shine!

222Martins:
I thought i am alone in this

She had the guts to even tell me she loves me even if she doesn't show it and that she hopes I understand with her. You can imagine. She called this morning to ask if I had finished her cv which I willingly offered to edit properly, that is the first call in one week. Same girl I gave thirty thousand naira for upkeep on the 14th of this month. She always calls when she has about 5naira airtime left so I always have to call back and get a stupid explanation of 'my airtime got finished'. Her sins are too many I dont know her anymore. We started dating in 2007 in our sss3 and up till today I have never seen a sent message in her phone. All that cant be honesty and faithfulness.

THAT'S LADIES FOR US...................

Wedding is overrated and most ladies are not helping issues at all. All they want is to show off how rich their husband is without considering the effect it will have on his pocket.
Worst still, most ladies and their family think it's the responsibility of the husband to foot the wedding bill. Guys should learn to take a stand and not let any lady push them into debt because of an ordinary ceremony.

All I can say is I love your model couple. They are so cool...their colour and attire on point!

Guys! Never allow a girl push you do what is beyond your power cos they know how to cry for guys neck saying "my own wedding must beat Mary's own". That's why some guys go look as if they are doing funeral on their wedding day because they have crossed their limit. Whereas the no send you, she go dey dance around like say all her life problems have been solved

It is not appropriate spending millions of Naira on wedding when that money can help the couples to invest in different businesses and build good homes. Ati gbe Iyawo ko te jo, owo obe lo soro.

Raine80:
Most female mindsets are resistant to the concept of helping the man. Partially cultural, some religious influences and an unhealthy helping of ignorance. So if you bankrupt the man before you set up home together how will that be a happy home. It's lack of common sense the view is about the wedding ( what people will think never know who these so called people are as no one can provide specifics) not about that marriage. Because if they thought about the marriage and the future sanity would prevail.

Oh yes oooo.
I must do my dream wedding because if I don't they will finish all the money I have.
My dream wedding wont cost more than 120k.

Even in my dreams, I won't spend N200k for pre wedding photos. I still won't even if God decides to bless me with N30 Billion.


Some things are simply unnecessarily stup!d. I'd rather use that money to buy clothes for myself or send to a sibling in need.

ndcide:

That's the guy I'm looking for.
Someone who is ready to stick his head with me and refuse to spend more than 150k for wedding.
It's difficult to see them these days.
Used to think its women that had that problem.

Newly weds have the mindset that, all of their worries will just be erased by the overflowing joy of their wedding day.
Hmmm...partly true, and partly misleading.

I think our women have the ball in their court. If you're a hardworking woman out there, you need to understand that marriage is a lot of work.
But the wedding day happiness is also important. Those memories will linger, trust me. And you do not want to have a feeling you did something wrong. However, if you think you've done "enough" based on how much your man can afford (and you really love him so much as you said), you should think about the other financial implications of your Cinderella wedding plan.

Summary: Balance what you want with what should be enough. Cheers.

Bro, have experienced 2 weddings like that. It was just held for 2 to 4 hrs. The family house of the lady was the venue. They are living happily today.
