[quote author=obamartins post=77792639]I just stumbled on my marriage note where I wrote down all my expenses while I prepared for my marriage and decided to share. This topic is to guide those planning for their wedding on how much on the average they should budget for their marriage. Although the amount you will spend depends on what you want and the tribe/family you are marrying into. I actually budgeted N1,200,000 (1.2 million) but ended up spending close to 2million. I got married November 2018 to my beautiful esan girlfriend of 4 years. Here is the breakdown: Pre-wedding 1. Lab test for HIV, Genotype and pregnancy (as instructed by the church) - N5000 2. Transportation to take her to see my parents - N10,000 3. Ring 18 karat gold (engagement, and wedding rings) - N75,000 (from aboki) 4. Wedding certificate - N4000 5.

Re: How Much Did You Spend on Your Wedding? by Guruindahouse(m): 9:48pm On Apr 23, 2019 |
You will surely make it then. But I will warn you of all those unexpected expenses. They will certainly comes up but don't give in to any pressure from your wife or any relative. Talk to your wife why you are doing this, and i am sure she Will understand. Stick with your budgets since you don't invite a lot of people. From experience, spending even 20m naira doesn't guarantee that no one will complain during a wedding ceremony. All the best! famouscargo4u: 1 Like |
