zinfly:


i am not really one to rain insults on people without just cause. Please in what way does my request or response suggest i am High.

pls d date of ur intending wedding is kinda discombobulating recheck ur date if in doubt.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding. I have helped plan a wedding and I have had mine, too.
I will advise you as follows:

* There is no "small" or "big" wedding, so do not try to impress anybody.

* I advise that you rent your wedding gown. The clitch "you do it once in a lifetime" is not realistic.
I know many ladies who regreted spending hugely on gowns that are boxed up in the house.

* Weddings are all about food and drinks; serve just enough to provide the energy for the trip back home.
Jollof rice with or without moi-moi and a sprinkling of a few traditional delicacies is accceptable. People grumble when they are hungry yet can't something to eat and drink. At a wedding?

* Cakes are only symbolic; nobody feeds full on them, so go for the most basic cake.

* Keep the bridal train to a few friends and relations, unless they will foot the cost of their dress.

* Rent just enough space for the reception; you may not need a live band.

* If the distance is not far, you can have the wedding in Delta and round off in PH. Some people may not be able to attend because of the setup, but the occasion holds.

* Some disagreements between the man and woman are expected, but they always get resolved.

As I do not know the weight of your pocket, I have provided advise on areas I feel people mistakes.

Hope this helps.

The most sensible and practicable advice on this thread!
I'm saving it for future reference. Since my wedding will be coming up soon.

Mine is coming up on the 12 and 13th of Oct,tradition and white respectively in Lagos, Venue: Evangelical Church of Winning All(ECWA)opposite Ojo Military cantonment, You are highly invited.

[b] i still maintain that you do your reception at a resturant or fast food anyone who wants to eat or drink should buy, you can pay for your close friends ..

unless you will do it strictly by invitation.

the reason i said is is the kind of gifts people give in wedding these days will make you laugh. A friend wedded recently, and you will see some matured people will come to the cooling van, you give them normal wine(BRUT) etc and they will say you should give them Moet etc.

they will eat and do take away for family and relatives. what made me laugh the most was one one woman went to to my friend and give him an envelope, the envelope was light so he decided to see what was in it maybe its a check. Guess what he saw inside {{{{N30))). 30 naira . the guys shouted chaiiii on the high table, laugh won kill me .

then you will see someone carry a big package wrapped, and keep it on their table. you know that when those serving in the wedding see someone having such a big package in front of them or beside them, any drink they order they will give it to them hoping that they brought a big gift for the couple.

so they can order 3 bottles of expensive champagne, which they will take home.

only for this big package to be opened, guess what was inside. {{{30 liter gallon}}}. i dont know if the gallon was for them to fetch water or start selling fuel black market.

so i said during my wedding,the reception will be in a restaurant, those who i invited, i will pay for their food and drinks, if you carry that gallon package and come, when you sit down, they will give you the menu and tell you how much the food will cost. if you cant pay, you carry your gallon and go
[/b]

mekaboy: DO YOUR TRAD EARLY IN THE MORNING, DO YOUR WEDDING IN THE AFTERNOON.

DO YOUR RECEPTION IN A RESTUARANT OR FAST FOOD JOINT. ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO EAT OR DRINK SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR FOOD AND DRINKS.

THIS IS HOW I INTEND TO DO MINE

u must b high on fake drugs

Indeed, this is the most sensible, insightful, genuine and well-meaning. Thnks a bunch

Hi zinfly,

There's actually no need to panic! You have got 4 months to plan. You can find all the vendors you need on nairaland, just make sure you have seen their past work.

Being a perfectionist isn't so much a bad thing, i am one too and have learnt to use that trait to my advantage!

zinfly: I am in the same predicament. i am planning my wedding for Feb 2013 and i need some help on how to go about it. i am absolutely lost. My wedding is in port harcourt and i am a bit of a perfectionist who likes great value for money. any help with vendors for make up, decoration, catering and photography will be much appreciated.

Thanks y'all for your advice and suggestions,I really do appreciate and to @Seun for putting this on the front page for more and better advice.

Hello folk, please for those who there nuptial event is coming very soon, I congratulate u.
This guy call Emeka, is just polluting d thread with is humorous advise. Vividly, there is sense in it. But nobody pray for eat and pay kind of wedding. God in His infinite mercy will grant us good speed in all our effort. IJN

thanks dear,
hopefully i can have it all sorted out before Feb. My hubby to be an I don't live in Nigeria so its kinda hard to plan when you are not there and i just cant seem to trust anyone with the little details. Hence, i jumped at this chance so i can speak to vendors before i come back for Xmas. Most vendors seem to be based in Lagos and many that do respond do not have websites. i will be on the lookout and hope good vendors with webpages respond.
