yuzedo: My Wedding:

1. Less than 50 guests.
2. Reception in my compound.
3. Sliced Bread & Stew + Coke (2 to 1 bottle)
4. Honeymoon in one of the rooms of my brother's mansion.

Budget?
1. 10 loaves of Butterfield Bread + Two Crates of Coke = N4500
2. Reception Venue = Free
3. Honeymoon = Free

do you have to make it so big?

Profidada: What borders me most is this issue of honey moon. You see a couple during wedding only for them to disappear into tin air with their cell phones switched off all in the name of honey moon. Some find themselves in hotel fucking without telling anyone their location. What if something strange happens where will the necessary assistance come from.

Damn, i havent laffed for some tym on dis site! This one got me.

Its ok but personally i dont find mr biggs appealing as a wedding Reception/ lunch venue. Reason been that the food tastes funny ever since i became an adult (i think a few will agree with me) ... Since a wedding is suppozed to be a memorable event id suggest u sought the assistance of friends/ relatives to cook at home and you can have the lunch in your living room or if its small then you could put up a meduim sized canopy in the compound, plastic chairs and tables dont cost much to rent.
In addition get a dj in the same manner you get the cooks.. Scout for one among your cousins, brothers, brother in laws, friends etc someone should be good at spinning.

All the best.

jigawatts: @OP: its very okay, as long as ur patner is okay with it

As for me, a very little introduction(sitting-room stuff) and Nikkai (Islamic Marriage) in the mosque will seal it for me, Nothing more, after the Nikkai in the mosque, just few foodstuffs will be sealed and shared in the mosque, thats all, no partying, no noise-making, Cash gifts will be highly preferable. NO RECEPTION, NO DANCING, NO NOTHING, We'll do our RECEPTION and DANCING with ourselves later in the Night

Lol...You are a real miser!

ednut1: dis is d kind of tin i want, but my mum will never allow, we went for a weddin in ilorin last month, hall 1m, caterer 2.5m, oda expenses dont knw, 8 cows from wednesday to saturday, govnor came chief iman came, i was jst der smh. Wat wastage, my own mum aand her friends are into opressin each oda

super story...next.

1ndidi2: I picked some ideas from a discussion on wedding expenses and came up with this:


First we would stock up the house with enough foodstuffs,appliances and all the necessary material things to start a home(good food/entertainment is part of honey moon)

Then with the immediate family members alone we do a little get-to-gether in the sitting room for the traditional rites.

On a sunday morning we go to church as normal with very few guests- d IV card would read(wedding/thanksgiving/lunch...) So after the mass proper we give thanksgiving,then we proceed to a mr.biggs or something and order up food/drink for the 'very few 'guests.
All the guests have to be in church and we all proceed together to the venue! Maybe I won't disclose the venue for the lunch so that quarter of the guests won't be @church and one half would be @the 'mr biggs' already(probably ordering up)!

I guess who didn't come to church may miss out!

What do you think?X_X

I think I love this idea but the challenge would likely be the parents on both sides and sometimes the bride. I remember responding to a wallpost of my friend on Facebook once on the issue of wedding where I said if I had my way, 30people would be the maximum number of people at my wedding. When next I called my fiancee, we argued over that for almost 30minutes with her insisting she was only going to wed once in her life time. Anyways, as for me, I have decided that when we want to do the wedding, I ain't going to spend more than what I plan and if they need me to assist more than I plan to, then my take would be no reception and let us serve the meals right there in church.
I remember discussing something like that with my mum and she was like her 1st son's wedding can't be done that way and all stuffs. That day, I missed my dad because I knew he would always listen first even if he isn't going to accept but my mum is the opposite and I too could be very obstinate when I make up my mind. I am just waiting till then and see what plays out because I am not ready to waste money I can use to plan for my family feeding people who all they have to do at my wedding is to come merry.

Some few friends usually know where the honeymoon is.

Tanks sis! Money aint d problem,I just want a lowkey/different arrangement.

There is no such thing as moderate in Nigerian wedding. Just ready your bank account. Otherwise your relatives will be using you as reference point of what not to do 10 years from now

Billyonaire: Weddings and Child Dedication are things you should not hold back your spending. These are happy moments in a lifetime. If you do not spend on Weddings, do you prefer to spend on burials or memorials ? Common, if you must be married, be financially okay. And make sure you spend money on it. I hate conservatism when it comes to once in a lifetime event. Stop this misers mindset, we are not Londoners.

so u ll encourage ppl to borrow so as to ve a society wedding they dnt need. It all boils down to wat one can afford n getting ones priorities right plus separating needs frm wants. More like cut ur coat according to ur cloths

All the babes here just dey run their mouth that u are cheap for wanting a small wedding. These same girls no get 10 kobo and may not even know how to work for one yet they all want big weddings. If you know what its like to make money in this present economic climate you would understand that only the pastor prayer is enough. If you have the raw cash splash it but if you don't ? Pls send no one. I rather have a simple wedding and have a splendid honey moon than wasting my money on food that guests don't even eat.

plz i need to know d court wedding procedure, mine is december plz get me informed tanks.

They will only use you as a bad example if you are not doing well in life but if you are, they would use you as a positive reference. Therefore, why not define yourself before it gets too late.

They will then claim you are stingy. Of course you shouldn't base your life on what your relatives say, but you need to know its going to be there.
