Hmm. They've finally paid OP's arrears so he's quickly come to open a thread. Jokes aside, I don't see why not. It wouldn't look grand but its a wedding nonetheless. Also keep in mind how flashy a wedding is does not guarantee the marriage would last. If your budget is more money than you receive on a regular basis then I'd recommend throwing a modest wedding and spending more maintaining your new family. Those people you impressed during your wedding would not give you the time of the day when you complain of financial woes in future. 2 Likes |

blaise00700: Yes you can, but that is after you've paid all the traditional rites. Economy is not smiling. Btw, I'm surprised an Anambra man is marrying outside of his tribe, I always thought it's a taboo. Way to go Op. Congratulations in advance!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

blaise00700: You did not state if it's white or traditional wedn.but that amt can handle any of the both perfectly if u cut ur coat according to ur size.the most important advice I will give u is to plan the wedn based on close people not exceeding 60 guests especially if its white wedding, make a plan with an eatery outlets for the reception,based on space for 60guests and they will also provide their foods on discounted rate,while also providing their space for ur use either free or token amt for their diesel,u will now provide drinks,and DJ to spice up the gathering, definitely u will have a lot of change from the 500k if u follow my plan,that's the new trends now,saving money,stress free,and above all u have done ur wedn and invited guest are well refreshed with rich meal. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Budget Cheap hall (with facilities)=40k Decoration= 10k Cake = 10k Food= 100k Drinks= 30k Ring= 7k Clothes= 40k Miscl = 20k TOTAL =257K You can cut cost on hall by using an open field, but there's stress of canopies/chairs/tables etc. Also, you can cut cost on food. The most important thing is to have 200k saved in a fixed deposit in a bank that you can only touch a month after wedding 2 Likes |

Congrats! You have got yourself a fine Edo bride. Joining the league of OBJ, Danjuma & co. ![]() You can manage 500k. Sit down with your babe and decide what's important. She can let her family know the size of the occasion you're planning. Certainly let her know your budget and you can both work around that. No need to rent a hall. The bride's family house, church's own hall or local school will do nicely for reception. Generally in Edo, bride price is a token. In many families, they even return most of the token to you. Symbolically to use to look after their daughter. As for the list, there are slight variations from village to village, from town to town. Your in-laws will give you your exact list. You're sure to enjoy the colourful occasion. Tip: a contingency sum of about 100k would be a good thing. 4 Likes |

Nellybank: No wonder why guys will enjoy free sex and wife duties from their girlfriends till they get tired and move on to the next. How much did most of our parents use to organize their wedding those days?definitely not even up to 200k equivalent of today's money. How many months will it take a man earning say 70k a month to save 500k provided he saves 50% of the money each month? I write again,i weep for the future of our ladies cos if this type of question can be asked,i wonder what will be in the minds of many guys in their 30s who don't even have a job yet. If every Naija lady can follow this simple advice in the case of low funds i guess many ladies will never remain single and frustrated and im not talking about hopeless materialistic ladies hoping to meet a made guy but a decent and responsible lady who is poised for greatness irrespective of a man's money. 1.Do the intro and pay the bride price in a low key intro and engagement 2.Proceed to the registry to legalize your wedding 3.Plan gently towards the big time wedding ceremony while living your life and raising your family. If you think this is dumb then simply follow this advice 1.Continue to offer free sex and wife duties to the guy who is not financially ready but always ready to screw the shit out of you. 2.Continue to wait and wait for him to attain a certain financial level until you grow older and lose your value 3.Get dumped when he eventually gets the money and start the process all over with a new man. Even the famous omotola jalade had her traditional marriage 5years after her court wedding. but many ladies foolishly wait for the guy to gather enough money for all the the forms of wedding ceremony and at teh end of the day,when the guy is fully set,he dumps her ass for a younger chic. 3 Likes |

A man once told me spending 250k in Benin is the maximum for a good wedding. He just had his wedding then which was very well organised. I've organised a lot of programs in Benin and can confidently confirm it. A good hall of like 200 people with facilities should be about 30k-40k. You can use Uniben's Banquet Hall for about 20k. Feeding and drinks 100k-120k. Decorations with flowers and all 20k you can use students which will be cheaper just look for whoever is decorating for RCF or NSCF. Music and DJ can be 30-40k including a live band(talk to RCF choirif you use Banquet). Get Nice well tailored suits at Forrestry Road, Benin 15-20k each, they have some of the best tailors in Nigeria there. If you need any help contact me and I will link you up with guys over there. Cheers and happy married life. Don't worry about the bride price just treat the lady well Benin folks don't sell their women, but if you dare maltreat her? You will regret ever marrying from Edo state. Cheers 3 Likes |

Gelengelen: We do not sell our daughters out in marriage. We only give out their hands in marriage and wish them marital bliss. The moment you are told the bride price you will be amazed. The bride price might just be less than half the price of a moccasin shoe at mandilas. i. e an amount very affordable and in most cases kids around during the ceremony are given the money to buy sweets and biscuits. 1 Like |
