wedding isn't expensive in edo state. Bride price is very affordable.

sniper77:



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.

Toks2008:


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.

my brother thank u for this hint.

My case with my fiancee is a big issue here.

She converted from islam to christianity. All her family members abandoned her for choosing christianity. Her parents are late.

Up till date they dont want to hear anything from her. No aunts no uncle, someone from a different tribe is d one housing and taking care of her.

If i finally want to start d marriage rite, wont there be difficulty for both me and her?

Help me here my brother. Ur advise will be key to our marriage.

Their might be a difficulty if you don't approach this issue in a diplomatic way. My guess is your fiancee might be from Owan East L. G. A or Akoko Edo L.G. A where we have most of the Muslims in Edo State.

My take is your fiancee needs to consult with elders in her church on this issue. A peace meeting with her relatives has to be convened in which some church elders has to accompany her to make peace with her relatives and also get some elders from her village involved.

All issues have to be resolved amicably because they are the same relatives your family, you and your fiancee will visit for traditional marriage rites to be performed. I wish you all the best.

Yes
Thank me when you finish

Gelengelen:
bro...she is from auchi, etsako west. We really need her people like u have pointed out.

Presently we are in niger state. Her brothers live among the hausa muslims there. Going to that area might warrant them attacking us cause it is a taboo for a muslim to convert to christian and what is so bad is that a christian is coming to marry their sister who was once a muslim.

God help me ooo.

Yes u can.Manage thing according to uur pocket.dnt go and buy cow/drinks on credit.Dnt try to impress anybody with extravagance lifestyle/wedding.remember it is for a day.Mr/Mrs Kelechi wedding is diff to Mr/Mrs Adewunmi wedding.May U not be put to shame

spiralwedge:
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

LOL....
