Hmmmm ''lalala''sticlala....e be lyk say the guy too lyk to dey ''la''

It is more than enough! If he wants to save more money, he could do the trad and white wedding the same day (this is me assuming he's a christian and if he's Igbo, I don't think he's going to spend much on trad since the girl's family handles that).

How much be cow * 3?
Then cartons of chicken/turkey say about 10?
Two cartons of fish?
Drinks? (Na this one fit chop money)

1¹/₂ or 2 bags of rice, yam for pounding, semovita and other things; paying caterers. . . Guy, abeg, the money over reach. Except he is planning something elaborate like using a cruise ship as the reception venue and proposing to bae while skydiving. . .

If you ask me, I would say that your brother should cut his cloth according to his size. No reasonable does a wedding without having savings

If your brother is comfortable and lack nothing financially.. and your immediate family are ok too, i will say that amount is a reasonable one...

I expected people to ask how rich or buoyant your brother is before accusing him for reckless spending...if his business is successful, and if that amount will not make much impact on his gain and capital, i will say he should go ahead...I am in support of any thing that will make him happy or anything that will make him sleep at night

@ Op it all depends on the size of your brothers pocket. 3.2 Mil is enough and will have extra changes.

but before he begins to spend a dime out of that money he need to look around him and the situation of the country and where things are headed. no one can predict the situation of this economy. he needs to spend wisely.

because he has soo much to spend now does not mean he shouldnt still save for the future.


if I had such amount now for a party, I would go quite and slash that money into 2, save half and use half for the party. stay strictly on budget, and when I mean budget doesn't mean you see something really big and budget little amount, No that wunt work and that's the mistake some people make when it comes to budget.

an example a clients comes to me for a cake she saw somewhere, a 7 tier cake which would normally cost 170/180k and she tells me she is on budget and wants to pay 70/80k for same cake . or want all her guests to have a menu of 7 and you say you on budget and want to pay less than half the original price. that's where the mistakes come in. or you say you on budget and looking for hall space of 150k in oregun or ikoyi or gra. Or a client says she is on a low budget yet she has printed out over 500 copies of IV and still has a long list of guests attending.

In this present economy there are a lot of desperate vendors who will accept just anything and deliver less than you ordered cause no vendor will add money from his or her own pocket to a clients job, they will rather not do up to what is ordered or use less quality and still make their own profit.

at the long run, it all still boils down to your brother and his wife's taste and size of pocket not also forgetting " their tomorrow ".

if he has made up his mind to have a big wedding then he should go right ahead and have his dream wedding. " using good vendors "

best wishes.
