yea
it was around 7- 8 before but when the whole planning started things changed and it still changing

The cost of a wedding depends on the individual concerned.  I have seen cases where most men and women have insisted in having expensive wedding.

However, from what I have seen most women like expensive wedding; because they believe it is a one in a lifetime celebration.  There are som many things that is also once in a life time. They would tell you they want to keep it simple, but deep inside them they want a big celebration. So they go for expensive wedding halls, very expensive ring etc.

How much you spend or how grand your wedding ceremony is does not determine the success of your marriage.  Most couple plan how to spend money on their wedding ceremony and leave out how to spend money on the marriage.  Most people stretch themselves to the limit in preparing for a wedding because of the unrealistic budget.  So they set up different committee of friends.  Committee of Friends in the Office, of Old School Mates, in the Church, etc.

No matter how much you spend your wedding would not be the best in the world neither would it be the worst. Even if your have the means, moderation should be the watchword.

Cant we do the wedding via web conferencing all the guest sign in to our wedding/meeting ID and listen to us exchange vows after 30minutes they disconnect their phone.

Wedding over

true

what you got as Reimbursement after sending so lot of money to your wedding ? and after that you start going door to door begging again

Weddings costing a lot means you are purchasing the girl.
Therefore after such expenses, if she misbehaves i will sell her organs.

oh oh

its more expensive in london

nothing but common sense.

Its costing me sensible planning. This is real action with little spending.

You are all invited. Details @ www.oluwasegunfunmi.org

Got married 3 weeks ago, spent about 2.2 mil.

C'est la vie!

she must be a virgin and i will spend 2mil

for the weddin we spent a little over a 700k including the tradtional rites because we kept it low key but the ring itself cost close to half a million,my wife told me she wants that expensive ring because its once in a life time and since we can both afford it we went for it.

@poster,
i think it all depends on ur capacity. Generally, wat should guide u shld be d reality of catering for ur family u will face after d wedding feast. So many financial needs will surface that u ddnt foresee.
Remmber u may not want to start owing after d wedding.
I just did mind not too long ago, i spent according to my financial strenght as at that time like N700k. and everytin went on well i thank God.
wish d best.

I feel for you. Hope you will still be able to laugh and dance well on the day when you discover that most of the money you worked for is gone in just 2 days

as for me 80k is enuf 4 it,
no 2much pple
my elder brother, mum and 2 frnds will be in attendances

To some it's their happiest day, I'll send depends on my account status but will never borrow, lol

I won't borrow money for my wedding but hope the total cost doesn't exceed N2m.

@ poster, it is not how far but how well. The amount of money spent nor the talk about town doesn't determine the success of a marriage. It is the understanding between the husband and wife that matters

tell me about it bro. I am feeling it alrdy. you don't want to see the first budget i have to use d biggest cutlass to srt slicing it down and you know sometimes it not easy to take a woman away from their dream wedding all you hear is I AM ONLY DOING IT ONE TIME. As for me i don't mind wearing a £100 suit and just get on with it but they don't see it dat way

as much as i can afford
