My friend! Out of close to a million naira list i was giving, Nothing of her is included not even a lipstick. everything is for the family even the food they are going to cook is not included, that one is a separate fee...
humm! i have never seen a very greedy tradition like that until now.
my dear most well to do family take care of the food themselves as a way of saving cost for the guy n more so contest the list to a reasonable minimum cos their daughter is not a commodity to be sold away

Only God knows why Nigerians love parties especially wedding so much. Personally, it's less than 50k. Just a 20 guest wedding.
We aren't enlightened enough yet.

She planned 500k, I spent 300k like 500k. I got contributions of 1m .I used the change to buy our first car ,which is serving us very well now .
Pple don't use their brain when planning wedding .waste money on irrelevances and They spend fortune in a day and struggle to balance for many Years .

April 22 remains a nightmare until when it's over..
My gal is not co-operating with me at all,keep inviting family and friends both offline and online it's like she don't understand that there is marriage after wedding.
She's busy choosing this and that while I m having difficult time sleeping and eating even when the food is served.
Almost the same problem a buddy is going through. Talk to her, and make her face reality undecided..

There are things called wedding anniversaries, birthday celebrations, renewal of vows etc which can be celebrated in grand styles when the money starts rolling in excess..

Her friends wouldn't be there to help when you finally run into huge debts. Do what you can jare or like my buddy told his wife-to-be, 'get a priest and marry yourself.'

Sorry ooo. You need to sit her down and explain things to her. Have you communicated your feelings about this to her? communication is the key bro. I'm sure she'll understand your plight except she never really loved you in the first instance

Alihamudullilahi, islam, makes a different, My mariage nikahi cost me just 55,000. Naira. Including dowry, and transportation, and Allah, bless the union, in no small measure, as the matriage open the door of blessing, since then from grace to grace, now we are no more tenants, Marriage is not about the money you spend on your wedding day, but how you chose your spouse, still thank my Father who chose better wife for me after my NYSC.

Am not thinking of getting married, but if I am going to eventually do it, it will be introduction and registry. That shouldn't cost a lot

Some families are like that. Particularly those our families from the East. They'll tell you that it is the community that owns a child.
I am from the East but in my place, the lady and her people handles everything about the traditional with the man handling the white wedding plus our bride price is very tiny (doubt if its up to a thousand naira sef).. The items for "ndi nne, nna" etc can be negotiated on..

IMO, weddings should be a joint effort. No matter how wealthy a man is, there should be something the girl's family should be able to add/support/provide/afford on that day though it still boils down to the kind of family you are getting married from..

My mum's dad, with all his wealth gave his daughter FOC, and warned her husband. 'The day you raise your hand on her, I collect my daughter back. She isn't for sale neither is she a slave.'
