Moonstone:

Are you flippin' kidding me?
So wedding expense is now dependent on one's virginity? That's ridiculous. How does a woman's promiscuity determine how much her wedding should cost?

Calm down love!! when i said virgin mary i was refering to an angel, basically saying i'm not going to spend that much no matter who i'm wedding.

U interpreted my post from another angle.

Moonstone:

You can be cheap all your life, don't just be cheap on the best day of your life. . .

Moonstone:

Phew! Thanks for clearing that up
Of course I did cos virgin mary was a human being.
When you're getting married to someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, money should not be an issue. . . . . . except it'll throw you in heavy debt. I mean brides want a million-dollar (naira is too cheap) wedding. They want the Vera Wang dress, impeccable China, wonderful hall. They want the talk of the town. Except a lady is willing to be considerate, that's the kind of wedding you should aim to give her.
You can be cheap all your life, don't just be cheap on the best day of your life. . .
@ Crackles, I won't hyperventilate on such an issue. As long as no one decides to become a hypocrite

I don't understand, what do you mean by just don't be cheap on the best day of your life

I can give my bride a wedding to remember without spending stupi.d amount of money, i rather use that money to look after her. There is life after wedding, kids will come into the picture. If she want top-dollar wedding beyond my plan then her bank balance will feel it as well.

Moonstone:

switch the 'just' and 'don't' and you'll get my drift. I was too preoccupied to notice that one.

Paying £40,000 for a wedding is pure madness, marriage is supposed to be a life time committment, u don't waste your saves on wedding alone and after that u start living on credit card and loans or start saving from scrach again.

Moonstone:

Well a wedding is just the beginning of your marriage. It's worth it to marry someone and to make her happy. As most people say, it's the bride's day.
She might not want to cause a hassle but don't let her miss out on her dream day.

I'm with u on the issue of making her happy, surely thats wat any decent man wants fro the bride, but u don't have to break the bank to do that.

Moonstone:

I am not saying you should break the bank o! Just do what you can. No man should be horribly broke after his wedding. It's what he can afford. If you have 200,000 pounds in your account, what stops you from using up 40,000?

So what are you saying?

justwise:

That is a big IF, but nobody should do 9-5 and save only to spend it on wedding costing £40,000.

even if you have £1M in the acct £40K is still ridiculous ki lo de
pple will come and eat then leave talk about it for couple of days Ovation and Co

deji2009:

That's some people mentality. without complicating anything. I would say £5,000-10,000.

Well for 9-5, I suppose 5,000 is okay then or maybe even 10. Or is that so horrible as well?


^ that's what i'm saying

deji2009:

With any level of education et cetera, in the united kindom people dont complicate things

whether is 9 to 5 whatever marriage is marriage. Money is not easy to see like that unlike

our corrupt country. [size=18pt]I have a friend that just wedded and i can guarantee you he spend

no more than 2000 and he got wedded to a beautiful delta state girl. very beautiful girl[/size]
