@justwise

You have no idea how correct you are with your posts. I have been reading some comments here and going through the past posts of some posters, you will know their true intention and level of intelligence. This busybody justs loves to spew undiluted crap and talks and talks and talks so much incoherent nonsense accumulating mega byte space of Nairaland that could be used up valuably by someone who has something better to post.

Always yanning opata, always causing mayhem,always derailing reasonable threads and thats the most painful part. For example, someone like me, sees a topic of interest and you read to get other people's intelligent views and you end up with such slow pokish comments and posts like those of busybody and you wonder why in the first place you bothered to open that thread. Its really bad and irritating and someone might be forced to believe its a 14 year old retarded girl writing this nonsense and derailing threads. Its quite sicken to be honest!

TOPE2000!:

Too much . . .its madness
There is a life after wedding now . . . . . .na loan repayment go seperate the couples

Tope, are you this cheap?
U think 10 milla naira is too much?

Do you know how much a decent wedding planner charges for weddings these days?

make i quickly comot thread before toowise and r231 cottons on to d fact that although it looks like i am saving them 39k by having a small wedding, i intend to recoup this savings and divert into my own account using a few more of my feminine wiles that i have up my sleeve, lol.

@tope

Its not abt cheap . . . . . so if u dont have 40k, u wont get married
There are alot of simple but elegants weddings that doesnt cost that much . . . . . i dont need a over the top wedding planner b4 i have a perfect wedding.

Simplicity and elegance CANNOT co-exist.
If you want to serve Chivita and Paraga on your wedding day, na you sabi.
My wedding should be the most special day of me life so i am spending £££ on it. Tomorrow's troubles will take care of itself.

I am 100% certain a crappy wedding won't give you a happy married life as well.
Na people like you dey do WEDDING MK II because the first one sucked semen.

Adam Brody, come why are u always diligently wrongly accusing me of always derailing threads, albeit rightly, lol. look here if u no take time, i will campaign till you are crowned nairajand's " chief derailing monitor/moderator", so if u like yourself, DON'T PUSH IT.

You prolly underestimate what you see in those weddings.
2 of ma mates had their weddings in 2009 and the combined cost of the whole shiznit was around £40K.
Of course, the bride's family contributed some of it too but £40K is £40K.

Who ever said £40K amounts to a man's life savings.
It's something people plan for. It doesn't just happen like a date to the London Zoo or Vue.

Don't mind Sauron. You know he is like all those owambe kind of people that can party till dawn sweating till daybreak.

In this recession? One can have a $10,000 wedding and still have it look grand! Just cut the guests to a minimum.

OP
It depends on the sort of wedding you want to have. Go big and spend your life savings. Go small and save money you can put towards your down payment on a house

£40K wedding is nothing, trust me.

How much do you need?

Not much - 50k in naira can get you married comfortably in the registry.

Why not? People waste money on weddings - spending millions and they are driving tokunbo cars and renting flats. Isn't that stupid?  

Spend money on your future. . . no, waste money yes.

After all that they will now be pricing meat aggressively in the market, as if it's the aboki's fault that they wasted money. Mugus.

The amount of money they spend on their wedding isn't going to build em a new house in Lagos anyways.

What you give is what you get. The couples who spend money on their wedding recoup em back via mouth-watering gifts.

If all the people you know are hungry people, they will chop your food and leave you with 1,000 plastic buckets and cheap cutlery sets as gifts.

So by your own estimation, how much do you think one should spend on a GRAND wedding(including traditional)?

Depends on your income - anyone who personally spends over 6 months salary on a wedding is being wasteful. If your parents can afford more and choose to spend, that is their own decision.
