Thanks. So far I have managed to save 800k. I told the lady we should try and budget 500k, so we still have some change but she claim I don't value her and says I should step it up to 1.4m. She also say I must buy a ride, DAT she can't be married and trekking.
Really? Let me ask what is she supporting you with ( Financially) ? If she is not supporting in any way , please tell her to still stay in her father house , may be when she is over thrirty she go get sense. Nosense, so she value a day ceremony more than a life time commitment. So after wedding she want to start sucking garri?

Anything is possible, even with N100k

correct planning is the success of anything in this life.

MrBigiman:
I have a heart felt question to ask, can one conduct a wedding ceremony with 500k in this recession. Kindly advice and give a Bachelor a reasonable break down. God bless.

I need to ask, is the 500k all the money you have in your savings or just what you have earmarked for you wedding?
if the former is the case, please hold on a while and try to save some more or reduce your wedding budget by 200k . U should never start a marriage with an empty account balance.
If the latter is the case, i will proceed to breakdown the expenses for you.
Traditional marriage : (200k)
- attire for couple : 30k
-5 crates of malt (120pcs) : 15k
-Half bag of rice and condiments: 40k
-1 cow leg : 15k
- Marriage rites 100k ( This will work only if you have an understanding bride and inlaws)
Borrow a home theater system to her place for music and play from your phone using auxiliary wire.

Wedding / Registry : 300k
Groom suit, shoes, shirt :20k (You can get a wonderful suit from Ariaria market for 14k)
Brides outfit : 50k
Dj :10k (Get a friend to do Mc)
catering for 100 people : 100k .(Budget 1k per person, it will be enough) everybody must not chop grin
Chairs, canopies, decoration: 50k
Rings, Cake : 50k
photography :50k

Tips on how to save more money
1. Do trad and white same day. This saves half of the cooking and logistics fund which can be utilized elsewhere.
2. Use an open field for reception
3. Avoid buying asoebi with the hope that people will buy from you.most people especially family will just collect and not pay back. give colours of the day instead.
4. You do not need to print 200 invitation cards. about 20 pcs will do for your esteemed guests, the rest can be invited electronically
5. Please , please and please, do not waste money on plenty 5 step cake and a bejeweled bouquet, or even expensive bridal shoes. You will have no need them after that day
6. You do not need emblazoned souvenir bags, there are plenty plastic souvenirs sold for 100 naira each.
7. You do not need to collect photobook ooooo. Many photographers use that to scam couples . What I did during my wedding was that I hired 2 cameras video and photo (5D) for 2 days at 15k each per day. I gave a relative to take pics and he put the soft copies in a flash for me. everything for trad and white cost 70k and i Had great quality pics. I did the photobook and two frames at a later date when we had recovered small and it was way cheaper doing it myself.
8. Please do not serve alcohol at ur wedding if you want to cut cost.

If the 500k is for only wedding ceremony then you do not have wahala. Just ensure you and your bride are on the same page and she knows exactly how much you have to spend.

800k home and abroad, yet she'scomfortable with you spending more than half of it and even still asking for more? Even saying she cant trek after marriage? Bros abeg for your sake and your future sanity, rethink this marriage thing with this girl, these are signs of things to come i dey tell you.

Acidosis:


Please do not create problems for yourself. To buttress Ishi's point, majority of the problems we face today are man-made. We spend 20 hours creating problems for ourselves, and then struggle through the remaining hours of the day looking for solutions.

You have saved N800,000. Go ahead and marry a woman that shares same orientation with you. Many women out there do not need the 'ovation' kind of wedding... don't be scared of anything, they all possess the same body structure and endowment. Spending N1 trillion on a wedding won't automatically give you access to four brea.sts on your wedding night.

A group of businessmen just sat down and derived a way to suck out money from intending couples and they felt the best way to go about it is to build wedding dress worth millions, event centres, etc. Since they are aware that many people out there are mu.mu "sheep-ers" to celebrities, they make sure their services and products get endorsed by celebrities.

You are a human with a mind of your own, you can break the chain!

About the car talk, I sincerely think that you're about getting married the wrong woman. If your woman is not ready to take that public transport with you, then quit. Get a car at a convenient period when you're sure that YOU (not a girlfriend) will NEED it.

If Danfo is what you use, ensure you get a woman that feels comfortable in Danfo, if she bothers you with Uber requests, quit! She's not your type.

How much has she contributed to the wedding! Or does she think she is doing you a favour by marrying you? Let her bring the remaining N900k, una 2 don become 1 now! You go kill yourself. Ladies pay more attention to what people will say about their wedding & not how blessed their marriage will be!

But it is true that goes to a large extent to show just how nonsensical the whole concept of religion is. Theists are constantly looking for people to share in their delusion and if you don't you are an enemy

Since my family know I do not believe in their god they are acting funnier than usual and I really do not care. Who dem epp? undecided
