pansophist:


My condolence on your cousin's loss albeit, do not generalize on women. There are wonderful women out there and if you find her, believe me, you found heaven. Although, I can understand your sentiments. Modern women can be a nutcase but again, they can't win when you refuse to play.

LynnnCHI:
Yes a million is ok .

All you need to do is to make the two ceremonies same day.Preferably,the white wedding should be done in the village of the bride or around same town.You can do this in any time of the day,if you guys are catholic better!A priest can fix you guys on any during morning massFirst mass on a Sunday is sweet because the coverage in video will show we'll dressed congregants.


After that proceed to the venue of the traditional wedding.Do your thing.Avoid buying can drinks.Make sure more than 90 are in bottles.Avoid high drinks like Heineken and Guinness,buy in little quantities if you must.

Other cheap brands are Hero,Goldberg,Star,Legend,etc

As a ph guy,where your money should be spent is on drinks.You see this small small liquors dey sell 100 naira is very very important.a carton should be around 3k or less.Like pasa bitters,Baby oku,Erujeje,etc.

Village guys dey like them well well.


I think a million naira is Ok
And during rainy season things are relatively cheap.I wish you the best.Atleast you get1 million.Some people no get to pay bride price sef.




Let's say my guy has 1 million this is what I will do.

First monetizing the whole thing may cost 300k to 350k including bride price.

2 cow head costs 40k.Big ones like 43k
You can add a carton of turkey like 10k-13k or close eye buy He-goat 25k to use for only bitter leaf soup and remove ogbono soup.

Bag of rice 18k
Gallon of red oil ten liters is 4000
Vegetable oil 9000
Tomatoes fresh 6000
Tin tomatoes 3000
Other ingredients including Maggie salt and the rest around 7k
Two basket of onions 2k

Soap Egusi a bucket is ok
And ogbomo half bucket is ok
Every other ingredients for soup is minor.Na the meat and fish be the look

2 bag of semo 6k
Garry or Akpu 6k

You can add salad or moimoi if you want.Salad is perfered cos w cheap for rainy season.Cabbage carrot and Irish potatoes and eggs are ok with biggest bama.Person wey know how to run am no go spend more than 5k.Secret if good salad na creaming.Blend sugar with bama and peak milk and salad go sweet.

Remove like 20k -25kfor dried and stock fish
Cameroon pepper like 500 is ok
Crawfish bucket is 1500

Renting of pots and canopies depending on how many 25k

Renting of wedding gown like 20k

Both of your traditional wear both of you can wear good lace for 10 yards around 35k in lagos Island market.You can chose to wear normal Senator.Aba near Ph ,you fit run an there with your wedding suit.Just buy better check material see the suit them buy plain material for trouser wey go fit am.E no cost.Just use good tailor wey no work The color of trouser should be same as your blazers.

Better shoe for island you will buy 12k.But you can still buy two for that amount.If I'm a guy I go vesper buy correct OK sanders like 8k for traditional wedding and 5k shoe for whites.I don't like cover shoes on senator wears.Good leather palm sandals is classy!Just pedicure your legs well.

Gele and shoe around 10k
Beads like 3k
And there's provisions to rent if need be.

For drinks
250k is ok
You can buy local liquors like They sell 100 in four cartons.The reason is that this little drinks are handle and when guys begin to take it with other bottles they will get really high.Just make it available and cold.

Go for other hots like captain jack,etc

Calculate and get back to me make we add more.

U are very right. Though I don't know much about marriage ceremonies in Igbo land or any part of the country, but I heard that it is usually very expensive in Igbo land, especially in Imo state.

iyke649:

Caseless:
I love with my head. I just don't fall like that; one leg in, one leg out. I can't stand a crushing heartbreak.

Johnbosco1:
Plan the wedding with your fiancee. If she's matured and willing to live with you forever, then 1mil will do to an extent. The fact you are the one bringing out the money doesn't mean it is "your" wedding alone.
I tell you the truth, if you really want to marry her according to ngwa people traditional standards and do your white wedding on separate days, that money won't do anything not unless you are planning to celebrate with 5-6 persons as some people suggested. Plan with her and she may clear the runway(talking to her parents) ahead of you. She may not say how she would help but know this, they all help especially when it comes to having a partner that is not from Ngwa.
That's a secret they wouldn't want me to share, I hope you explore it.
PS. As much I love all the comments for this thread, suffice it to say that not even one person has had real experience with ngwa people and their marriage traditions. if they did, they would be inclined to tell you that they are almost similar to mbaise people when it comes to LIST. Be Wise

Caseless:



The line in bold really got me laughing.

Their idea of a small wedding could be the turnout you have for el classico match between Barcelona and Madrid in camp nou. You're right . She could even join her family to do their bidding.

Eketem:
More than enough.

Have the service and reception the same day probably on a week day.

After the service go home change into traditional and do the reception as the traditional wedding

Caseless:
you don't like me for that?

Well, you're so natural and real in your picture and I like that.

From the hair, to your complexion , the background and the expression...everything go well. You're beautiful. Don't say anyone should call you ugly.


Please I carry God beg you, don't go bleaching your skin or else, you lose your beauty.

iyke649:
wat if she no accept?

iyke649:
Hello folks. I'm planning to wed my fiancee. Considering how tight this country is I want to know if the above amount is adequate to do both traditional n white wedding. My fiancee is igbo. Same with me
