Do the one wey your hand reach leave the rest till wen you get money again. They no dey Marry woman finish. Leave church wedding for now. Go meet pastor for office with few family and friends for office make him bless your marriage. That's all.

Very true.

No go do pass yourself
Forget external hall, use outdoor or church hall
Use dry meat, the chicken don already cross the road
Hire wedding gown of 5k, na just for 6 hours highest
If you get coat wear am, if dem no like am make dem suit dem self
Cancel alcohol, especially if you dey marry Rivers babe
As you dey dance just dey shine your teeth, bolanle pepper dem oo

200k can't work I swear... Frgt plans

TallPck1:
Cut your coat according to your clothes.


Traditional is enough self.


I don't fancy white wedding.

Don't waste resources.


Always remember wedding is for a day. Your guest would all go back home and what happens and how you sustain during your marriage is non of their business. So be wise.

I wonder why white wedding is still prevalent inspite of the campaign

I want to marry.no time and I will marry with what I can afford ,and it is traditional marriage.full stop.

safarigirl:
The invite is for 10 people abi? No photographers, you won't rent a hall or even canopies, you guys already have the clothes,so, you aren't buying/renting wedding outfits. It's holding in a rural area, so, cost of food items Is relatively cheap.

Then, you're good to go. Even to rent wedding gown alone is at least 20k for something that looks partially decent/acceptable.

no mind dem.... How can 200k do trad n white... Unless dey wan dash u wife Wch I did nt support..Traditional items u wl gt fr ur wife alone n families can't be less Dan 100k...

I wonder why many Nigerians don't hearken to this advice, must they wed inside the church?

Dereformer:
Yoruba/Hausa girls, yes. They are very cheap.

Igbo girls, no. They are assets and expensive.

Assets indeed. Those girls that don't have home training

naijazee2:
Hmmmmmmm depends on your partner you can manage it But remember Cut Your Coat according to your size

Cut your coat according to your cloth because your size might be big

deltateam:
The title is clear. Is it possible in Nigeria?

Yes you can. It is more than enough.

DWJOBScom:
Yes and yes
It’s possible

Your personal phone has to be the only camera on board
Invitation would be done via sms only
Bride price - non asked and of course non given
Clothing- borrowed or previously owned
Makeup - borrowed or manage the existing one
Cars - uber or a friend’s car or invite the priest to your house and have everything done there
Feeding - it doesn’t cost much for a get together for 20 strictly by invitation family members - the rest can watch online

Kuku go carry person daughter for free na...shior!

Please don't diacourage other s.

White wedding is super okay.

White wedding is a waste of time and resources.

And who said traditional wedding is not white wedding?

Why do we africans do to traditional weddings. The wedding u refered to as white is the white man's traditional wedding. Why do two weddings?

Emma1Oj:
Since you say it won't be ok, pls support him wit what you have.

Do both the same time in the same venue. after tradition wedding then you ask the pastor to just bless your wedding, serve your guests if food dey. u carry your babe enter house, mata end.

My elder brother didn't serve common water at his wedding. he was just seating at the alter smiling. till everytin end. pple were jus leaving wit strong face. but d most important tin was that he has done is wedding.

Your brother was strict and conservative however he was wise

McTobe:
Once you fulfill the traditional obligations, Go and do Registry Marriage. Then take your wife to a Servant of the lord for prayers ( That is if it resonates within you, if not Don’t)before the Altar of the lord in a consecrated place of Worship of the Most high. Oyibo does only white wedding & registry and here in Nigeria we will do our own marriage, do Oyibo own join.

Some oyibo don't involve crowd during their weddings. Few friends,family members and the priest

naijazee2:
Hmmmmmmm depends on your partner you can manage it But remember Cut Your Coat according to your size

no bro he should cut his coat according to his clothes material.

Genea:
If you are doing wedding for 200k, that means you are broke, how then do you intend on catering for your family

Your response shows that you love elaborate wedding, hope you don't share similar trait with op's fiancée?

Michelle55:
Yes... Very possible...

It all boils down to you and your partner, if she's the type that likes low key occasion then you are good to go..

Pay the bride price and the necessary items( TM don settle) there's no need for loud music and if the people complains of no rice and all, tell them to come back for that during your post-wedding celebration. The only thing worth celebrating is marriage anniversaries and not wedding.

Court wedding if you are both cool with it with few family and friends as witness OR you can opt for blessing of marriage if you are catholic, then go home and entertain your few invited guests.

What's the point of wasting resources unnecessarily when there are 1001 things to do with money after wedding.

Excel in Silence and let your success announce you

Why?

No

Go and work more to it

don4real18:

15k? So, pastors collect money to join couples in marriage

Pastor pays guest minister's transport fare who official at weddings

safarigirl:


What kind of person is the OP? Not everyone is interested in being a charity case.

The best bet for him is a small wedding, like incredibly small, even thee traditional wedding should be small and intimate among family, no one else. The White wedding can even be regulated, but traditional weddings that everyone wants to come and eat free food, will be difficult to regulate.

I wish him the best sha, there is nothing you cannot do if you put your money to it and surround yourself with sensible people.

Traditional wedding can be regulated too. I have seen when bride price are paid at introduction

Fejimummy:
my dad that said he doesn't want more than 30 persons in his house for my traditional wedding that if it exceeds 30 persons I will not do white wedding ���

Your dad is a wiseman.He is a rare gem

deltateam:


You tried but you didn't factor Trad., venue, vehicle etc

You can use one venue for both weddings infact you can do both on same day

jarrot:



You ask question, person give you answer you dey reply with hmmm

divid the money into two, 100k for tradition and the remaining 100k for white wedding, it is possible if you are a good planner and economist, the traditional marriage depence on the tribe of girl, they may ask you to buy items that may cost you much that is just the only place you may encounter challenge but it is possible, after all they are not selling out their daughter.

E2000:
In Europe or America were civilize people live it is possible but in Nigeria, I am not sure

It is possible over here. It depends if op insist he has his way

ednut1:
assets indeed. Imagine buying high bride price for those imsu run gals. Tufiakwa

tufiakwa no be small wan ooo..... IMSU and alvan girls are way out of this world

akezn:
Very simple.
I attended evening mass one tuesday only to meet a young couple on suit and wedding gown with a cameraman snapping them. When it was time for mass, they walked in. Lo and behold, it was their wedding. After mass, my guy carry him bride go house, no reception or anything like that. They are married for about two years now.

So to answer the OP's question, yes, it is very possible.

Exactly! I wonder why many Nigerians like to show off

godunia:
Did mine with 120k and its been over 15 years now, we went to the Registry in the morning, came back in the afternoon for Traditional Marriage, no invitation cards. Used my brother's sound system and my camera. I can tell you we are happily married..

I would advice you create a thread to share this inspiring story because many Nigerians have lost it

Khalidase83:
