Let your older siblings, cousins or parents guide you. It's not that hard.

belle things likely lol

My wedding is in 2 weeks time
Base on what I have been experiencing, first thing is to be financially okay, don't depend on anybody , don't try to impress family and friends, stop revealing your plans to people , some people will try to act like they care but will confuse you and lead you to the wrong path, always write down your plans, Budget, don't let your in-laws see you as a weakling , be bold, always set aside some extra money for miscellaneous , get one or two trusted friends, assign task for them, don't stress yourself going up and down, be prayerful

Event Planner will do.

The nicest wedding I have been to (please quoting this long post is a sin!)
So early 2019/late2018 I attended a wedding Mass, the venue of which was my city’s university chapel/church. The couple wore some traditional material (bride had an A line (or fish, I don’t know exactly what it’s called) long, dress and the groom had a caftan and trousers
The choir sang beautifully, and the ceremony was blessedly short
After the Mass, everybody went out into the garden, which had been prepared with a few canopies and decorated plastic chairs and tables (not up to ten). Ribbons too, but remember the garden had plenty grass, shrubs and flowers already. There was a black music box with R and B music and love songs serenading everybody (picture Boys2Men, Shai, Ruff Endz, Dru Hill, Savage Garden, Westlife, Blackstreet boys and Backstreet Boys, Lionel Richie etc music playing one album after another. Not blasting loudly like a madhouse... just blending greatly with the conversations, delivering great notes from about 1pm to 4pm)
As the couple was having picture shots, food, (just jollof rice, moi moi, cole slaw, 1 fat piece of chicken and two small beef pieces per big china plate) was being served. A drum with ice was discreetly placed behind a tree, and from it very cold drinks were served with the food. From taking pictures the couple walked to a table and cut the cake, and then went to sit down in their special place just in front of the group, for their food. By then people were in various states of eating, from just starting, to being done. Not long after, large chunks of cake were served by the couple’s family members, with wine in paper cups (filled).

It was so informal and beautiful, the music and the garden added to the whole serenely beautiful ambience of the event.
Nobody could find it in them to leave the music and the whole venue/scene, and we all stayed listening to music and talking for an extra two hours after everything
The whole works -clothes, cake, wine, rice and “accessories” cost about 150K
It remains by far the most perfect, most tasteful, most meaningful, simplest yet most elegant wedding service and reception I have ever been to, and it was on a week day!
We learnt that the priest used the couple and their wedding in his homily the next Sunday and many times after that
No train, just two toddlers (boy and girl) dressed up in their own clothes
It was not crowded (50 guests? )
No dancing and spraying of money
No ashebi (the blessedness of this)
No prayers (we had just been to Mass for Lawdsake)
No presentation of presents, the few people who had presents or money just keep whatever they brought on the grass, by the couple
Nothing, just taste and beauty intertwined
Blissful wedding
I haaate weddings, but that one was simply, absolutely beautiful and fuss-free(in a warm glow and honey whiskey way)
Appraising more critically, the only downside had to be the cake. It was not as fluffy and soft and creamy as I like. It was fondant where cream/butter cake would have been ideal. (The couple shared everything there and then) They sentimentally had given the cake job to a relative to bake. I guess she did her best . But that’s the only thing that was 6 or 7 out of a possible 10 for me. Every other thing was top notch. In total, that small wedding was a 9 and a half over 10

Dear poster, can you do something crazy (crazily beautiful, different AND memorable) like the above? No way ba?
Do you shaa, and a happy married life!

My point with that looong mad post?
I can help you plan that type of wedding, for free!
And it would be the talk of your town and live in peoples’ hearts for a long long time
But, extroverts, show offs, many people in fact would balk at this!

Then you are starting off wrongly
My advice would cause trouble so let me keep quiet
If there is love, two will agree
Infact, I go- stick to your desire. If this person doesn’t see herself in this picture, someone else will, and it will be right and beautiful.
But you can convince her
Imagine having 750K for a wedding. Using 120- 200k for the above posted kind of wedding

With the change you guys can go on a nice one or two week trip to any Obudu, Inagbe, Ghana, Togo (amazing beaches) etc
Or you can buy a crazy TV and music set
Or you can save a tiny amount and add to it and buy a car
Or you can ...do so many things that don’t involve the drag of a regular wedding
Good luck
Be firm, don’t insult your father in-law, just blank them. If she is meant to be with you, they would come around
Or you can show her love and have a big wedding ( I am against this but aiming to be fair, although it is insincere, my fairness)
Good luck

Not she but father in-law. He has finally succumbed to our idea

That’s great!
I am happy for you

I think that it's possible to make a cool wedding and you just need to decide about everything. I was using https://www.msbliss.ca/ which is a perfect way to get more information about wedding dresses, different options. They are helping to know more about different wedding dresses styles, interesting designs and other things.

this is golden. I always desired to help people plan unique weddings at little cost. I hate to see when events swallow money and there is just nothing outstanding. For me, I have always pictured a set up in an open field/garden just as you described above.
