The fact that your mother in law has said she wants a low key wedding has taken a lot of costs of you,since it's basically the brides family that 'owns' the wedding and preparations in Yoruba land. Even if your wife wants too much paparazzi, her mum will be calming her down. Some of our Yoruba mothers like forifori, just be grateful she's not one of them, the most annoying part is that some will tell you don't worry we have the money we will spend it You just cool temper 500kwill be enough |

DJ: 15,000 TOTAL: 15,000 GRAND TOTAL: 498,830 Note: Budget can still be reviewed downwards, and a lot can still be achieved. Takeaway: 1. You can't and must not try to totally please everyone, they'll still talk regardless. 2. Economy is hard, you must shine your eyes and forget the so-called 'packaged services'. Many are overhyped. Look for a decent, inexpensive/upcoming: baker, photographers, makeup artist, decorators, MC etc. If you have friends that could do it, eschew getting one and use your friends/siblings (Compensate them in some ways and help their hustles too, or it could be their own contribution to your wedding, hopefully). 3. Your priority is your wife and family in that order. It'll be foolish to escape the 'celebrity service provider' and allow village people to scam you. Resist their outrageous list and stand your ground. None of them will be there to offer you a kobo if you go broke. 4. You can patronize some Nairalanders offering such services at a decent fee. Help their hustles. 5 The main objective is to successfully get married! 6. For peeps whom are still young and looking to get married. Plan with what you have and you'll be amazed at what you'll achieve with your soon-to-be spouse. Just ensure to leave the celebrity bakers, makeup artist, photographers, MC, DJ, etc. for the deep-pockets and the 'borrow posers' by the time the latter finish paying their wedding debts, you might have probably been a landlord or achieved significant strides.

In things like this, you must man up and owe no one apology for not satisfying their dirty excesses. It's good you have a budget, please don't exceed that. Anyone that doesn't like what you bring to the table can as well support with their own resources. Look at your guests and show them you are ready. 3 Likes |

...just like what your would-be mother-in-law said, she needs a "low key" wedding. Bro, #500k will be enough ok. Kindly work within budget, remember there's life after wedding. You will have to face reality of life after the wedding. Wishing you the very best in your marriage. God will bless you. 1 Like |

Godson213:If you spend 500k for ordinary wedding that's a show off rather cut your coat according to your cloth, extravagant wedding doesn't guarantee long lasting marriage, be wise plan for your marriage is a life time, wedding is just one day. 1 Like |
