Zzor, one thing I like about you is that you will just say what you have to say exactly as most Nigerian women are thinking it.

Zzor:
Setting a wedding budget is one of the most important parts of planning in order to know how much you can afford to pay for your big day. I heard the bride is only solely responsible for payment of the wedding gifts for her bridesmaid, but however you see ladies spending huge amount of money on their wedding these days and I think it's not right. I'm of the opinion that a man should bear all the financial implications in a wedding and sharing the financial responsibility with his wife makes him less of a man, it's somehow untraditional. What do you think?

Some will come here to claim they can/will share in their wedding expenses, but we know for a fact that any unmarried female as at today the 17th of December 2020, will definitely prefer it when her fiancé takes care of EVERY wedding expense from his pocket.

We must not kid ourselves...

As for your question, should a lady share in the financial burden for her own wedding?

Zzor:
Exactly but do you also know it's against African tradition for a lady to share in such fin/res with her husband to be? Ask your elders and you will be shocked

The kind of wedding I want, I pray I can afford it....

Nazgul:
A man is supposed to bear the whole responsibility. That's the African culture.

A man will always have his budget ready before going to see his wife's people.

However, where I'll say the lady can come in is if she's hoping to have a wedding that goes beyond the budget of her husband, then she can support him with whatever she has so as to achieve her aim of an expensive wedding.

Nairaland males suddenly forgot about culture and tradition.

Magnoliaa:
nahhh, feminine women who know their onions don't do that shii. radiating in that glorious elemental energy they naturally possess will have men falling down at their feet, ready to bring home the biggest kill ( - or money, depending on the society sha)...

I totally, completely, vehemently, strongly, wholeheartedly, seriously agree with you.

He who pays the Piper determine the tune.
See,women are items purchased by men at a fee called dowry and bride-price determined during negotiation between the sellers ( bride family ) and buyers(groom)

Since he owns her and can use her however he likes the same way one may decide to use a handkerchief to clean sweat in the morning and blow his nose in the night, He is in the only position to decide how the wedding will be.
Her inputs are unnecessary.

If he decides he doesn't need bridesmaids, she must comply. The handkerchief has no opinion in determining how it will be used.
If he insists she must wear a black gown on her wedding day, she must obey. Whoever pays for the wedding gown determines the type and colour.
He can command you to stay at home and manage the little he brings and you must comply. You are his property



If men had their way, there would be no wedding. Money spent is better invested in many buissness.wedding ceremony is for the glorification of the woman . You want men to spend on your wedding. This kind of women will tell you his money is our money while my money is my money.

They want gender equality when it favors them but not willing to share the responsibility equally.
