How I Saved My Brother From Marrying Into An Entitled Family by Nobody: 3:31pm On Feb 25, 2021
My senior bro wedding was schedule for the 30th day of October 2021, his wife and her fams were on his heads, telling him to make sure the wedding is the talk of the town, that, he should rent a big hall and make sure food; drinks; meats; kola etc. are available.

So last night he told me, I asked if his wife contributed anything, he said "Monetary" No....that she said she'll bring ppl to cook food and handle things women are meant to handle.

I told my him: Snr bro, make marriage simple. Don't take loans for wedding, don't use all your savings on wedding just to please people. People come to eat, drink and leave you in povery. Manage what you have. If your wife can't help you to think straight, then she ain't wife worthy.
This afternoon, in my presence he called his in-laws and called off the wedding....thank God he has not complete the dowry.

Hope I was right?

Thats a very Bold move from your Brother !
You did a Great Job by Pouring out the raw bitter truth to him. That was a Good one.

Your GOD Designed Partner will not be a burden to you
Your GOD Designed Partner will not run you into Debts for an event of Few hrs, when you have Forever ahead.

A Virtous Woman Knows that a Wedding is Just a day thing and would not throw her husband into unnecessary debts in the Name of impressing People.

Calling off the wedding shouldn't have been the first thing to do he could have met with his prospective in-laws and tell them what he can afford to spend for the wedding and hear what they have to say

You did the right thing bro.. Anyone expecting a plate of rice on my wedding day will wait till eternity because I ain't doing that shit.

If you want to celebrate with me, wait until after I've fought and conquered the stress, phases and struggles of my marriage with my husband by my side, then I will throw a big party for y'all( just come, eat and celebrate with us) I don't need anything from you undecided

Celebrate your post marriage and not your pre-wedding!!

If he ends up using his life savings to please the wife and her family, what will he use to feed her after the wedding? No be only talk of the town, na talk of the nation e go be undecided

Some people with unrealistic expectations sef yet they won't add a dime to make that dream a reality.. Mtcheew!

Who does elaborate wedding these days? Oh I remember, instagram people do. If everything you typed up there is true then the woman in question isn't ready and shouldnt be seeking for a husband.

I don’t believe your story is a real one, but I agree with you that no normal human should take loans or exhaust their savings to have a wedding. No sensible woman should endorse such expenditure either. Having that in mind, I support you.

Your brother has probably been reasoning the matter before you spoke. You just echoed what he knew. Obviously, there are some other signs he has seen.

Another woman bashing thread.

How much are you people paid to create these stories? Do you really think women don't have terrible stories to tell about men on a daily basis? The technique is old.
