Wedding ceremonies are not compulsory, especially now that we are in perilous times.

I don’t know how you will write that list with numerous zeros and sleep well at night. The only people that write the price of groundnut oil and tin tomatoes themselves are people working on a very tight budget. Else you will handover the cooking to a caterer and she would multiply a plate by your estimated number of guests (e.g) N750 * 300 guests. How many litres of oil she uses wouldn’t be your business.

If you have to sit like this to bother your head about prices and inflation, scratch it. Have an indoor trad in her father’s sitting room, proceed to a registry if you want.

This is 2021 for God’s sake. The people you want to come for a wedding, some of us do not even have money for transport. If we come, we no fit spray you pass 2k.
Well spoken. That's exactly what I will do. There is marriage after that one day ceremony abeg.

I wrote this wedding estimate four years ago thinking I'll get married but it didn't work out again. tongue

But with the way things are going in my current relationship I think it's going to happen this year grin.

So please if you know the updated price for the items on the list please drop it here so I'll upgrade it. I know say things don expensive cry
Thank for the feedback

Ebubs as you are calculating this things like this, I tire o...Isn't it obvious you are not well balanced for this?

The ceremony is the reggae, after the ceremony comes the real marriage(the blues)...where you are to spend more everyday you breathe.....

From this list one can rough estimate the type of wedding you wanted...In this current Inflation, if you wan go run this yourself, just keep a million plus...chai money weh you go even add small money buy small direct toks car make your wife use am the do school run for your kids..cheesy

Well, everyone has a dream wedding to wet their fantasies..I will advise you involve caterers and multiply number of plates..But know this, no wedding has ever won a medal for most elaborate...or say best...

But couples can celebrate diamond jubilee and multiple awards for being role models to younger couples or intending couples..

Finally, to that your list, begin to tripple prices you have there...cheesy
I see 4bags of rice 32k grin Maybe I was reading daily times of 1990...lmao..

Cow 100k, maybe na cow them demote to goat status..grin

You never add clothing sef, venue rent, dj money, band, transport and accommodations for friends, family and in-laws...lol

E no easy...

I rather do a 50persons getogether stuff and zoom off with my wife to a calm place and enjoy ourself away from daily stress and hustle ...come back and upgrade living standard than impressing people who will eat everything and still talk down on me say the meat no big na maggi cube size them cut amgrin

Omo! Ishi, if my children wan see my wedding picture, make them imagine am for their head. They should get creative abi imaginative, because I ain’t doing nothing!

Nigerian youths should start using their heads. They can organize a photoshoot if they want pictures for memory. After that, go for a honeymoon in a nearby African country. That is a whole lot better than sweating inside one hall while dancing skelewu, watching people drag foofoo, jollof rice and souvenirs, greeting unknown faces, including the ones that don’t mind tying your womb if they could. grin




I have the right to advise them because it is us they would want to sell 3yards asoebi for @ 25k. It is still us they would expect to spray them money that they can use to recoup their wedding expenses. It is us they will want to borrow money from after wedding. It is even worse when you are single because they assume you have no responsiblities. Whether single or married…they don’t spare us of their expectations. So I won’t spare them my advice!

Thank you.

4 bags of rice? Guy, do you want to feed a whole local government area in Lagos state?

My advice: don't waste your money! Nigerian wedding ceremony is one of the most useless things in the world right now.

You are a fool if you think inviting a thousand people or feeding 500 people will impress anybody asides from your photographer, caterer, and event planner. These three are the biggest winners while your yet-to-kick-off family is the loser.

If only this guy knows what lies ahead, he will just run the wedding codedly in his parlour. The life after that few hours is more significant. Dont suffer that lady with hunger o. Kids are too expensive. Quality if life matter alot. Lastly, Cut your coat according to your cloth

@OP
The days of "loud" weddings are over for average people. Starting from the cost of hiring the event centre and decorations, you'll find that the expenses can be outrageous. Food is a different matter. Your old budget has no bearing to today's realities.

It's not worth all the headache anyway. No matter how grand it is, people will still find something to complain about. It's wise to have a low key wedding with family and close friends in attendance.

Save your funds towards a mortgage and childcare needs in the near future.

You will soon be fine and doing exploits. I recovered fully 3 months after my wedding.

I am happy I spent the money. It is a once in a lifetime experience.

My bro, same here in 2019 oh. A distant friend that that just concluded his wedding called me a day after to borrow some money, Omo I didn't borrow him lol. Even though I had the money, why would someone be planning a wedding without a proper budget.

Same thing happened 2 months ago again, another distant friend called me, omo I didn't send any money oh.\

Now none of them talk to me again. Well life goes on, I cannot allow myself to be sent back to the village because of bad debt from distant friends over wedding.

Kai!. Had it been my ex-girlfriend,reason like this way you reason so,we for dey look forward to our wedding day soonest...but she labeled me a poor thinker or someone with negative mindset... I told her it's not about negative mindset of not being buoyant to cater for luxury wedding, but I don't fancy all those one day noise..I prefer giving her (fiancee) the extra money budgeted for large wedding,if we eventually agree to a small wedding.. she said lai!.. lai!.. ooo...that was how we parted ways... Blaming me for being a negative thinker,hence she can't roll with such person not to talk of marrying..

It is the Nigerian dating culture, a lot of women want to hang their beautiful pictures of that day. Some want Bella Naija to post those pictures. Some women fantasize about their wedding day since 12 years old. A lot of pressure of that from the ladies to be fair.

It's best to put all your cards on the table, so she can know how much you can afford from the jump because It seems ladies don't really think of anything apart from the wedding day which is so annoying because there is so much to worry about after the wedding itself.

Somehow some women just expect everything to fall in place magically after the wedding, House, Rent, Car, Relocation, Funds for Children etc. and Extra funds for Wife's siblings lol.
