The average person is using 4m to 8m for wedding. Taking loans and begging for funds. It’s shameful

After all the spending, the marriage ends up looking no better than that of those who spent only cost of marriage registration form, why?

This one don go marry o. Wahala dey.

Don't kill yourself because of high standard of life without high level of cash.

The best thing is that am happy with my wife.
In fact, no food, no even pure water and no cameraman I used my phone.
Na only thank you for coming

At least they should have still dress fine and look good

It's choice. They can easily go and borrow at least 200k for loan apps but they don't want. Just like me I prefer to do what an average black American family does. I'll pay my wife's bride price. Then choose between white and traditional wedding which I know both are the same. No matter the one I chose you will come with an invite. I don't know the gain in wastage!

Black American families collect bride price, for where?

Una go see wisdom in front,come dey shout make e get behind you!

Man just saved one from attending 2022 Shiloh

Adekunle and Simi too.

But this bros is stingy. He should have hired a camera man for good picture quality.

Like he'll eat the pictures afterwards?

Been looking at the ones I spent heavily on, and I am wondering if the camera man will take them back and balance me half of the money

edoman2016:
what about bride price and list of items for traditional marriage. I am sure you spent more than 25k. Court wedding is not enough for marriage in Nigeria

There is a difference between wedding and marriage, chill!

seanwilliam:
God will provide for you . But I can bet it that if you have the money , you go loud am. Na poverty humble you. Even if you no like it louder, why not call for a good camera man or use good phone at least to keep the memory .. omo u stingy lol �.. las las God go provide for all of us

You bet wrong! My own parents did not loud it and poverty had absolutely nothing to do with their choice not to.

Quit lying to yourselves like your parents before you!

Note: court marriage is not an alternative to payment of dowry. In fact dowry payment is the REAL marriage. church wedding is just ceremonial

No one pays dowry in Nigeria. Actually, they don't pay dowry on women, they pay bride price

MYHUBBY:
is good that you don't want to spend but at least wear your traditional attire for future sighting, imagine your kids seeing their friends parent pics and asking for yours and you're showing them you don't want to spend bla bla




my wife dated me for 10years, so it will be unfair to organized wedding as if I'm doing remembrance, I didn't spend above 1m but it worth it even her dress was talk of the town



Op change your mentality

God bless you, honestly i also think it's a matter of planning. My dad for example didn't have much when he married but he had started saving for the wedding 2years before he proposed to my mum and he never entered any debt. Planning is also important.

If payment of dowry is the real marriage as you claim, then church wedding is unnecessary to say the least.

My own parents did not wear traditional attire in their own registry marriage picture and it came out well. So what in the world are you yammering for?

Nigerians, ehn! Una go open mouth yarn anything to justify foolishness, for real!

you're right, if not that I married igbo lady, I wouldn't have spent to that but no money I spent was waste because when I was flat broke this babe stay by even the Yoruba I dated Japa


so imagine me compensating her with that boring marriage. as you said planning within your limit is fine but at least wear good attires, I'm not a party person but for future sake do something that worth it

You would need to deactivated your account completely for that to happen!

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid you are the one who has got it twisted, my friend..

Your traditional marriages and dowry systems are for those who chose to let traditions dictate for them what marriage should be, whereas court or registry is meant or intended for those who would rather not submit to confines of tradition in any way or form where there marriage is concerned.

The problem, however, is that to keep many believing in traditional ways, the lie has been sold them that without paying of bride price, and in some case, doing of traditional marriage ceremony , a marriage agreement cannot be entered into. Sadly, this life has forced many to enter blindly into these unions without clear understanding of the ramifications of submitting to such ideas as they hold.

The truth is just like your church marriages, your traditional are equally ceremonial.

You are 101% wrong

As in en.. I see pikin for the middle too.. HML to them sha.. Its no hisy

your parents didn't wear traditional attires, so what do they wear to registry? Ankara and satin?



I don't expect you to understand, your parents married in the old era but if they're in this social media and modern time they will rather be on traditional attire, English dress and take a picture that will be echoing it in your draining brain that when you want to do something even if is not going to be elaborate, let it worth it



Nairaland have given a lot of you dead brain kids to be typing above your common sense lately
