Look, reading through your submissions about what ensued at the event, as an adult which I seem you are one. Learn to accept disappointment as in get used to it, there is nothing you can do about pple taking decision.

There decision and choice of life is left to them and if you seem not happy with there decision or choice then you have your own decisions to take, either to leave the event or you stayed since you feel pained by their actions.

Take it or leave it everyone can't think act like you have want, you don't have to be paranoid or pain regarding their decision and you can't change a thing about it even nairaland won't save your ass. Jus let it slide and chin up.

Selah...
what exactly is he really pained for because there's nothing worth being pained about.if you offer someone money and the person says no, why should that become something to be offended by? Anyway I know what is wrong with op.hes egoistical.his ego is bruised possibly the others spraying money reminds him of his financial state.

Op the Bible says the Lord resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.you cannot be broke and still be proud.na double jeopardy be that.if you want grace from God to be financially comfortable and happy in your marriage,be humble and be happy for others.they have a right to their choice and they have the right to want what they want

I Just attended a wedding ceremony where the celebrants told the mc to announce to the public that people shouldn't bother spraying them. the mcee said it loud and clear, that we should eat and drink and keep our change to ourselves or we should come spray him the mcee or DJ. As a normal nigeria at first we were happy, atleast money is saved, but as time went on we realised they were certain people that were allowed and expected to sprayed while they were dancing, the celebrant peers and all, Rain of cash everywhere... meaning we that they saw we were likely coming to spray with 500# or 1k were rebuked, probably they don't need our 50naira, change.

I felt embarrassed and angry at the same time, that's ill-mannered from them, I hate it when people look down on me, because they are financially bouyant they think they can look down on people anyhow. Well I look to see them in few years time where they will be. I wished them a normal married Life and withold the happiness from it because I don't think they need it.

It is simply because you have prioritized money ahead of everything what did you lose by not spraying absolutely nothing.... use your money for something meaningful bro

This your last statement
(... and withold the happiness from it because I don't think they need it.) was part of the reason they asked u not to spray money.

I attended a wedding of my former neighbour. The band was singing and hailing people until the groom's elder brother started spraying 1,000 notes. This guy sprayed for more than 1 hour and all through the time he was spraying, the band stopped singing for the couple and were singing for him. At a point, he went to drink water and came back to continue spraying.
Nothing really bad in what you just narrated, it's a norm anywhere, and for the MC, IT'S his job to rake in more money for the celebrants.

I'm not poor, I'm rich in mind, body and soul and I treat people how they treat me.
Yes I withold my best wishes for the next man who "needs" it.


Bro ... times are hard... money to get by is precious and scarce to a growing number of people... many of them at the wedding. The groom knows that ... he is well off and doesn't need money to offset the wedding nor to help him in marriage. In his mind... unlike soooo many MoG... it is likely that he is not comfortable receiving money from people who he knows really need it. But at the same time ... he knows that these same people came with the intention of spraying so he gives an option to spray to the MC or DJ. If you didn't like the option then you simply keep your money or spray it on another occasion. Spraying is part of the celebration.... but the people who were allowed to spray were those who were swimming in money... can spray big bills for an hour and their bank account would remain almost the same. He is comfortable with that. Maybe he gathered all that money and dumped it at an orphanage.
You can be rich in mind and body and soul... but this was about money. He treated you and everyone with respect by announcing that you should not spray....that's not disrespectful. If you began to spray your small money and he tells you stop.... that's disrespectful and embarrassing. Seems like you are embarrassed because you believe you are rich and didn't get the opportunity to display yourself! Humble yourself.

You weren't supposed to feel embarrassed at all.


I did almost the same thing during my wedding.


The only difference is that I wrote mine on the invitation card and it was also stated that its strictly by invite, and nobody is expected to spray money or give gift to the couple. There was no arrangement for couple to dance, only country music were played, and no room for high table or whatever they call it. Phones were not also allowed inside the reception hall, just come in and sit, eat and drink to your fill.



When it was time to take pictures, buses were stationed to convey people interested in
taking pictures to venue for snapping and back to the reception hotel where they boarded their private cars back to their various homes and destinations.



So these things depends on peoples choices, some people love private life, some want extra security, some don't want to burden their guests with worrying about money to spray them or what to gift them.

What's oversabi there?


I didn't want to burden anybody, plus I never liked the idea of couple dance and all those various wedding brouhaha they do. I wanted a simplified yet classy wedding devoid of stress. I didn't want to stress myself on my wedding day in the name of wedding ceremony. And I also didn't want to burden some of my guest who came from remote villages to go bothering about money to spray or gift to gift us, so I completely canceled money spraying and gifting completely.



Many people cherished it and I learnt many said they would adopt that style.



All I needed was for few people to come and witness that I am officially married, not to use my wedding as a fundraising campaign or to disturb the whole town, that's never my kind of person from childhood
