I would love a low key wedding with at most 100 people but my family members from my father's side alone already make a big wedding.

I attended a friend's wedding this year -very low key with about fifty people(including children that accompanied their parents). She told me about it 4 days to the wedding and also asked if i would be coming or not so that proper arrangements can be made.

I enjoyed the short wedding ceremony and the reception too.It was all about the couple and no unnnecessary attention on other 'important people'.

100 peeps is no longer low key o!

My take on low key weddings is this?
Can two walk together except they agree?
NOTE: Low key wedding is not the same as a budget wedding.

People assume it is a money issue

yes na

No

The smaller the better!!!!

brother follo ur heart jare, i call it a ''table size'' wedding, there s no point blowing it up, just concentrate o havin a good marriage not wedding. where is all this comin from sef? who invented it any way? the oyibo them ma dont do it like we in nigeria do,

it's ok by me but it's not the way i'm planning; if i were a lady and my guy had good reasons for it, i certainly wouldn't hesitate to accept with him

A marriage ceremony is meant to be a day of joy on all fronts !!!
But it is key not to spend money, one does not have.
If cost constrains are a factor or not, let your pocket decide.
Afterall, it is best to have a low - key ceremony and live peacefully with each other ever after, than have a grand ceremony, that leads to the divorce courts a couple of minutes, days, weeks, months or years after !!!

This sounds like a very good idea!

Its whatever makes your wife happy if she and you both want a low-key wedding then thats what you should do! I dont want a low-key wedding i want a big fancy wedding because even though we all love each other in my family sadly we dont see each other much unless its a wedding or funeral and we will all rather it be a wedding! But ;owkey weedings is good to save more money for the honeymoon

do the thin as your power reach, dont push drug like babasuwe just because you wan show up or satisfy people. mind you are can never satisfy people.

For me this is the perfect scenario jare!

The way to go.
I plan this for myself as well but you know naija mentality, they will say
I wan' carry their daughter on a shoestring budget.

The problem now is to find a nice level-headed girl (and her family) who
aint worried about ceremonies and just cares about how much I love her to want
to marry her.

What's an elaborate ceremony got to do with?

Carry on my guy. Nothing do you.

People often confuse "low key" with "budget". As CoderXO there's a mentality out there that "I wan' carry their daughter on a shoestring budget". If no one finances your lifestyle or calls the shots and you don't have a hundred opinions in your business, you can have the ceremony you want.

As much as I love my family, thankfully I didn't have to deal with that annoying scenario where you are told you HAVE to invite Aunty CeCe cos she is your mother's neighbour's uncle's friend. Been to a wedding where the groom's mother behaved badly because her invited friend wanted to bring 6 of her relatives (who was this lady again? No one could say).

The less stress, the better.

i think the highbrow weddings are mostly about status and showing off.but its d marriage that tells and not the wedding.

if the marriage packs up after spending so much money, people go laugh eh.

me am a babe o but i dnt like unnecessary paparazzi.my trad wedding shld be in my compound at home here in lag,if not in the parlour sef

for d white, i prefer to pick a colour of clothes dt my friends to wear, rather than asoebi.simple cake, keep everything simple.

i like simple but distinct. d excessive decor doesnt appeal to me.its not like i'l carry it home naa.

when u do things simple, pple admire it.

whichever way, all i want is pure and true happiness ever after

I would love 2 have my traditional marriage in my dad's parlour(my dad will disagree cos he will like 2 invite all d eze's,chief,P.A to d gov,special advisers nd so on).4 my white wedding,i would love a smally ceremony wt min of 20 pple nd max of 50 pple max,very simple and classy( bt my mum would want 2 invite all her meeting pple,friends,clients nd everyone else),crazy,rite

would actually prefer something low key. not because of costs, but i would like to enjoy my day with the few that matter.

Frankly, I don't do weddings. I've been to maybe 3 weddings in the past 10 years.

If I had it my way, I'd have 20 people tops at my wedding.
I might be dreaming though, I never see the girl wey go 'gree that kind.

Sorry to say, but the whole big wedding thing is usually bride's mother's doing.

#justsaying

The best wedding i have attended was a low key wedding , it was co cozy. i wish to have a low key wedding too but i think i may have a problem with my partner- he seems to have so many friends, I do too but I my wedding Cozy, private, elegant and low key.

If i had my way sef i 4 prefer WA JOKO!

iice: That's what we do in my family. Low key. Next thing people will see na wedding ring for hand without idea how or when it happened

done urs?

My perception abt u just failed me!

I also prefer low key wedding, then go on a hot honeymoon!
But my parents and relatives wldnt allow.
''if money is the problem, then dont worry. We will handle everything to the best'' and I so much trust them...they fit bring Whitney houston from the grave to come grace the event.LOL!
Believe me, my parents have sponsored many great weddings....u can imagine, and being their first born.
They will have to bow for my stand though, but what will be my reason!
In some families, noise is not allowed and some are warned to keep it low......well, mine can only be on a low-key with the latter!

nakedall: do the thin as your power reach, dont push drug like babasuwe just because you wan show up or satisfy people. mind you are can never satisfy people.

Na wa o!
Why Baba Suwe in dis matter?

duality: lots of people will keep saying; i want a low key wedding but look at the streets, halls, hotels and churches every Saturday, what do you see? your guess is as good as mine.
lots of ladies are hypocritical about this issue.

I totally agree with you."I pass my neighbor" mentality won't let them be themselves.

It will be nice to see a naija lady that will first propose this idea.Whether i am rich or not,i will go for a low key wedding.

My wedding, my rules. I don't understand it when people say my parents won't let me have a small wedding, if they want a party so bad, they are free to put me and my husband's pictures on seats and call it wedding in absentia.

My wedding is gonna have 30 people in it TOPS. Classy, intimate and elegant is what I'm shooting for.

ogugua88: Why do you have to apologise for doing what you wished? You married your wife in a style you both wanted. If they can't appreciate your choice, let them eat ice cream and wallow. I plan on having a small wedding myself. I don't think my parents will even be invited. Just three guests. Myself, fiance, and the person performing the wedding lol. I don't like noise and all that stress that comes with living up to people's expectations. It's not their marriage. I'm glad you did it how you wanted.

Yet to wed.
