Weddings are so expensive nowadays. To young people that want to start their lives, go to court and have a small dinner with your close friends and family. You can do the party if you’d like years later.

Thanks!

I also prefer a small marriage blessing or court wedding, cos after all the huge spending in doing one Big white wedding nobody will look you and your wife's face.
The last wedding I attended, I saw very few gifts that was presented to the couples and it was not encouraging at all.
People will come, eat and drink well, then go back to thier respective homes.

have you seen the bride price list of some places in Nigeria You have to settle people in the villages many items. Court is the way to go. But there are alot of women who want the paparazzi wedding of which they will contribute nothing financially.

It doesn't matter how I feel or think about it because they're not part of my culture and we need to learn to respect other people's cultures as long as they don't interfere with ours.

And besides, traditional wedding is a celebration which involves uniting two people who are in love.

Some young couples have the money to do big expensive wedding, so rest, at the end of the day couples would do whatever they like.

Well, since it's for people who want to "start their lives now," no problem.

Not for me by a long stretch.

And why is a marriage referred to as 'starting one's life?' All the years wey you don dey live, nko?

Unfortunately, as a people, irrespective of age bracket, we love to seek validation even from people who don't matter; thus, many wouldn't yield to such noble advice.

White wedding is a western culture that the church made it look like that's what God wants.
Even in the west, it's not as expensive as they make it look in Nigeria.
Weddings and Burials are expensive events in Nigeria which is uncalled for.

Parental consent is the marriage then notify the government about it at registry and proceed to God's presence for blessings. That's all......Reception will drain your resources. Use that money to start your home !
