yea...doing trad morning of the wedding saves a lot of money n since u hv free deco chairs n venue...600k shud do but u still hv to find out the amount of guest for d white since it will be on d same day.....i also hv very good budget verdors for cakes n small chops "if "she dosnt mind...pls find out the no of guest...it determines alot

ok. Will ask
Are you a wedding planning, if yes can u plan a wedding on a budget of 600k, also what aspects will you cover and how much fee do u charge

Mariecakes:
hi dear..does small n private mean..u hv a free venue n u need little or no rentals n how many guest are u expecting for both traditional n white wedding...

there is a free venue with free chairs, decor too is free, I dunno know about guests tho. Its my besties wedding not mine just planning with her since I'm chief brides maid. But she says traditional is just for few family.

I was suggesting she does the trado on the morning of her church wedding to further cut costs but she says its going to be too stressful

Please where can I download The stepford wives(2004) and tomb raider for my phone? Thanks.

Thanks guys, I found the suggestions very helpful. I'd also like to know if 600k will cover both white n trad wedding especially if d trad will be a very small and private stuff

@ Op please do yourself a favor and don't get married, I can assure you that if you keep looking for a woman with all those qualities u'll end up being forever single, lonely and bitter. Save yourself the stress and make do( be contented) with what you have.

I am sure you don't even follow the 10 commandments your creator, God gave you yet you give your fellow mortal a thousand and one rules just to keep you a mere dust? Will all those rules keep you from dying too when your time comes?

Life is too short to live by a fellow mortals rules. Life is already too complicated, I don't need anyone to complicate it further for me.

If Mr A. No follow, mr B. Must follow. Any which way na way!

By the way your signature says; "If you’re content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty" is it not therefore hypocritical for you to want to be yourself so that your life will count for plenty yet you don't want the african woman to be herself so that she will die an unfulfilled self-hating human?

okk...well ll to me, I prefer, royal blue n peach, wine/red n peach, mint green n peach to leaf green n peach..If you really want to go with green, then I think dark green is better to leaf green...

wow! Thanks. I absolutely love d royal blue n peach but she already chose royal blue and gold for her traditional. Please I need more pictures of either dark green and peach or leaf green and peach. Thanks

That apple green is fine too

AmazimgEvents:
@ blueberryp how bout mint green n peach...its a lovely combo

yea I tot of that too but she thinks both colors are kind of too cool and everything will look washed out n dull. At least leaf green like these nairaland smileys or deep green will give the peach a pop

[quote author=vickilafab post=27691603][/quote]thanks dear. I actually need leaf green or deep green like d second photo. I think d first one is mint green. Something like this

Hello guys, my friend is getting married january so she asked me to help her pick colours for her white wedding, I tought of deep green or leaf green and peach combination. But I can't find pictures of these 2 combinations on the net so I don't really know how it will look like and whether the colours go together. Please can anyone help me out with pictures?

Expect to see Medical students and Doctors using your body and ailments as subject of study. They even ask you questions like they'll provide immediate solution.

this is the one I hate d most. At least they should ask for ur permission first and respect ur privacy if u say no.

Stillfire:
Lol, I got goosebumps reading that.

why are you scared or are u getting down with a person of questionable character in the hopes that you'll change him/her?

awww... Thank you

But ermmmm.......hope it will be free too

deltateam:
Most men won't cheeat if its 7x a week. Just be available to him.

thk God u said at 7x a week MOST nt ALL won't cheat. But there will always be that some who will cheat even at 10x a week. Believe me

5minsmadness:
Not all men cheat.
Men tend to be more promiscuous in marriage than women, probably because of their huge sexuaI appetites when compared to their female counterparts. And since the institute of marriage is becoming less and less sacrosanct, more and more single ladies don't mind giving themselves out to married men who most times are already sex-starved and will need the grace of God not to fall to temptation.


Ladies, if you don't want your man to cheat, make love to him at least three times a week. Its that simple.

3 times a week is fair enough but even with 7times a week some men would still cheat.
@Op not all men cheat, its just that the majority cheats.

Yea, if u want a good marriage it usually starts as a single person like Reverend Munroe's omelette principle;
You take a good egg and a bad deffective egg and crack it together, no matter how good the other egg is, the bad one will always win thereby making the omelette useless.
His advice to singles;

WATCH THE KIND OF PERSON YOU GET DOWN WITH BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE, IF YOU MARRY SOMEONE WITH CRACKS IN CHARACTER(JUST LIKE THE BAD EGG) YOU WILL BE MISERABLE

aisha2:
I was reading through a great post here where great marriages and spouses were being celebrated and a guy stated how much he loved his family so much that he would proceed to his wife's shop after work and help her out, hang out and play with his son instead of hanging out at bars and joints.

He was attacked called weak, called even irresponsible.

I also read one who said the men she knows do not cheat and was savagely attacked. They raised questions on people's intergrity they never met all because someone said they dont cheat.

Its pathetic how low we have sunk judging others by their own low standards. Marriage is a beautiful thing, do it right

I know a few men who do not cheat and are enjoying their marriages to the fullest but when I mention it in public people disbelieve me and say there is no such thing, it surprises me really

This is one of the best threads I have read on nairaland in a while. #Following...

TV am waiting for the thread on how to spot the right one

tatiana009:
Tell her your fears, you owe her that as a friend. After that your conscience will be clear and then it's up to her. She may not appreciate you telling her the truth now but no matter what happened in future she'll know she had warning. God may be using you to warn her so please do your part and tell her .

yea, am thinking of telling her parents about it

[quote author=Sparkle777 post=27331684][/quote]mehn, reading that link in d above is scary, I don't think counselling will change him.

ojokojonwanyi:
Been there. It hurts.
It doesn't make sense for her to stay put in such a relationship.
You should really sit her down and talk to her if she refuses to listen to you or any other person, well, she can enjoy the panel beating while it lasts.

ok. Thanks

bellong:
Tell to digest this thread before her final decision. If she doesn't take your advice, there's little you can do.

If you are sure of the guy's violent behavior, inform the girl's parents.

this is really helpful.I didn't know of the existence of the thread, I shouldn't have opened this one

Sparkle777:
Tell ur friend to run. Hope u re not the one? . Run bfor u re dead.

no am not the one. Apart from my telling her to run, she has told herself to run but she can't move her feet.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has ever being in an abusive relationship, how were you able to get out of it, please share your opinions, advise and experience. Thank you

Dlionsheart:
Let your friend follow her heart.

After all, its her life, she's the one to leave with the man and not nairalanders or yourself. Who knows, while you're here drinking Panadol for her headache, she may be enjoying it. Mind you, some ladies like beating, others beg for it and some even said that any man who did not beat them when they erred didn't love them.

Secondly, the best advice in the world is the advice one give him or herself.

no, she doesn't enjoy it that's is why she always says she will neva go back to him but in the end the guy will sweet talk her back. I also think because its her first relationship that's why its difficult for her to pull out. We have been friends since childhood so its not very easy for me to look away cos anything happens to her I will feel guilty

Hello nairalanders, my bestie called me last night to tell me that her boyfriend of 1yr and some months proposed and she said yes, I should be happy but am not.
The reason is, the guy has been abusive since I can remember. He is a very nice guy tho but he beats her up at the slightest provocation and each time my friend would swear that its over between them but she'll go back to him the very next day once he comes begging and then the cycle would continue again.
I am really worried for her since this is her first relationship and after she told me last night I had a horrible nightmare that her mum called and told me she is dead. My mind has not been at peace since then. What should I do?

Edusouls:
Shut up all you, u think life is easy, do you know the hell the man is going through where ever he is now, do you think he is happy with what is happening, do u know what hell he had gone through in the hands of her vry baad wife, he even saved the childrens life by not abandoning them on to their fate, he at least made a very good move to put them in a school where he knows people will be on them, where is their irresponsible and vry heartless woman that abandoned both father and children and dissapeared for good, see some women re doom when they enter ur life you regret been even born into this life, she will unleash hell to everything close to you, and you re just few years aways from early grave. May God help that man, i know he loves his children but has nothing to care for the kids, but he made a very clever move, now he has saved this kids from long torment of life they would have gone through if he had abandoned them just like her doom wife, and God will also bless the school for their devoution and patience for 8years, it is not easy, most schools wont tolerate that..and finaly i pray that their father is still well and alive, after regaining his stand he should come and reunite with his kids.

did you not see the part where his sister abroad said she has been sending him money for the childrens fees? He is probably spending d money on beer and women
