Phema: Oh well, rings are of different qualities and weight. You can get just the gold wedding bands (for both bride and groom) for as low as #40k, the engagement ring (which i already have on) made it about 80k. Gold is something one can always resell, so I really do not see it as a waste of money.
The hall was that cheap cos it's church hall. I love good decor so I had to hire a Professional. I even got quotes of 200k and above. And, my dear wedding cakes are not cheap at all oooo.

As for the shoes, let's just say, I won't be buying expensive ones. The bulk of that budget belongs to the Groom as men's shoes are quite pricey.

And for the trad dress, I've still not found a good and affordable tailor. Hoping I get one real soon.

When is yours?

Third quarter next, exact date not fixed.

I see guys whose 'ministry' for now is camry, even golf using some 'bad' cars during their wedding, do there rent them or what?
Does any one have idea of d price of renting a Limo, strickly for this purpose?

Success phema n others.

Phema: Thanks Don1Dee. I haven't concluded with most of my stuff but here is a list of the few I've done:

* Reception Hall = 40,000
* Cake (Four steps and 200 cut pieces) = 45,000
* Hall decor = 80,000
* Photography (and all other stuff involved) = 100,000

Not done, but budgeted:

* Wedding dress, inner lace, under skirt, veil = 55,000
* Groom's suit, shirt, tie and pocket square = 40,000
* 2 shoes for bride, 2 for groom ( for trad and white) = 40,000
* Wedding rings = 80,000
* Food for 250 guests = 250,000
* Traditional marriage and Thanksgiving wears for couple (both buying and making) = 50,000
* Trad wears for parents = 40,000
* Entertainment drinks for White ( 12 crates of Malt and few bottles of wine) = 50,000
* Traditional marriage list = 100,000
* Traditional marriage entertainment drinks ( 5 crates of Malt) = 10,500
* Canopy, chairs and decor for trad = 70,000
* Food for trad = 100,000
* 25 packs of bottled water for white at #500 each = 12,500
* DJ and MC for white = 50,000
* Chin chin, sweets and chewing gum for white = 10,000
* Wedding IVs, wedding Program and souvenirs = 90,000
* Bridal train material and sewing = 25,000
* Registery = 30,000
* Bridal facials = 20,000
* Cooling of drinks = 10,000
* Logistics, unforseen contingencies = 100,000

* I might be missing some things. Will edit as I remember. We are trying to stick to our 1.5M budget for everything and something tells me we might even end up spending less cos we're going for the most affordable but good deals . Will give a better price break down after the wedding.

This is just the estimate, alterations can and will be made as we go on. You can ask questions concerning any of the items above. I will be willing to help.

Thanks, this was more than helpful. Never cake and wedding rings are that expensive, and why is the cost of hall decoration more than the renting?
Am skeptical on your shoe budget. 40k might not be enough for four pairs of shoe.
After d event I'll like to see a picture of the traditional dress, so I can use the maker.

Best wishes and success in all your running around.

hrhobi1: I have been to the UK twice and I came back in less than a month on both trips, I remember my family were against my return and so was my friends but 2 years on now I have built my house and I have a nice ride.

So for me to think of selling my property and car to travel abroad is unthinkable . Whats so special about jand ? I have friends living overseas for years and they can't compare what they have to mine.

Well I believe anywhere is abroad if u make it so.

What do u do for a living & how long have you been doing it, to have built a house and buy a good car in d two years-being a young man, as claimed. This a major determinant!

Please you guys should try to include price as much as possible. It'll help us all. Great job and congrat to u all, esp. d initiator, Phema.

Is this durable? I bought one in Oshodi and it lasted for two days. And that was the end of it!

I've only apply. How and when do I sent in the Business plan. The next process after application please.

theoctopus: Spot on op. I have always known this. The "80% of Nigerian live on $1 a day" story was actually cooked up by an NGO in connection with the world bank. The sole purpose was to raise and embezzle money. The biggest problem of most Africans is that they think anything foreign is truth! If only they know the level of fraud and atrocities going on in the UN, World bank and the western nations

The $1 a day story is not cooked, but reality.

ChinoElectz: Like someone already said Anambra cities of Awka and Onitsha are far more advanced and organized compare to your mud houses and rusted zincs infested yorobarland. The least community in Anambra is far more developed and advanced than the mud houses infested yorobar state capitals of ibadan, ekti, oshogbo. Anambra cities are alot neater, organized than all those ghettos you guys call city town.

This is Onitsha the pride of the East. No Yorobar state comes close.

The real onitsha or your imagine one. Stop lying. Onitsha is a haven for dirtiness.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has postponed its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, which was supposed to hold today, due to the loss of one of the prominent members of the union, Professor Festus Iyayi, who died in an auto crash on Lokoja-Abuja Expressway, on his way to the Kano, yesterday, for the union’s meeting.

The decision to call off or continue the four months old strike embarked upon by the University lecturers was expected to be made at the meeting which would have held today but for Iyayi’s death.

The union called for the meeting after fresh negotiations with the president, where the government was said to have shown commitment to ending the strike by improving on earlier offers.

The meeting will now hold on January 15 2014 members later.
