We did agree that we were going to have a small wedding, and the day of the introduction came, and I traveled with my family, spent a lot of money on hotel bills, etc. It did go well, and that was when it started.

She reneged on our agreement on the size of the wedding. She told me that she wanted to have her dream wedding although she had no money. I could not bring myself to spend so much on a wedding only to end up eating hand to mouth in my marriage. It became a back and forth argument. Her dad wanted it small, but her siblings wanted it big. My mum did try to advise her, but she felt my mum shouldn't have a say in her wedding being a supposed generation Z.




I did have to look for ways she would be happy without spending too much. Then the counseling issue came, and I was informed to come back to Abuja by her pastor. It was inconvenient, so I told her to recommend virtual counseling because I'm not ready to go and spend a lot staying there. She was mad at my response, saying that it was disrespectful, suggesting such to a supposed man of God, making it disrespectful to God[/b]



You ignored all the red flags!!!!! You both are incompatible like seriously. Just let her go if she can't abide with you as you are now sad she will find someone to spend lavishly with, you will find a better person, just be calm. Just go to church for thanksgiving, dance like grin grin and pray for better half of your choice cheesy cheesy A broken relationship is far better than broken marriage....

Don't start what you can't continue please
DON'T WIFE A HOE LADEN WITH MISPLACED PRIORITIES .

Majority of Nigerian ladies marry not because they love or fancy living with the man, but they rather marry to showoff to their friends and foes that they had the biggest wedding ceremony.



Nigerian ladies are too wise, wiser than Nigerian men.


Most Nigerian ladies marry for security, I mean financial security while the men marry mostly out of sexual satisfaction and child bearing which they can achieve without marriage.




As a guy before you go dancing on your wedding day, have it in mind that your wife to be screened out a lot of other guys asking her out and chose you not because you are handsome or intelligent or jovial or humorous or anything of that nature, she chose you simply because you were the most financially rewarding, the most financially secured, and the most qualified in terms of guaranteeing her a better future, that was why she chose you nothing else.


But most of you guys choose your wife based on superficial things like sexy shape, height, big buttocks, big breast, flat tummy, tight pussy and all those yeye qualities that can never stand the test of time.



Honestly women get too much sense shocked


Op she didn't back out of the wedding because of big or small wedding, she only used that wedding size to size your pocket and discovered that you are not buoyant enough the way she dream her husband to be. She was scared spending her life with you which she believed will be filled with financial uncertainties and management cry

There's such a thing called redundancy, when you repeat a word or phrase a lot of times, it becomes redundant. There are lots of ways to show past tense in a write-up without slamming 'did' in every sentence

You're being unnecessarily pedantic and if you must know, using same words many times is not redundancy in grammar. Redundancy is when you use a word, however few, that will not improve on or detract from the idea being communicated in a sentence if removed.

But nonetheless, as far as communication is made, who cares if 90% of the words are repetitive? angry Stop complicating issues for yourself!

@Op, If everthing you narrated is true, then I think you are better off without her.

The only thing that caught my attention here is this

She told me that she wanted to have her dream wedding although she had no money. I could not bring myself to spend so much on a wedding only to end up eating hand to mouth in my marriage.

My opinion thou... She done already decide to end the wedding due to the lack of having her dream wedding...and not the pastor issue.... Once you marry her and you go broke.. This will also eventually happen.. Cos she won't understand... Op.. Move on..

Some months ago, I was supposed to get married to a lovely lady (Alias-Celia) whom I thought the universe made just for me. I find it unfortunate that this beautiful story was just never meant to be. This write-up is my story.
______________________________________________
Five years ago, while we both stared at the moon sitting in my compound and telling tales of our childhood, I studied her profile. She had a perfect-shaped jaw with rounded edges, full lips, and her ability to smile with so much ease. Her skin glowed against the moonlight, and her aura filled with so much innocence. It was no surprise when I finally popped the question asking her to be my girlfriend.

Four days later, I got a yes as her reply, and it became a beautiful relationship. Our companionship was a show of true love, or so I thought. She taught me to be a better kisser, and I made her be a better lover. We did almost everything together, and when challenges came, we solved them even though she was stubborn; A bit more than me.

Many moons down the line of love and sometimes distrust, she was to relocate to the FCT, the state where her family resides. I knew I was going to miss her, and it wasn't easy letting her go.

We did part ways at the airport, and ever since then, we were always on calls. I did notice later that I did most of the calling, and as time went on as it must, the regular calls became once in a while, and soon, it became longer.

I did play a little with other girls and tried getting into a relationship with others, but it just didn't work out. Perhaps, I wanted the kind of love that they could not give in return. It was no surprise when years later, my calls with Celia became regular and, I didn't mind doing most of the calling.

Soon, I traveled to Abuja, and she didn't seem enthusiastic about seeing me, even though my love clawed at my heart with a renewed burst of energy. This time, I decided that I wouldn't let go. I stayed in FCT for a while, I met her family, and I guess her feelings returned.

I returned to Lagos to continue working, and some months down the line, I was in Abuja again to see the one that I loved. We agreed that she would have to come to Lagos, and some months after I left Abuja, she arrived in the rowdy Lagos.

She met my family, and I popped the question, "will you marry me?" in a romantic atmosphere, and she was so happy that she was going to spend the rest of her life with me.

We made plans until the event of Corona took place, and it greatly affected my business. I became broke, but that didn't stop me from traveling to 3 different states to meet her family members and her pastor in FCT.

We did agree that we were going to have a small wedding, and the day of the introduction came, and I traveled with my family, spent a lot of money on hotel bills, etc. It did go well, and that was when it started.

I did try to let her know that we could use the money to do something else, but she was adamant. After some time, I did succumb to her demand, but she felt that it should not have led to an argument in the first place and decided to call the wedding off. I tried calming her down and even suggested that we postpone it, but she wouldn't budge with a reason so petty. It hurt at first. It made me lose focus for a while, but I guess I've pretty patched up now hence my decision to share with you all.

God bless us all.
I think you were more focused on physical attributes other than innate attibutes and societal values.
Thank your maker that it went that way. Thank God your business went down just to show who she is because if it were to be in the marriage, you would have been living in hell on earth. Never be lustful again but be attracted to innate and positive values.

It is the Lords doing. Go and do Thanksgiving.

God is still with you, when God comes, everything will become new..
Forget her and move on in life. Why? Because you've got a whole lot more to achieve in life than for one daughter of Jezebel to draw you back.

Some months ago, I was supposed to get married to a lovely lady (Alias-Celia) whom I thought the universe made just for me. I find it unfortunate that this beautiful story was just never meant to be. This write-up is my story.
______________________________________________
Five years ago, while we both stared at the moon sitting in my compound and telling tales of our childhood, I studied her profile. She had a perfect-shaped jaw with rounded edges, full lips, and her ability to smile with so much ease. Her skin glowed against the moonlight, and her aura filled with so much innocence. It was no surprise when I finally popped the question asking her to be my girlfriend.

Four days later, I got a yes as her reply, and it became a beautiful relationship. Our companionship was a show of true love, or so I thought. She taught me to be a better kisser, and I made her be a better lover. We did almost everything together, and when challenges came, we solved them even though she was stubborn; A bit more than me.

Many moons down the line of love and sometimes distrust, she was to relocate to the FCT, the state where her family resides. I knew I was going to miss her, and it wasn't easy letting her go.

We did part ways at the airport, and ever since then, we were always on calls. I did notice later that I did most of the calling, and as time went on as it must, the regular calls became once in a while, and soon, it became longer.

I did play a little with other girls and tried getting into a relationship with others, but it just didn't work out. Perhaps, I wanted the kind of love that they could not give in return. It was no surprise when years later, my calls with Celia became regular and, I didn't mind doing most of the calling.

Soon, I traveled to Abuja, and she didn't seem enthusiastic about seeing me, even though my love clawed at my heart with a renewed burst of energy. This time, I decided that I wouldn't let go. I stayed in FCT for a while, I met her family, and I guess her feelings returned.

I returned to Lagos to continue working, and some months down the line, I was in Abuja again to see the one that I loved. We agreed that she would have to come to Lagos, and some months after I left Abuja, she arrived in the rowdy Lagos.

She met my family, and I popped the question, "will you marry me?" in a romantic atmosphere, and she was so happy that she was going to spend the rest of her life with me.

We made plans until the event of Corona took place, and it greatly affected my business. I became broke, but that didn't stop me from traveling to 3 different states to meet her family members and her pastor in FCT.

We did agree that we were going to have a small wedding, and the day of the introduction came, and I traveled with my family, spent a lot of money on hotel bills, etc. It did go well, and that was when it started.

She reneged on our agreement on the size of the wedding. She told me that she wanted to have her dream wedding although she had no money. I could not bring myself to spend so much on a wedding only to end up eating hand to mouth in my marriage. It became a back and forth argument. Her dad wanted it small, but her siblings wanted it big. My mum did try to advise her, but she felt my mum shouldn't have a say in her wedding being a supposed generation Z.

I did have to look for ways she would be happy without spending too much. Then the counseling issue came, and I was informed to come back to Abuja by her pastor. It was inconvenient, so I told her to recommend virtual counseling because I'm not ready to go and spend a lot staying there. She was mad at my response, saying that it was disrespectful, suggesting such to a supposed man of God, making it disrespectful to God.

I did try to let her know that we could use the money to do something else, but she was adamant. After some time, I did succumb to her demand, but she felt that it should not have led to an argument in the first place and decided to call the wedding off. I tried calming her down and even suggested that we postpone it, but she wouldn't budge with a reason so petty. It hurt at first. It made me lose focus for a while, but I guess I've pretty patched up now hence my decision to share with you all.

God bless us all.
you will be fine jare. No be girls again? Lol and btw, don't ever make the mistake of marrying her cos something tells me she will want to come back to you

So in this whole write up... its the "did" for you....

There's such a thing called redundancy, when you repeat a word or phrase a lot of times, it becomes redundant. There are lots of ways to show past tense in a write-up without slamming 'did' in every sentence

If you can get over this you'll be very strong in your future relationships. That's your number one gain from this break up. Secondly, from your narration, you almost forced this lady unto yourself. Don't do that again. Hold on to your emotions no matter how much you love a woman. Make yourself scarce and pretend you are not interested and the table will turn.

Sometimes, it is not actually a situation of loving the husband less, it's usually not being reasonable enough to spend with the confines of the man's purse. And, there is this peer pressure on some young, impressionable ladies to have a "loud" wedding irrespective of their prevailing financial situation.

And I'm telling you as a woman that the person you quoted is 100% right. Don't argue it, you can't know any better cos you're not a woman.

Never seen someone use 'did' like you 'did' throughout the write-up
Did u need to remind him that you've never seen anyone use 'did' like he did? Nigerians and their 'I too know' mentality
