We cut our coat according to our fabric.

We didn't sell asoebi to raise funds, we didn't task family members or friends, we didn't beg or borrow.

We did a small traditional marriage and went to the court to seal it.

Everything no pass 800k.

The monetary gifts we got, we used to buy luxuries needed in our house.

Best decision of our lives.
Love this

■ for some reasons you drove fear into me embarassed i know hypogamy means marriage into a lower caste, class, or social group.
■ Men dont bother much about where they find love. ■ Also in Nigeria, its hard to differentiate between the lower class and the middle class. Its just the lower class and the higher class
1. undecided

2. Where these men find love or where they are instead more likely to find women to worship them —as though gods — in marriage? undecided

3. You don't need to concern yourself with such things though. Look around you and you will find that about 83% of those who marry women who are from lower income brackets end up regretting it. So what that ought to cause you to do is look for and date women who are well within your own income bracket. undecided

I love this topic and I am planning to get married towards early next year and I think plans have been perfected by me and my fiancee.

First, I have discussed with the parents that we will be having a low key wedding (I never propose ooo but they know my intention)

I think they subscribe to it even though the mum is secretary general in her meeting.

So here is the plan.

We are both from the east but based in Lagos with our families and friends.

We will be taking the wedding to east (igbos no like do wedding for lagos) for traditional rites. It will be low key with no party, just pay dowry, cook food and play music, no much noise.

After trad, we come back to Lagos, we go straight to church for church blessing, just closed family and friends are needed.

After that we go home and have a drink with families and closed friends.

So where the money will be spent will be to fulfil the things on the list that's all.

I gave them two options

1. I do a loud wedding and we go hungry or
2. I do a quiet wedding then save up the money to open a business for their daughter so she becomes independent and we plan our home.

They agreed with option two.

Reminds me of my unfortunate ex who cheated on me and still wants me back. Broke ass nigga with no job to his name! Someone I loved and was willing to overlook a lot of things for.
This unfortunate nonentity that cannot hold a job for up to six months believes in his deluded mind that I'd take him back. I don't know who reassured his dull brain that I'd be willing to marry down.. now that I'm back to my senses. I've told him to go back to the girl he cheated with. What a crazy fellow!!!
Hypogamy rarely ever works for anyone. It didn't work for our ancestors and it certainly can't work even now as the evidence against it is all around us. undecided

Meaning. How much do have. You think everyone is stupid and greedy like you.
Of course most claim they are neither stupid nor greedy in the beginning. But when reality hits them, those are usually some of the very first to change tunes. undecided

I find that commonsense works best in all situations. And commonsense has revealed that about 83% of the time, those who enter into hypogamous relations — the partner who marries down particularly — end up regretting it in the end. So, avoiding such situations is what is common sense. undecided

Don’t ‘raise’ money to finance your wedding
If you can’t use some of your savings (note, some, not even half please!) then you’re either not ready (cos you expenses will double when a wife and kid comes) then marry according to what a low budget can afford with just family members

Never borrow to marry
Give your wife a gift of a fixed deposit
Give yourself a gift of a fixed deposit too
Instead of spending too much, cut a check for your family, her family, the church and an orphanage and go small. Unless you can go big and still do all these together, it’s not worth getting into debt just to marry

...

The most important part of wedding is FOOD AND DRINKS.Get this right by giving a competent vendor ,who isn't related to both parties,to handle the cooking and distribution of both on your day.

Live within your means I found it insulting to borrow for wedding,or not being able to buy a car after wedding because you incurred humongous amount on wedding.

Budget.It is very easy to be deceived into spending to 'celebrate your day'..You will be tempted to splurge on things that aren't necessary.As such,I can't overemphasize the importance of Budgeting and financial discipline.

Gifts and presents.Please ensure you attach a gift or wine to every card/I.V that you will be sending out.It shows that you value everyone that you will be inviting and it always produce a sweet savour.

Accomodations;It is important you ask your guests the kind of accomodations that they can afford and work on arranging it for the people you are inviting from far places.Inform them on time the reservations and the cost implications of it.



Pray and be positive-minded .Wars are won in the mind ,and a thankful and positive mindset conquers all.

By buying drinks to invitees, you think it's easy financially?

You are even making it worse for OP and the rest. *Spits*

But you'll agree with me that saying one needs to fix date and funds would start coming in "miraculously" is misleading

A bachelor planning to marry should know how much is in his account and plan accordingly while ensuring he cuts his coat accoring to his cloth.

This is just common sense. Believe in God doesn't remove common sense

Imagine what men go through just to pay bride price, sponsor wedding ceremony and take care of in-laws.

Do not go through such stress just to have a woman who was fvcked when she was intact (virgin) by a boy who didn't even know her parents not to mention paying bride price on her.

A woman who has given her best (virginity) to another man should not expect the best from you.

A woman you did not disvirgin will fvck her ex the moment he shows up to her on Facebook or in the market. Never marry such a woman. Just fvck her and let others continue fvcking her.


Do not allow any family sell a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by many men to you as a bride. She isn't a bride anymore cus she has no pride left in her. No glory left in her, she's now a cargo of bad news.


Only a fool will suffer to marry a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by many men. Are you the fool?



Finally, fvck any girl you want but it comes to marriage, take the pains to find a virgin woman and marry. Better to suffer to find a virgin woman and have a lasting peaceful home than to marry a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by many men and SUFFER IN YOUR MARRIAGE.


No hymen, NO COMMITMENT.
Na ashawo everybody go marry last last

My late dad was a well to do business man who was intelligent and calculative to say the least.

He taught us what it meant to build wealth compound interest method.

We all could make 1.001% profit daily before we turned 10.

Now thats were your answer lies.

In my year 24, I had about N7m, enough money to finance my marriage without the help of anyone, thankfully I married a good woman.

So I'm teaching same wealth building systems to my children.

They should be able to start building wealth even before 5.



I may not explain to your understanding without pictorial aid.

The image below is a compound interest table with a starting capital of N50,000.

Now I think the rest is self explainable.

Making just 1.0015 of your capital daily,

72% profit annually.

(This is more higher return than any financial institution can give.)

1st year you'd have only 36k plus added to become 86k in total.

In 10 years you are talking millions.

In this modern generation this can be achieved using almost every trading system there is out there, be it forex, sports, stocks, crypto etc, just look for which you're comfortable with and follow without greed!

It's all about the patience and consistency!

Take it as getting gratuity for yourself if you don't work for the government.

Or say creating something for your children's future if you're old already!

Nigeria is a funny country. You'll see men that are struggling bitterly financially still rushing to get married. No plan for how he's going to support his family. No plan for how he's going to support his kids. Before age 30 you'll already see them with 3-4 kids and the cycle of poverty continues.

Them no dey learn.

Start with a good budget that you and your partner can work with. As a rule, never go into debt to finance a wedding. If not ready, just postpone the wedding already, and also, do not allow yourself to be extorted by in-laws and family members. Always work with what you can afford.
