Rocktation:


The interesting answer to your question, which is yet another question, is why do you need any woman at all if you're confused as to what they bring to the table?

mrking3:
@OP stop giving us zobo here!! Even 50k can't be enough to celebrate one's birthday let alone of wedding!! You can't tell this honourable house of nairaland that you bought 2 bags of rice which I know is worth 20k, bought packs of fish and other miscellaneous expenses with 30k!! That's trash man! [b]WHAT IS WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING WELL! [/b]You ended up embarrassing yourself before your inlaws and the entire whole village! You should have saved up atleast 200k for an average wedding I wonder why the rush in the first place when you aint even ready!! I'm planning to do my white and Trad this year and I've tried all I can to make an average budget evrything will cost about 400k. That's even the minimum!!! For both traditional Rites which include marriage LIST, Trad, and white wedding. All will be done same day just to save cost. When I saw your thread I got attracted to read how you made it with just 50k but then, that's way below average! Just CLASSLESS! How do you do such lifetime event without serving people with common pure water, mineral and meat? Wow!! Who does that? Shameful bro!!!

mrking3:
just shut up and get off my mention!! You think everyone is gullible and easily brainwashed like you? This is Nairaland and not 2go where anyone can drop zobo without asking questions! So even in your widest dream you believe your friend paid his wife's bride price, performed all other traditional wedding rites, bought two bags of Rice including cooking ingredients with fish and other expenses with just 30k? You must be so dumb to believe this!!! Pls, lastly! Get off my mention.

Why in seven hells haven't you featured in any of MizMyColi's pageants??

zomoears:


Oga, wedding is not marriage...it is only d beginning. when we emphasise wedding above marriage...

That said, op is married with N50k. If u like, spend N10m, u will only end up married. Same as him. QED.
agreed, no one is disputing DAT fact, I personally ain't a big fan of the excessively flamboyant wedding, wht we need to understand is, 50k can't marry a wife, its NT realistic, if u said 100k no wahala, but 50 We NT stupid o.....50k na money for phone or wedding gift, NT wedding!!

geoworldedu:


Na wa o! He mentioned village nah. The marriage was done in a rural setting so drums of water is still an acceptable and a potable drink

eddydey:
Lolz @ seven drums of water! @ OP, it's either you are trying to be sarcastic with you story or you are being economical with the truth. There's no way u can organized a wedding no matter how small with 30k!
On the other hand you refuse to give alcohol for the trad, but still gives money for the same alcohol, what different does that makes?

BigBashiru:


Leave that thing its not as if say u de carry young virgin with a good head on her shoulders.

bigtt76:
Anyway did they give gifts? That's your guests? #justasking

Ishilove:

He couldn't afford anything besides pure water. I don't think anything is wrong in that.

deevatee:
so dat she will start lookng older dan d guy and 5 yrs leta d husband wull say she's no longer young ,pretty and sexy abi?

menix:
Ow I wish I can ve such courage.

Had a funny experience, budgeted 1.5million last year buh had a million jan. 2014 instead of proposing nd takin d bull by d horn.
Had 2 postpone d proposing till I get d extra 500k.
While I waited she did not wait nd now I don't even ve d million box nd ve lost out on her.

Wish we culd really learn to cut our boxers to size us..

missbronze:
If he had wanted her.., he wouldn't have let her go.

blackbeau1:
read the post again. he didn't say pure water, he said 7 drums of water

idupaul:


She clearly did not like U

missbronze:
A million for a wedding?

Dear, that's too much. although, i dnt know what u earn.

But, i believe u can achieve or invest in a more reasonable tin with that amount. than, wasting it all in a day on a wedding ceremony.

Ishilove:

It must be a typo. He meant pure water

BigBashiru:


To me the only good thing women bring is cooking skills and curing conji.

Not worth 1 million!

Buh d little research i did was within d range of that amount, jst dat most tym u ask fwends ow much dey spent on theirs, dey dont give straight answers...

olaglamour:

Not all ladies can be as frank as I was, I made my hubby cut the wedding budget to the least.
A month to my wedding, my friends came to my house to pick up their Aso-ebi, in the course of our discussion, they showed me samples of several nice wedding regalia, I told them they are so nice but they shouldn't bother, that my wedding gown will be brought from Lagos(even when I know that I no dey use gown).

Fast forward to the eve of the D- day
Most of them came on friday , na so them start again, Ola!!! where ur make up artist dey? I look them com smile tell them say she dey come on Saturday morning.
Morning came, I brought my beautiful white lace, with nice Aso oke(attire for mosque). They were like shuuu!!!! Ola, but u tell us say na gown, I just look them, them ask again, the make up artist Make up kini Hey you, bring ur foundation, you, bring by your powder, na so all of them bring out their make up kit come do the make up for me. Na one of the even tie the gele for me at Mosque and reception.

The truth of the whole matter is most ladies won't consider their purse. All that matter to them is that day, they always forget about what happens after the guests are gone.
Guess what? We had a colourful wedding with our small budget and we are happy. To God be the Glory
