Is The Groom Responsible For All Bride's Family Attire? by nellybadas(op): 1:08pm On Jun 27, 2016
Dear nairalanders. I 've got this friend who is planning for his wedding scheduled to hold in 2 months. From all indication it looks like he is the only one responsible for all the finance. Now he suddenly received another message from his wife to be that her family says in their place, the prospective groom is responsible for all her family attire for the wedding. Just want to ask. Is it right?

No it is wrong.

Is she from Imo State?

The wise ones drive through Imo State, to other States to get married. If you dare stop your car in Imo State for marriage, you are on your own.

If he's financially buoyant, cool.. If not, let the bride's people cut their coats according to their sizes.

Where is he getting his prospective bride from?There are some places where the demand can be that huge.
Do your research as a groom-to-be to know what you are getting into before you propose to a woman.
Is it right as you said Op?Well,it's the family that decides.

You are just wrong on this one.

Not all parts of Imo state are expensive, it differs from one village to another.

Also, i learnt that some villages have two lists, one given to neighbouring villages (which is lesser) and the second for grooms from outside the state.

Well some family can be very greedy; it depends on the family the bride is from. Its not compulsory at all. but he is solely most times responsible for the brides attire.

Am I the only one who noticed the complete absence of nairaland's in-house feminists on this thread? Oh, yeah, they are all at the other thread writing long headache inducing essays about gender equality and how the man should par take full time in house chores since, according to them, there is no difference between a man and a woman.
Nauseating hypocrisy

Whoever is wearing the attire must be responsible.

The groom should tell them to cancel all wedding arrangements if they can't find clothes to attend the wedding. That is exactly what I would do!

That is just a forewarning of the type of family hw is marrying into

Tell her people that you're not going to take charge of their attire during the wedding. If they can't let them buzz off.

All these long-long wedding list and demands should be scrapped, unless the brides and her family are willing to share a reasonable chunk of the financial responsibility that comes with it. Buy this and buy that just coz I wan marry bu maka why, ehh kilode?

People should learn to have a small wedding gathering, like court weddings and move on with their married lives. The amount lavished on weddings means and determines nothing.

Bouyant or not, stomp your feet on the ground and say no! It is not your responsibility. If you agree now, the future holds hassles for you from your inlaws. No matter how pauperized they are, if they dont have the dignity to dress for their daughter's/sister's wedding, then they got no self respect at all. The highest you can do is buy for the parents out of the generosity of your heart, not as an obligation. Whole family ke?. Bii ti bawo?

It's issues like this that makes me very proud of my Yoruba roots and heritage !!!

There's absolutely no Yoruba Tribe where the groom is made to foot the cost of the attire of the bride's family !!! Wth!!

What happened to some dignity from the wife's family? Will the groom also bear the cost of the shoes, bags, cap, etc?
