Nne, "undream" them! If he doesn't want a big wedding then flow with it. Do you love him? If yes, please let it go. Love is all about compromise & understanding, letting go of some of the things you love to come to an agreement.

You can let go of this one and insist on an elaborate naming ceremony, child dedication or even wedding anniversary & by the time he will insist on low key again then you can stand your ground at least he should be the one to let go this time.

Pele dear! I know it's painful, but isn't love all about sacrifices? If i were you, i won't let this bother me

Do you love him enough to spend the rest of your life with him should be your major concern and not how the ceremony looks like.



One of you have to step back for the other in this decision.

Once in a life time my foot.
Must u show off?
Must u copy other people?
Where is it written in your Bible/Qur'an that you must shout your wedding and do all the bla bla ceremony?
Are you a material lady?
Do you want a happy marriage or mouth watering wedding that wont last a year.?
How old are you?
Do you want to remain at home ?


Traditional wedding is the main thing and u guys can go to court if u wish.

Stop following the 'public', go with the guy cos he is the one in charge.

Which one is parlour traditional wedding... never heard of that before... Or are you talking about introduction?
Re: Please I Need Advise!!! by Acidosis(m): 6:01pm On Sep 14, 2016
I share the same belief system on weddings with your boyfriend.

Show off is okay, after all na you get your money but please respect your boyfriend's wish. Na man dey marry woman, not the other way...

It is not always about the money, some people hate noise and unnecessary attention. I'm very sure if you had dated a man like Mark (Facebook), you would love to shut down the whole Federal Capital Territory in the name of wedding and attention.


Na una type dey love to LOOK rich, rather than be RICH.

I'm afraid your hubby is the one that has to compromise here.The wedding involves families and you're not just the one having an occasion,they are too.It doesn't have to be a loud wedding but it'll surely involve families and friends.
I guess he's shy and probably an introvert.It's once in a lifetime(hopefully) so he should deal with it.If he's thinking of evil people,he should take charge through prayers.

Just Look at that...

here is a woman who is supposed to love and stand by her husband and also reason with him. None of that, all she WANTS is a BIG WEDDING CEREMONY so she can update her facebook and BBM and whatsapp and twitter and instagram and opress her friends.

I saw her writing about how she LOVES big weddings and how she has always dreamed of big weddings. but there was no where in this whole super story did she talk about how much she loves her boyfriend or how he is her dream man. Perhaps she doesn't love him that much & maybe he is not her dream man and all she WANTS is a big wedding.

Please don't marry him ifhe does not give youa big wedding and call Tuface to come and sing African Queen for you.

Trust me, big weddings are over-rated, and in this economy, completely unnecessary.

If your family wish to sponsor the wedding and everything, please encourage your partner not to worry about anything so that your family will give you the most amazing wedding ceremony.

But if your partner is the one to foot the bills, please respect his decision and prepare yourself for marriage.
The money some individuals spend on wedding can actually provide for their needs or they can even invest it for their children.

Be marriage conscious and not wedding conscious!!!

He is a wise man, hubby and I did same. My dear forget elaborate wedding, marriage is what matters not one day celebration. if u won't accept allow him marry one who will if not u won't let him rest through the marriage. U will keep reminding him of how he deprived u d joy of wedding. Be wise.

Hmmm, different strokes!

I want what your bf want sweetheart, it is the easiest jare. I would just use money for decorations to uplift my family house or rent a small garden. I want cosy and intimate affair. However, I once seriously dated a guy who says he won't 'hide' to marry me. He wants to go the whole nine yards! Whew, I wouldn't have liked a wedding like that...I want to it so small that I could make eye contacts with all the guests!

See if the two of you could meet in the middle, after all it is as much your wedding as it is his. Good luck.

Your boyfriend is a wise person. An elaborate wedding doesn't guarantee a successful marriage, case in point the 1980 wedding of Prince Charles and Diana. Over 1 billion people tuned in to watch the wedding ceremony, Lady Di wore a gown that cost the budget of a small country, world leaders attended etc

Today where are they? Charles is with Camilla and Di is 6ft under. The marriage had already broken down before she died sef.

My point is this: if your man wants a small wedding then compromise. Forget all these 'once in lifetime event so it must be elaborate' nonsense. Wedding and marriage are very different, and you should focus on the forever after, not one day owambe.

Let me also add that God steps into a marriage the day brideprice is paid, the rest are just ceremony. Anyone who says God recognises only church wedding is dwelling in ignorance.

You can only imagine my shock the day my mum told me that in our hometown, once a woman's brideprice is paid she moves in with her husband. The wedding day is the day brideprice is paid and other traditional rites are performed. No elaborate ceremony or unnecessary noise making.

She says it is when she came to Lagos that she heard of 'traditional wedding and church wedding'.

My pastor always sounds it in our ears to get married traditionally and in court (to protect the woman legally). Leave church wedding because all that is just NOISE.

What is it wit women and big weddings does dat guarantee a successful marriage? Is either he was warned(from d spiritual angle),or he is afraid cos he thinks some tin cud go wrong if its dat big,or he cud b married else where n wudnt want word to get out to d other woman or he is just not into all that stress n noise. Do ur own findings n if he is clean go ahead n just marry before we begin to tell the stories that touch.

Why is everyone saying "big weddings don't guarantee successful marriage"? So do small weddings guarantee successful marriage? undecided undecided ..whether big or small wedding, what matters is that the two persons involved genuinely love each other...

What's parlour traditional marriage? I wouldn't want that too. . Not even a small wedding kinda but parlour wedding? That means everything will be done in a small room or what? Because he doesn't want to show off? Who says celebrating love means showing off? Wish me and my husband can be celebrating our anniversary yearly kiss kiss .
The main thing is not spending beyond your means and from what you wrote money isn't even the problem. .so?

Sorry, your fiance should consider your feelings too.. BOTH of you are involved in this, not just him ... Both of you should reach a peaceful agreement where they'll be mutual happiness/satisfaction..

However, in as much as I wouldn't want a "parlour wedding" , I wouldn't let the issue come between me and my partner especially if he's a good man...
I wish you the best Op..

Tiwa Savage married in Dubai, where is she today? Alone in South Africa, putting on show bobi. If you pressure the man to do something he doesn't want to do, it may not end up well in the future.
The essential things in marriage are commitment, communication, honesty and financial security.
If you have all these, why worry your pretty little over a lavish wedding that won't last for more than six hours?
There are so many women going from church to church, babalawo to fake pastors, looking for a man to call a husband.
You have someone who has all it takes and your only problem is his refusal to do a big wedding?
Nnaa, nawa o!

The guy might be hiding from an aggrieved ex and he doesn't want wahala on his wedding day.
The lady won't understand what some guys go through with their ex before they marry. Some of these women can go to any length to see that the wedding is stopped.
It might be the reason or it may not.
