Is It Ideal For Fiance And Fiancee To Save Together In Preparation For Wedding by flipflop(op): 5:36pm On Apr 16, 2017

Good day all, this question has been on mind for a while. "should intending couples who are getting set to marry each other pool their resources i. e money together in order to meet the expenses for the wedding and marriage" Note that the ratio of contribution is such that the man contributes more e. g 60:40 - man:woman
Matured madams and sirs, pls what is your take on this? Thanks

I don't get the question here?
Is one person supposed to die of expenses because he/she is getting married to the other?

They should pull resources together, that's COMMON SENSE 101.

'but, don't give your man money for your own bride price. That's if you're from one of those 'obtaining' cultures. Instead beat it down to what he can afford.
^^^my opinion.

Save together in same account? Unless it's a joint account and both partners are signatory.

With the kind yahoooze proposals everywhere, only a fool will go save money in another's account all just to answer Mrs or Mr.

It's usually a trick by d man. The suggestion always comes from certain kind of men. If the family is involved in d wedding, it is always a scam by d man. If the family is not involved, then it is allowed. For instance, if d couple wild be d ones to pay for the venue, musician, invitation...etc then they hav to save together. Saving together for ring or clothes or bride price or cake is a strategy for men to share their responsibility. U wild end up saving together for rent and sch fees. I suggest each partner to pick what aspect they want to handle according to each' budget.

I was serious. I know women sponsor weddings, even go as far as giving the man the money to play the role of bringing it out from his pocket all because of desperation (maybe, age catching up with her/them) but paying HER own brideprice (wey no be India we dey) sounded funny..

Issokay!!

instead of that why don't you take on different expenses.

Like shared expenses.

You pay for the cake, cathering, your dress, while he pays for the hall, decor, drinks etc etc.

Besides, if you're going to be a couple, you both should have sort out financial responsibilities. So what applies for couple A might not apply to Couple B.
