Weddings, I think are overrated; the luxury and extravagance of just setting up a party and having 5,000 people who don't care about you eat your Jellof rice and chicken, some would even have the intrepidity to say it doesn't taste nice.

How about the needlessness of that thing called bridal shower abi train?


A lot of things are just wrong about Nigerian style of weddings. which makes foolish couples even borrow money to set a day's events, that they'll spend months after wedding paying off

So how can one curtail cost, and have an intimate wedding?
What in your opinion is needless in wedding parties?

let's converse.

Very easy bro.

Just tell those invited that reception holds at your house (that is, where you will be residing with your wife.).

Fry buns and cow meat and serve them that with a cold bottle of soft drink each. Then you give a speech on how you met your wife. At the end, you guys will make a toast to the latest couple in town (one of your buddies should initiate that for you).

OR

Just do the reception in an open field without mounting canopies. There's one in Benin, inside that ring road round about. It's not really a field but can host a number of people.

As people come, let one of your family members serve them a cupful of very cheap eva wine and meat . Then you give them a brief funny history of how you met your wife.

Then una go make a toast to the latest couple in town.

Then walk across to each of them, with a cup of wine in your hand and thank them for being at your wedding.


PS: Just use 3 girls and 3 guys in your bridal train.

50K will the wedding. It's just a very simple cocktail "party". Don't hire DJ o.

Pay the bride price then go to court to have the union legalised. If you're a Christian, go to church on Sunday for church blessing.

No need for reception. Costs saved.

When the focus is about the marriage and not the wedding that is when costs will be reasonable but since most woman base their life and wedding aspirations on bellanaija the cost will remain astronomical and the aspirations unrealistic. Or when a groom plans his wedding I can guarantee costs will be kept low now since this won't happen either ..I see no way forward as what needs to change is mindsets
