At most... 100 guests.... Low key but classy.

Gosh! You read my mind Sis! #lowkeybutclassy

Toks2008:
Many guys are thinking of getting married but Nigeria's economy is not smiling but a man got to do what he got to do so we would like to know from the ladies the type of wedding ceremony they want in terms of cost in figures putting into consideration the present economy of the country.

Over to the ladies.

Small wedding .. church preferably need to Get that blessing from God
Wedding dress by Vera Wang .. ring must be yellow Diamond oooooooo
Always wanted to have the reception at Dubai nice clean n Classy
Then it's owambe party ( have to keep the family happy we must spray money like kilode part of tradition)
Might even be a two day event

That's it really

Ishilove:
Very quiet and low key with a maximum of 50 people in attendance. 25 from my side, 25 from his.

What informs my choice is not economy but privacy. It is not how lavish a wedding ceremony is that will determine the success of a marriage.

For example, the 1980 wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana was the most beautiful and lavish wedding ceremony up to that point in history. It was broadcast to billions worldwide and leaders across the world attended.

Today where are they? Prince Charles is married to someone else while Lady Di is in the grave. And they were separated for years before her death.

Noise. It is not by feferity and noise.

Marriage is serious business and people nowadays get so carried away by the fanfare of wedding ceremonies that they forget this immutable fact.

50 people??

Ishi you can lie o!

funmisticqueen:
My white wedding, 300 people, 150 from each side, i will rent a wedding gown or design myself. For the white wedding reception, 2 million should cover it maximum, 2.5 million, for court just me and my bae, like 200k should cover it. For traditional too, also 300 people mostly family and friends, 2 million should cover it. This is my minimum standard, we will both achieve this without any wahala after or soaking garri during honeymoon. I am hustling, you had better be set..

I love those eyes

Lalas247:

Mama d mama
E make too much sense

Sisi, it is well

Divay22:

I still don't believe in words too ..
But let's leave it that way, when it's time for Action, we'll see

Good

When the time for action comes, I want you to know that it will be 100 - 0

Yeah

I don't any contribution from you

You like that?

Ishilove:

Sisi, it is well

Sha invite us .. make I come shake my yansh catch one member of the groom squad slipping
Abi make i catch bouquet

I love a simple tasteful affair...good food, lovely appearance and wonderful music.

Something really posh in a small room where we could all see and hear one another without much strain. In fact, my parents and his aren't allowed to bring in more than 10 people combined. Then me and him bring in 20 each. No special MCs, just his friend or mine. We play all the songs we know, we talk, we eject the old people as soon as could be managed...then we dance! Please let there be wine and sweet beers

Where's my popcorn.....chai I don come late o......

Divay22:
Op to be sincere, I don't know..
But I'll make sure he's not stressed out or worked up over issues of wedding and the bills will be split into two,because I don't have anybody that I'm trying to impress or imitate when it comes to wedding.....

And at the end of the day, Our happiness and home is all that matters the most to me..I'm just more concern about the marriage than the wedding.

I love the quote on your dp

YoungDaNaval:
Someone just made mention of 2.5m for white wedding and 2.5m for traditional wedding. just for a day or two event? Anyway, thank God I've got a son. there's no point of getting myself involved in marriage. I'm a free man!!!

The tin weak me nor be
Just imagine after spending that huge sun and still be paying house rent after yr wedding....

[It is eaier said than done,especially when u are a first child getting married to another first child/fisrt daughter/ first son .One or both parents might not allow the low key arrangement to see the light of the day,after all plans have been made,they will always remember to hide and call another friend or person that has not being invited.

quote author=tosyne2much post=58463602]I'm also a fan of a low key wedding. I would prefer a court marriage and a [b][/b]wedding reception should follow suite. All these church palava doesn't freak me a bit [/quote]

jchioma:
Economy is not smiling at all o! However, I'm not given to ostentatious lifestyle, so it should be something modest. The Traditional will gulp more. Court is cheap and simple. We will free the Church ceremony. Give or take, a budget of N250k will do.

And you're ibo ryt?
Don't think that money will be enough for any man who wanna marry an ibo lady let alone offset his marriage bills

Saying you make sense is just understatement.
Haven read your dp, I'll say u r really in love with this lucky guy.
Ladies with this mentality is the world's need. We can be friends. A pm has been waiting.

Now I see why you're a mod.
You can also moderate a home.

The most truthful and real comment. May God grant it for u.

All those people saying 50 or 100 people, do they think this is America?
By the time u add one father and mother's relative of the bride and groom, you'll have nothing less than 300 guests.

QueenOfNepal:
I ll make sure me and my hubby do only traditional then court wedding.



No reception.



The merriment took place in the traditional so after court wedding. Honey moon things.

Same wedding ceremony I have made up my mind to do.....a very low key traditional wedding. ...indoor just my parents and uncles and aunties and her people....
There after court wedding the next day and reception afterwards.....we can go see the pastor in his office to bless the wedding...

Tahrah:
Here to read comments.

Seated next to you with my popcorn.
Came to read lies.

all these ladies saying low key wedding is ok, i believe they are all lying, most of them want heaven on earth wedding, very elaborate one.

Benita27:
His pocket will tell but at most a 100 guests.

Why will his pocket alone tell? What happened to your own pocket?

I'm interested, could you please give me a breakdown of how the expenditures would look like

How the fuckkk is that intelligence. It's just like she said it is. It's privacy

Na congea,!!!!
Na congeal level dey make young man boy on 20-30 dey say 80uear old woman sexy.

thesuave10:


Even worse.. .she referred to it as noise, it could be fun to someone else. Also Prince Charles wedding has nothing to do with marriage. How can you call that reference intelligent. What has wedding got to do with the marriage. Being lavish or not has nothing to do with intelligence. nairalanders like that ishilove lack sense. Go to reddit and see intelligent comments and not that B. S

+ her reference is a general stoey.not like she created it from her head.

Better pikin...U are getting married dis year to d man of ur choice in Jesus name

Ishilove:

Ehn, it is left for you two to sit and draw up a plan. What ever you come up with will determine the estimate.

It's all about understanding and compromise. You know what you want, you know how much your husband-to-be, and even you can afford. If you can afford to spend millions then nmaka why, go ahead. If not then you know what your budget will be. It's not hard.

Abeg we are the ones complicating issues for ourselves.

Definitely, some pple dey borrow to get married. Can u imagne?
