This isn't my moniker but i couldn't help but reply.

Firstly, marriage is not all about the couple. It also involves the couple's family. I want a moderate but classy wedding. You can't tell them not to invite their friends. As for me, 200 guests will do

Secondly, the economy is bad. So, i want my trad and court wedding on Friday while the white on Saturday. I love beautiful rings, infact, that is my priority. Economic recession should not affect the ring o...maybe about 100to150k. I don't mind renting gown. Nice Event hall + decor for 200 people... Dont know the price, estimate of 200k. The cake for white and trad(a family friend of mine charges about 70k for it). Food, drinks and snacks is there. The trad clothes, wedding gown, suit etc...

Finally... A minimum estimate for both trad, white and court wedding is 1.2 million. This is just my opinion.

What about countries with popes as leaders and their laws are controlled by the church?

i dont ever want to have a traditional marriage, too many unfamiliar ppl that i'm expected to shine teeth with and i refuse to have to pretend on my day to be so thrilled to see ppl idgaf about. so there...
i dont want a white wedding either cos it's very unnecessary in my opinion, i just dont get it.
my ideal wedding is a small court marriage with immediate family and very close friends present maximum 7 from both sides, total of 14, after the papers are signed, we'll have the reception at sunset till dawn at a private beach(with prior reservation of course), nothing tacky, very classy setting, good wine, good weed, good indie music, beautiful tall cake(this, i'm very particular about, my wedding cake must be outright stunning), we'll toast to life, get high, dance, make small talk and just enjoy ourselves. in the morning, we part ways with the guests and leave for our honeymoon. no extravagant gifts expected from my guests, we're just gonna make very good memories and let them be happy for us.

Honestly I just think this white wedding and trad wedding are flimsy and totally unnecessary.

Have a small family get together or bride price presentation to satisfy customs and tradition....proceed to registry and have a moderate reception.

Toks2008:


With due respect to the guys,the wedding day Is predominantly for the lady cos left to many guys we will not bother with any wedding ceremony and infact we won't mind if a lady just packs into our house so I guess that thread won't be necessary cos a wedding ceremony is majorly for the lady...My personal opinion.

Toks2008:


Please you ladies should include a figure so that we will have a better idea.

I created this thread cos of the erroneous mindset of many guys who believe that Nigerian ladies are freaks of lavish wedding and I also have that mindset so let's have a cost figure and not just description.

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

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.

Best wedding i attended was a court wedding followed by a parlour party. It was mostly family and close friends. It was so lovely and fun. Everyone knew almost everyone. The best part was food was in abundance and you could go to the kitchen to request your food without shame .

judgedredd22:


i hope you know there is nothing about wedding (especially traditional) that is "low key" in owerri! nwanne, kekwaaa nkwúcha!!

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.

Erm, you didn't say if you were single or not....?

Ishilove:

Fixing it on a weekday can reduce 'mogbo moya' people

joanana:

No offence but Oga u came from somewhere. U didn't drop from the sky. This is Africa, pay your dues to your people and leave. What family will allow you marry their child without following traditions no matter how little it is. Traditional marriage is not compulsory, just pay your dues to the family and her people and the main rite can be done inside the house

The day I see a woman with this kind of imagination.


I am married already.


Can't imagine myself dancing in the presence of hundreds of people.
Cutting cake and other jamboree that comes with it.

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.

gbam! life is simple, it is only as complicated as you make it!

abeg, how much is flight with keke from lagos to asaba? i'm already planning ahead for awa sontin!

IamKashyBaby:


If i were to choose, i wud prefer a very modest but solemn wedding ceremony...

Maximum 10 ppol will be invited. NO MORE THAN 10.

Civil wedding wud do. No need of a church wedding since i do not have a religion..

Wedding gown? Maybe.

Wedding Reception: Juz in hotel..So it will be counted..RSVP only.

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..

tosyne2much:
What are you talking about? So a marriage must held in church before it's spiritually bonded? And who told you church marriage is all you need to have a long asting marriage?

Let me tell you something, a marriage can dissolve whether it's a court or church marriage, so get your facts right bro
