First, you have to do a small wedding
Secondly, you have to do everything on the same day
Thirdly, you can explore the option of a week day.

Pay the bride price in the morning with only both families in the babe's sitting room. A small meal like yam and egg sauce can be used to entertain the guests.

Next, go to church for the joining.

Come back home/reception changing into your traditional wear.

So you are only feeding people at the traditional reception and because it is a week day, the crowd is limited.
[color=#ff9999]Dear Op,


Kindly take this advice, it's exactly the same thing i wanted to type but I was not quick.[/color]

Bros! Choose one of two advice I have for you. In the end the decision is yours to make.


If N500k is all you have, plan well.
In the end, you'll realise that what you spend will be more than your budget because family and friends will assist in a way or the other. Go to God in prayers and discuss thoroughly with your woman before you begin.

I repeat! If N500k is all you have with no reliable means of income, invest it.

I have a furnished apartment. I don't want to spend too much on wedding because I am of the opinion that life after wedding is more important

plan small. You can never satisfy people no matter how big you budget.

Thanks the idea of doing all on the same day is worth Iooking into. My budget can go up a bit more but I want to make her very comfortable after the wedding, not to exhaust our finances just for wedding celebration

I really don't understand wedding for your side.

In Yoruba land... it's the girl's family that would be worrying now.

Is he the one wearing the gown that he is buying wedding gown for you sad shocked are you handicaped even who is handicapped still does something for him/herself.



@Op you can do registry marriage very cheap or do small traditional wedding inside parlour nor invite village people make them nor chop your money finish. If the girls family are reasonable they can assist you you should not be the only one to spend on your wedding. You can just call your pastor to pray for you, no need to do party and invite church members or else you go feed up to 100 people for the three events and the 500k nor go reach.
Do a very small wedding save the money and plan for your marriage with your wife to assist you. You must not do all three pick one or two and invite less people and that 500k will cover up all the little expenses with change to spare after the wedding is the most important
