I registered on this platform to tell my story and encourage other Nigerian youths who may have humble background like me, not to give up.

I did one of the craziest wedding in human history. I can’t stop laughing now as God has changed our story

COST OF THE WEDDING IN DETAIL:
Statutory marriage (court wedding) – took place in December, 2015

The court wedding was contracted at the marriage registry of Kano State, opposite Emir Sanusi’s palace, Kano municipal. Here are what I spent:
1) Wedding Certificate fee N8,000
2) Wedding ring N1,500
3) Clothes for the wedding for both of us (including sewing) N13, 600
4) Two crates of multina N5000
5) One carton of Digestive biscuit N600
6) Transport for both of us (kake napep) N200 (to and fro)

Total: N 28,900

No reception

Few invitees and no much celebrations


TRADITIONAL WEDDING:
I spent about 35,000 including clothes.

HOW IT STARTED

I was posted to Kano for my NYSC in 2014 August, Batch B. I fell in love with this beautiful lady and we had similar historical background. Before I completed my NYSC, I got admission to Bayero University for my master degree programme (march, 2015). I didn’t have what it takes for marriage and there was no help from anywhere. I really wanted to dump her and focus on my study but she never let me go.

She told me she want to go for master too, we hurriedly applied for her during the late application period, she was lucky she got admission to study community health. She took me to her parents who are based in Kaduna but are from Okrika in River state. Her parents are educated and gave me good advice and encourage us to get serious with our studies. The father told me to pay N5,000 as bride price and I spent about 30,000 for a very quiet traditional wedding.

In Kano, we live in a single room (self contain) opposite Bayero University gate, going to school together. I started a part time teaching with Al-Furkaan Science Academy with 18,000 salary and also work it for her to be teaching there too for 15,000 salary. The school management did not know that we are couple. Some teachers there were even trying to talk to her….
After our coursework, as if God was waiting for us to complete the coursework, boom!!! I was called by an agro allied company based in kano for interview. I applied online for the job. I got the job and we were both happy!!!

Three months later, my wife got a job with an NGO working in communities in Kano and Jigawa. Not long after, we moved to a two bedroom flat and got a car. We had a baby boy now and building a house in Otukpo, Benue state.

THIS IS MY TESTIMONY……
Start little and God we increase it…
I was so ashamed then and the people laughing at us them are now coming to begg us for money and support.

Now my wife is saying we should do a flamboyant, expensive, and gorgeous church wedding and invite all the people we invited during the low-key court and traditional marriage...and invite all friends, foes and all the people laughing at us at that time....

Nice and touching story.

But it worked for you guys because of your location.

If you guys were living down south, I bet you the story will be different because one; there are jobs in the north, especially NGO and manufacturing jobs due to people rejecting to work in the north as a result of insecurity and risk of life, making it easier for anybody willing to work in the north to get job easily.


I have a cousin who studied nursing, she has gotten so many job offers from NGOs in the north ready to pay her equivalent of 250k + 300k.

I don't know why the NGOs only want to take our youths to Boko Haram den, and refuse to have presence in states like Ebonyi, Ondo, Benue, etc that also need humanitarian help.


Anyway, congrats but if you are a youth living in the Southern part of Nigeria, please don't try this!

You should have share ur pics to inspire well well. Though ur story is cool and it good to start small but no matter what, wedding is once and one thing we experience in life.. No experience from our naming or burial but wedding is the last and first we will never forget till the last breath!!! If you don't have much, invite little but ensure it's classy and glamorous even with your cheap dress..

Enjoy ur beautiful marriage, not everyone us lucky

Wonderful Op.

I don't see anything in that wastage they call glamourous wedding nonsense. Even if i have all the money of this world.

My dream wedding that has been stuck in my head for long is having an open field(garden) wedding with my Family taking the front sit looking them in the eyes and smiling at each other and my five other friend sitting right at the back. That's all. The pastor join us together and we return back home as husband and wife lobatan.

You spent less than N30k on your wedding but instead of posting photos of the N13k clothes you and your wifey wore on that day, you uploaded photos of other people from the internet!

Are you being serious? You are encouraging and attempting to motivate other potential couples yet you have to steal wedding photos of foreigners to tell your story.

I feel like calling you fraud.

I also don’t want a wedding reception.
I want to go to registry and go for my honey moon.

I have noticed that weddings are only enjoyed by the visitors. The couples families always end up stressing and fighting. I’ve not heard of any wedding that family members did not fight or were unhappy about something. Somebody must complain about something!
I am unwilling to spend obscene amounts of money entertaining and feeding a bunch of people, while the people most important to me are more stressed than happy.
