Married folks,
What was that thing you later realised you wasted your money on during your wedding ceremony?

For me was Wedding IV. Spent money printing quality IV. I should have just used WhatsApp, Facebook and SMS and people would still have come. My mums friends and associates was enough crowd.

I travelled with my woman to UK to shop for wedding gown, shoe and wrist watch. Spent £2,200 on gown. £800 wristwatch I cant remember the price of the shoe now. That's for madam alone.

Madam now forced me to buy wedding suits for me and my best man.

Looking back, I would have built a bungalow with this stupid expense. Even my madam now regrets spending such money on wedding gown that she wore for 2 hours and that was it. The gown is wasting somewhere now.

I know I wasted money unnecessary. My only joy is the good wife I married.

This one pained me much. My MC.He was already paid in full!
By 11am,we were already at the reception hall.

Dude came drunk claiming he was waiting for us for reception and decided to take some bottles.


It was the chairman that took over and handled everything. Thank God for that man that day.

When he started talking nonsense,we felt like the ground should just swallow us!

Let me not even remember "the church committee of friends from the choir that stole our wines and wedding gifts.Expensive wines he bought to show off. Wines were missing on the tables.Gifts nko?

The caterer later called us at night that they were fighting over who gets what! Lol

My husband regretted so much!

When I wedded pounds to naira was just about less than 200 naira to a pound so it's not current market rate. Naira get small value then...however it was a waste.

Buying an iPhone for the first time on my wedding day, later realise it was a waste of money.

The number of card we printed.500.
The food we cooked,buying cow ,chicken and turkey.
Three bags of rice.
Bachelor's Eve which was not important.
The traditional musician who never played.
We doing trad and white on different days.
So many unecessary expenses.
My hubby learnt the hard way cos all I said then fell on deaf ears.
His relatives kept encouraging him to plan a big wedding.after wedding it was very tough .thank God for God.
Now he does not joke with my opinion.
He is even the one advicing people to do a very small wedding and plan with the rest after marriage.

Renting a hall when I could have just used my parlour.

Nice topic. Upcoming couples will learn alot. Nice one OP.

Righteousness89 come and claim spending money on wedding is vanity.

Lol

Nothing is awaste, I had our marriage band aired on radio for two weeks before the d day but now whenever my wife is teasing me, I will joked about it, we will laugh over it, so is not really a waste even though I don't have to do it, cos it makes the memories of that day blissful, if u pay bride price of someone from mbaise and she still turn out a good deal, u will realize nothing is wasted on a wedding day... The money on me was exhausted all the things they told me they have removed as they see my parents car, they changed their mind.. thank God my mom came with money, I was shocked, And grateful to God who did not allow me to be put to shame

White wedding was a waste I should have avoided and done only traditional marriage

The woman

Women ehn

Everything was well manage thanks to my God sent wife............ Na money manager I marry

No regrets at all


But my elder brother is regretting after spending above 1m.

Can't you resell some things? Like the gown. If you feel you wasted so much money. I'm sure a gown of that price would still be good enough to fetch you some money.

Reception

D

I hate decorations! Under a few hours, everything is pulled down

My wife's wedding gown
Rented It at 17k
she wore it for 2hrs
And that's all
imagine that.

I thank
God

We later got 2.5plots with the money we should have wasted

Used my one of my suits
Although some people still quarelled that we didn't invite them..i tell them say na "Coro things"
