When i mean 500,000 naira, its just the fee to pay the weddings planner thats not the money to setup the wedding.

Sundaisy:
Fellow Nairalander,
My wedding is coming up by December and I want to start planning now, but I don’t know how and where to start, Please I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!}
@ sundaisy
my candid advice
1. do a budget on ur expenses
2. buy wedding planner magazine ( its a monthly magazine)
3. get ideas by attending pples wedding
4. get ur friends involved ( two good heads are better than one)
5. 2 things dat must be handy( biro and a note pad) ideas springs up every seconds
6. inspirations comes from within, dare to be different
7. surf the net
8.

I'm sure the pastors didn't invite them, it's just that politicians are so desperate, they are targetting popular pastors with large congregations. They'll soon visit TB Joshua and Kumuyi

Pastors will only err when they declare publicly who they intend to vote for. Make no mistake, 80% of their followers will follow their lead!

I understand Chris Oyakhilome has declared NO TO OKOTIE! That's also unfair.

Listen to Gracious. Her words are pearls of wisdom. Don't attend.

You guys probably have friends in common & those ones will attend. Trust me, they will come back to gist you. There is no need putting yourself through any unnecessary stress to attend the wedding, because of the guy.

Afterall, he thought you were good enough for him to bed, but not good enough for him to wed. Look, a lot of people who knew you & him as an item when you guys were dating, would be present at that weding. And I can guarantee, you would be the main subject of their gossip. So why would you subject yourself to the indignity of having people gossip about you, because you attended his wedding?

Believe me my dear, it is not worth the stress. If you showed up, he might take it as a sign that you couldn't keep away from him, if he is as arrogant as you say he is.

So why bother? If you must attend a wedding, attend the weddings of those people who truly love you for who you are & value your presence in their lives. Not a two-timing jerk who took delight in stringing you along & toying with your feelings, when he had nothing decent to offer you.

My two cents.

Seun:
If you give her gold now, and later you decide to dump her, it might be more painful. When you give such gifts, it's assumed that the relationship is getting more serious. If you give gold now, what will you propose with?

Blenheim:
Is there anything wrong with giving a gold necklace as a gift to girlfriend you havent proposed to?
My friends say its wrong but I don't think so.

sisimose:
question for you, does she steal any and everthing she see, any where? does she do it with every one? because if it is just you she is taking money from , argghh i am confused by this post, why is she a kleptomaniac?

Well if she really is one then you can not help her, only professional help can do it for kleptomaniacs, no amount of talking will do.Goodluck to her

Bossman:
We have come a long way and it's time your GF's dad realize that. he needs to be able to put whatever reservations he has behind, move on and let his daughter do what she sees is best for her. I can't believe that in this day and age, some people still hold this beliefs. We know the differences are there, but I have also seen a lot of Ibo/Yoruba marriages. What should matter is the love and respect the parties have for each other. It should be pointed out that that you will see more of the Yoruba guy/Ibo girl relationships rather than the reverse though.

ALL,

Its true that Nigeria is not a muslim state but the Ajami inscription on the Notes had not dettered anybody from spending the notes when they were introduced. Now that its been removed, the question still remains, what has anybody gained from its removal.

The Nigerian state is a plural society; ethnicity, religiosity and culturally. We always should respect ourselves. From most postings on this thread, that respect which is vital to our successful co-existence is not displayed. If most go on in real life with the kind of attitudes articulated here, the country I am sorry may not progress. Even when we differ on issues, we should have the courtesy and decency of being polite in our contributions. I think everybody should go back to his/her previous posts and see if decency had been applied. We can start achieveing peace and progress through this forum.

Seun:
I don't think it's fair to refer to "yourself" as your confidant. The word is meant to refer to someone else.

My greatest confidant is an online friend. My other confidants are also online friends. I'm an online person!

Sweetie, it depends on you. I am equally on it now. One thing i found out is that you can never figure out how much u will spend, but you can give a range. However, mind you, you arent doing it to please anybody. You have to cut your coat according to your cloth (not size).

You will really cut cost, if u do the engagement and the wedn the same day, thats if its possible. But where its not possible like in my case, its indeed additional cost and separate cost on its own. For the two budget about 400k - 500k to have a moderate ceremony. Mind you, for some people 500k will only for the wedn gown!! So u have to plan according to your pocket so that u don't drink gari afterwards. You can actually have a wedn with 100 - 200k, it all depends on what u want.

Good Luck!!

kkutecolo:
