What do you have to say on this ?

I just stumbled on my marriage note where I wrote down all my expenses while I prepared for my marriage and decided to share. This topic is to guide those planning for their wedding on how much on the average they should budget for their marriage. Although the amount you will spend depends on what you want and the tribe/family you are marrying into. I actually budgeted N1,200,000 (1.2 million) but ended up spending close to 2million.

I got married November 2018 to my beautiful esan girlfriend of 4 years. Here is the breakdown:

Pre-wedding
1. Lab test for HIV, Genotype and pregnancy (as instructed by the church) - N5000
2. Transportation to take her to see my parents - N10,000
3. Ring 18 karat gold (engagement, and wedding rings) - N75,000 (from aboki)
4. Wedding certificate - N4000
5. Wedding seminar organized by my church - N4000

This are the little I could remember, I will update as soon as I get them. It was supposed to be a budget marriage but I spent close to N2,000,000 despite cutting off as much expenses as permitted. What was ur marriage budget? Did you stick to your budget or did some unforseen expenses prop up? Please share for the benefit of those planning theirs.

God bless U. All these kids on nairaland who think their Tinubu commands Naija politics but don't even know he is just a tool put to work when needed

Dogara is clutching at straws...he is finished politically

BabaIbo:
The only places above comparable to houses in Sabon gari is Nasarawa GRA and maybe Bompai estate/GRA. And most houses in Bompai GRA na full residential houses i.e you have to rent the full house, same with Nasarawa GRA. Forget about the rest...
No compare Badawa layout with Sabon gari. Badawa layout no reach joor.

P.S- When you're comparing them, make sure the houses are of the same standard. You can't compare a house in the heart of Nasarawa GRA with one house in one corner of Sabon gari. Houses in Sabon gari depends on the locality and environment
