lat55: Please I am in search of a hall anywhere in lagos that can seat 1000-1500 people. Preferably close to hotels n a church that we can use for the service. PLEASE HELP

It will do a whole lot of good, if you narrow it down to choice / preferable locations or budget. Lagos is quite big, you know

@Nayimi, you have got it sorted already. To appease ur mil, chose a coral shade close to orange

Its at Jibowu just by the end of Herbert Macaulay

Happy belated Birthday, dear!

I believe so much in dreams/visions and I doubt this is mere coincidence. Most likely, your niece is an object in the hands of someone.

I suggest you be watchful and prayerful. Leave the house if u can afford to

Before your questions are answered, you need to answer this very important question!

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO SPEND?!

Laibel: where can i get d kit pls n ao much

Walk into any good pharmacy in your area and ask for it. Costs between 1900 to 2500 naira

It contains 1 Tablet of Fluconazole 150 mg, 1
Tablet of Azithromycin 1 gm and 2 Tablets of
Secnidazole 1 gm each.

Take the fluconazole immediately, Azithromycin should be taken one hour before food or two hours after food and Secnidazole with food.

Make sure your partner takes it as well if you sexually active.

I won't advise using cream at this stage since its recurrent and most likely in the blood, so u need to treat your system

Itching could be a symptom of various infections! To be on the safe side Get Dazel kit which contains Azithromycin, secnidazole and fluconazole which is very effective and will stop itching within the hour.

Yvete: Thanks Sassygal. May God bless your hustle.

Thanks hon! Enjoy your day!

Btw @Rocktation, when are u inviting us for the launching of your event coy

[quote author='Keji ]Hello Ladies...thank u all for ur wonderful contributions,my wedding was dis last Saturday and everybody liked my colour combo all thanks to understand. I'll post pictures soon.[/quote]Awwwww sweet! You rocked the colours! God bless your home!

Wale112: Its only in Ghana I experience 24/7 electricity for months. The internet speed here is number 1 in Africa.

My dear, stayed for 10days and they only took light for 2 hours as there was a storm when it was raining. Brought the light back, 5 mins after it stopped raining.

MTN, only offers Nigerians epileptic services because as far as I can tell, the internet, call services etc are the best in Ghana

I am yet to try ABC, probably because I am always in a hurry and with them you have to book A WEEK ahead of the day you want to travel, book 1 or 2 days before, you may not get seat for that day.

CrossCountry was a terrible experience for me on one of my trips, so won't advice u use them unless last resort.

I used to prefer THE YOUNG till they messed up this past weekend. Didn't tell passengers the bus didn't cross the border the night before, about 50 passengers bought tickets and when they were certain other transport companies must have left Accra, announced they were sorry bla bla. Left Accra, 12noon friday got to Lagos 5am Saturday.

Anyway, they are fast and trusted and its 15k tho and fro with Passport.

For hotels, I recommend Catters Hostel. Its on East Legon road, very close to the mall. Rates are 50USD a night but you have 1 double and 1 single bed in a room so 2 or 3 people can share. Very decent place and nice staff. Although, no restaurant or kitchen so you have to eat out but there is a place 2 doors away.

I hear Efex transport is good. Anyone used them? Going back in a few weeks!

You are marrying into his culture so you dress like them!

If you are changing outfits, you wear your tribes first and then wear his. Most likely after the rites has been observed to signify that you are now part of them.

He can maintain his cultural outfit all through

Hahaha!!! About time this came out!

Jumia sales team- that's an apology! Salary and commission was changed every other day - no jokes!

They claim to encourage entrepreneurship - big lie!!! You are not allowed to grow within the company or on your own.

[quote author='Keji ]Hello beautiful people pls help out b4 I commit fashion blunder, my aso-oke is orange and beige orange buba and gele and ipele while my wrapper is beige with touch of orange, but instead of d beige or orange beads,shoe and purse i'm thinking of royal blue beads with touch of orange and royal blue shoe and purse. Mind not made up so pls I want ur constructive advice. Thanks I tried 2 attach pictures but it's too large[/quote]Your combination is ok, as far as I am concerned

Yvete: Okay ladies, I noticed most brides opt for simple round bouquets. Is there a reason?

Please I need a second or third eye on these cascading bouquets. I'm in the final leg of preparations and want to stand out from my B-Maids (with small round bouquets) so I'm leaning towards these teardrop style. The purple one is my style, but I fear its too L-O-U-D for a wedding while the white one is too plain with orchids, and the feathers put me off. What do you think? ...too dramatic? Thanks.

You don't have to go this dramatic. Some pictures of elegant cascading bouquets shown below

If the last day of period, like u said, she is still safe. To reassure him, get pregnancy test strips for 50naira and use. They detect hcg increase in urine within 3 to 5 days of taking in, which is only true for pregnant women.

U need to tune in to Amsale girls, brides of beverly hills, say yes to the dress etc on either TLC or Style network on thursdays. These shows will open up your mind to the world of bridal gown business.

You need patience the size of the atlantic ocean, a fashion concious mind. You also need a sizeable budget, this is relative, but a minimum of 300,000 naira is advisable for just gowns. This is minus the cost of the shop and fixtures.

Buy gowns that are 'one size fits all'. They are laced up at the back. This can fit a size 6 and a size 16. Very economical.

Do lots of research! Learn about various cuts peculiar to wedding gowns. Know the different types of gowns - empire waist, mermaid etc. Know the trends in vogue etc

Cheapest quality gowns are found in China. Buy online from Aliexpress.com. Gowns from 10,000 naira are found there at wholesale price. But shipping costs may raise it 18k. Have a mixture of low budget and high budget gowns but depending on your target customers.

The internet has made things so easy, do a research online, visit various wedding gown shops in a guise and see for yourself.

Use a standard drycleaner please! Store gowns hanging in the open with good ventilation

@ armourpure, a valentine wedding! Sweet.

Me thinks that since the trad and white are on 2 separate days, the colors should be different!!! Here's why.

Your friends buy red and champagne asoebi for traditional and you want them to buy red and champagne asoebi for white, the following day, albeit a different design. This wouldn't be fair!

My Suggestion - in keeping with the spirit of valentine, retain your champagne and red theme for the 14th. The couple and friends can still use the same color but the difference will be, one color will be dominant for one and the other color dominant for the other. For example, if the couple's dominant color is champagne, the friends and family will be dominant in red.

For your white wedding, look for another color combo then add a touch of red to it.

This way, your color theme is not cliché and boring!

@phema, nothing wrong with lace wig as long as it is properly fixed!

Your combination is ideal and yes you can use the same colors for your white. The groom can use the same combos too, ie peach top and royal blue down.

Your train's combo is good too!

I'm not really certain about the cow or chicken, because a number of factors are dependant, like are you using a caterer or cooking in the house by relatives, how many guests are you catering for, are u certain everyone likes beef. Also you mentioned trying to cut cost, a moderate cow will set you back at least 200, 000naira while a carton of chicken or turkey goes for 7500-8500naira each. 1 carton of medium sized turkey may be up to 100pieces, so do the calculations! So rather than just get beef from one cow, I suggest u give spice up the menu varieties, get fish, chicken/turkey with beef for the same price rather than just beef! (My 2cents).

@ Phema, I don't know about your village but now most elders are compromising, as long as you fulfil all the requirements of the trad wedding, I. E buy them all the wine and food they require, you can have your wedding anywhere. Otherwise, you will be caught between your location choice for a white wedding and their need for a villa trad wedding. So my take on this is to find out if they can come to a compromise. At least they can do the rites with your pictures!

Your wedding colors are cool! Deep peach equals coral. It depends on what your predominant color of the day is. It is advisable that the color you choose for your maids should match the grooms men.

Simply fix your hair into a ponytail, that is you leave hair all round, this way your hair dresser can whip it into any style. Just make sure the weavon is extra long so you do a full bun or wrap

Finally, it is so easy to cut down cost, first thing is to get a budget and adhere strictly to it! Second is to have an estimated number of guests. Items to cut cost on can be - wedding gown (rent rather than buy), food - you can reduce the menu list. Rather than have a 15list menu, you can have a 5 list that is sufficient for your number of guests. cut cost by reducing the amount of alcohol or not including it at all. Get a dj rather than live band.

Use one hall for trad and reception. Save cost by having decorators work on only one location than 2

Another way to cut cost is make it strictly by invitation but that should be written boldly on iv.

Yvete: Thought I'd be excited about wedding planning, NO! ... stressful!

That's the major reason why Wedding planners exist!!! Most people, have a 'can-do-all' spirit and so rather than pay a small price for one, will end up stressing on stuffs they have never done before and not familiar with.

So my dear, get yourself a planner who can interpret your ideas and save yourself the stress

100 yards. You can get just about any color. With teal, you may be Lucky to get the exact shade you want, otherwise a darker variant of turquoise will work fine

Politics in the church is the worst kind. So this was why Revd Tayo was transferred out of the Cathedral? My provost and Archbishop are ass-kissers of the highest order. I wonder how much they received as 'thank you' from the thief
