So, Im plannning my wedding for March 2017 and finding it quite difficult to find a Nigerian discussion forum where brides to be can liase with each other and discuss wedding plans!
So I decided to open this wedding planning thread so we can do just that!
I guess we can start by introducing ourselves and discussing what stage we are in our wedding plans, asking quations and hopefully getting answers from experts or fellow to be brides!!!!
I'll start....
Brief Introduction
My boo proposed to me on the 16th of July 2016 and we almost immediately stated making wedding plans. Personally, I have always been a planner and prior ro the proposal, drawn up an estimated budget for my wedding. I guess what Im finding is reality is very different from imagination..lol.
As for our introduction, it was done in absentia - his people went to see mine about a month and half after the proposal and it all went swimmingly well. it was a small and intimate affair. I got sent pictures which made me shed a tear or two as it all seemed like its actuially happening!!!!!!!
Wedding Planner
So, as it willbe almost impossible to organise my wedding from the UK, We decided it was only wise to get an event planner to sort out the day for us. I managed to contact a few in Lagos and the prices I was quoted ......I was speechless at times. Also, our wedding will be in Benin city, all the good wedding planners in Lagos will charge out of service area costs so the costs keep rising. I managed to find a wedding planner with a reasonable invoice though but my fiance and I later decided to go with one of his friends who has organised weddings in the past, has very good taste in style and knows Benin quite well so we will stick with her and see and how she does.
I'll also keep in touch with the event planner as they can both work together to hopefully bring my dreams into reality on my big day?
Venue
this has been up in the air and been the singular most tricky issue about this wedding.
For the traditional, that will be in my fathers house as per tradition. For the Church wedding, we are looking for an anglican church in benin that will wed us. We managed to find one, but its been over a month of trying to get someone to contact us and fix a date. Yes, we know the wedding will happen in March, but it has to be between the 1st and 3rd week in March as we have other commintements before and after then.
We just need someone to tell us, OK, we will happily wed you on the 4th, 11th or 18th of March. then we can plan everything else around that time.
The reception venue will again depend on the church venue. We have been advised to have the reception close to the church so attendees can easily commute to the venue. With this in mind, I have had a look at some venues I'd love to have out reception in...Protea Hotel comes up top. I called them up and found them to be quite affordable. However, their venue will only sit 180 guest so that was immediately struck off the lost as we are looing at at least 300 guests.
Alos considered Best Western hotel and the Marquee place. However, these hotels are all based in G.R.A and the church we are in contact with is in Ugbovwo..and I hear its quite a distance between the two venues. I have searched online fruitelessly for nice reception venues in Ugbovwo, if anyone knows of any, please contact me.
Also, my dad has offered a vast peiece of land ghe owns in benin for the wedding reception, he says we could put up a marquee....I was very happy with this idea until I lookied up marquee prices, we might as well get a reception venue. It'll actually cost ius more to hire tyhe marquee, set up and hire charis, tables etc. No need.
I'll stop here for now, lets hear the other brides of 2017!

How old are you bro? I used to feel the same way to when I was much younger. I also always believed that with men, getting married is not a problem. It gets to an age that you're no longer meeting people. Not that you wouldn't meet some people, but you simply want to marry right, not just marry anyone that's available.

I met this beauty damsel in a child dedication in my home town in Anambra State on 2nd of January 2016.
We started talking until we fell in love and i decided to marry her. Though am still awaiting for her parents consent before i fix the date for formal introduction.
She had directed me to different pastors for this purpose and i had done my own part.
The issue now is that she told me that she had done an operation for lumb in her breast which did not go down well with my mum. My mum has said "i will not marry her"
The major issue i solicite for an advice is that i took her to a doctor who told me she has a kidney issue.
We really love ourselves and i want to marry her not just because she is still a virgin but she is a good girl.is there anything that can be done because she is just 21.
I need an advice please ignore my written English.
Thanks

Try think about these questions and give answer where necessary
Are you sure you can carry the burden you are about to bring upon yourself?
Are u really sure that is not because she is a virgin, this love grip you like this?
would you have loved her like this if she is a non-virgin?
will the love be the same in the marriage after the virginity have been lost at the wedding night?
will you still love her, cherish her and care for her when the crisis comes up in the marriage?
have you prayed and get convinced about it that she is your "Eve" created by God for you, cos if she is not your wife, you might end up regreting your decision in the marriage.
will you brag over her later that if not becos of you that married her, no one would have married her in her predicament?
Have you sat down with your mum to hear her reason for not settling down with her?

All these I would want you to sit down, think well and digest well, then am sure the decision you would go for would drop in your heart

Please note that if she is truly your destined wife, no challenge would be too much for both of you to handle together, cos God would always make a way where there seems to be no way for His children he directed
