Does it matter, ? To me, it doesn't once there is mutual understanding between both parties and she is ready to foot the bills. But men will always think that the lady can demand or boast of it in the future,

Now you are talking Etisalat and you know the implications being a man

naijacutee:

There is nothing about egos or desperation. It is pure common sense. Basically, marriage as I know is meant to be an an institution made up of two people partners - One head, one support. If the "head" needs support in footing the wedding bills, then why not? After all, the man isn't marrying himself is he?

Dear, it is not even integrity, it means he is not MATURED yet. Because both have to be matured in all aspect of life and the man should be able to have a say FINANCIALLY (no particular measurement for finances).

Come to think of it, the guy in the advert pasted by the poster is only looking for a desperate lady to fool, he is just 28 years and desperate for a wife. If he doesn't have a job, let him be patient while he gets something substantial or manageable doing. Any lady who makes this mistake will leave her life in regrets cos after the wedding she continues with the task!

One thing we have to realise is that nobody owes us anything. Etisalat is in business to make a profit - As long as they provide the services you pay for (i.e the line you paid for works), then they are not obligated to fine tune their promos to suit your taste. Any promo they carry out is their business, and if it is real - an added bonus. No one owes you anything you didn't pay for! If you had shares with them, or paid "Promo fees", then you will have a right to get annoyed - If not, pull your thumb out of your mouth and enjoy the good service they already provide.

Thread reminds me of my cousin's wedding in 2006.

Her dad (my mum's brother) is extremely wealthy and doesn't spare expenses when it comes to his kids. Before the wedding I hadn't seen my cousin since Florida over 15 years ago and had no idea what she had blossomed into. I wasn't sure of her age but my mum said she is over 30. Now, this girl looks like a goddess - a lookalike but prettier version of Modupe Ozolua.
When she came home for the wedding it was so sad. Her husband had no job and his family were not that well off. During the ceremony, my uncle gave them a house in Park View, a brand new Honda Civic, all expense paid trips to the Carribean, South Africa and Obudu. . . as wedding gifts. From the groom's side, his family sang a song at the wedding. Its the thought that counts abi?
The disparity was embarrassingly glaring. So sad that when we were proceeding from the Church to the reception, as we were driving out, we saw the groom's parents hailing okadas outside.
My mum blamed my cousin though. She said even if the groom was from a poor home, she should have catered for their cars, clothes and stuff so as not to embarrass them that way at the wedding.

I haven't heard anything bad about them (the couple) yet though.

SEE ALL THESE FUNNY WOMEN WHO WANT TO EAT THEIR CAKE AND HAVE IT. THEY WANT EQUALITY WITH MEN BUT WHEN MONEY IS INVOLVED, "A MAN SHOULD BE A MAN" NAWA FOR U WOMEN, EITHER TAKE UR RIGHTFUL POSITION OR GO ALL OUT TO COMPETE WITH MEN.

U CANT EAT UR CAKE AND HAVE IT. MEANWHILE I'D NEVER PROPOSE IF I COULDNT AFFORD A PROPER WEDDING. WIVES SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING UNLESS SHE WANTS TO, THIS IS THE WAY IT SHULD BE.
