Only a woman that really understand that times are hard and be ready to let go her "Publicity and Show" will agreed to do both traditional and white wedding in the same day. So because Cynthia did hers on different days, you must do the same?

Some think of only what happens now and never make plans for the future. If you have the money to do it on separate days, fine. To save more money, same day is the best option.

If she disagrees, fine! Have her contribute 40% of the total budget for each wedding.

doing it d same is only possible where the bride's parents are landlords n the couple to be resides within a geographical location otherwise, not possible. Imagine where the groom has more fans in Port Harcourt and the groom lives in one interior village in Lagos just cheek the distance.

More contribution from the married folks here.

separate days mean u will cook twice, buy drinks twice, canopies n chairs twice, decoration twice, stress twice, in fact everything twice. To me, that is a waste especially now that one tomato is 100 naira n bag of rice is 18k. Bro, use ur sense before u owe gbese cos of wedding. Ur fiance should be d one suggesting this to u sef.
In my own case, I initiated d plan n hubby was glad we did it dat way.

Doing it the same day to me is the best especially now that the economy is hard. Planning to do mine same day by October this year. No wedding is the best and no one is the lowest, if you think yours is the best, tomorrow you will see another one better than yours.

There won't be enough time for people to think of food before traditional wedding commences. Most people come for reception only and not the church part of the whole thing, so most of your guest will naturally arrive when the traditional wedding has already started. Just one serving but is always better to make the food surplus. We made the food surplus, made several types of rice , Eba + 3 different soups and make sure no one goes home on empty stomach. Buy enough drinks too and you are good to go. People will go home happy and you are satisfied too. Food is served once.

buy d ones ur power n money reach oo. The weather is hard. Nobody gives award for best wedding. Who food nor reach, go eat for house.

I had my own same day two hours for each and about two and half hours for reception. While some people were still dancing in the hall I carried my wife away. No wasting of time.

My man it is the best.

If your wife's family house is far from the church venue, you will be stressing out your visitors. Do a small scale trad involving immediate family members. It will be done same day you will be paying dowry; after settling everything on the list (assuming you're from SE/SS), you guys do a small scale ceremony. Could be on thur of your wedding week.

Then you proceed for your wedding and reception: truth is, women value white wedding a lot, its her day, so anything she wants, give to her. Remember that its a once in a life time; you dont want to live with a scorned woman for the rest of your life...trust me wink

You will still cook that rice the day your inlaws comes to pay dowry and settle your family people. I believe that same day can be used as a trad, just change clothes, dance and present the wine to your husband. Then go home and prepare for wedding.

I would advice you to do everything the same day. I've never been a fan of church weddings. I and my husband just decided to do everything at once in the hall. to we yorubas, the traditional engagement is the most important.we did that in the morning with the whole decoration looking stunningly traditional. afterwards, I changed to my wedding gown and there was a brief blessing by our pastors......and then reception followed immediately. all you need is to book a big Hall and then get a good decorator with enough hands to change from traditional setting to another for you.wish I could share pictures here sef! it was sooooo beautiful. if you get carried away with the whole wedding frenzy and ignore how deep it wud eat into your pocket,you might have your self to blame afterward.....HML in advance dear!

I no be OP nah grin

. If the person can't sponsor a big wedding, the best is to have a morning mass wedding, then a little traditional gathering with both kinsmen only.

So you and your fiancee can't reach a simple agreement on how to hold your wedding(s)... you want Nairalanders to tell you what to do? Smh. ..

Anyway, I did mine on separate days..reason(s) best known to me and my husband...

Go back, discuss with your fiancee and reach an agreement that will be for the best interest of both of you!

look at you undecided

@keypad1

Well, am not married yet, but I have enough experience in this line being a DJ.

It all depends on you.

Have seen both done together in a day recently and here is how it's done.

First, you have to make sure all your guest, family members, pastors and friends are not far from the venue. The hotel bin booked shouldn't be too far from the main venue.

9am-10:30am Pastors blessing/Church service. You can talk to your pastor to speed it up, have seen one that didn't last up to an hour.

11am-1Pm Traditional/Engagement: Alaga iduros are the ones meant to blame in this aspect for taking so much time but it can be controlled if u can caution them from the start. Max, it shouldn't last up to 2hrs.

1:30pm-infinity: Wedding Reception Proper:

The 30min interval between each time is to allow couples change back into desired wears, I have handled enough as an event planner and as a DJ. So it's a choice.

FEEDING: This is a major aspect and it can be controlled and managed well. You will start with light refreshment from the engagement and serve main meal during reception. Engagement should be small chops and drinks but if you are well endowed, you can start serving from the engagement.

To know more and to engage my service as a dj, you can contact 07034487486 2BC35B63

Sama day makes sense. After the Church wedding move down to the bride's place for the traditional wedding and reception. Many are doing that in the East.

Good advice

I prefer the same day tho, but distance is the problem here white wedding in lagos Island while traditional wedding in ayobo. We plan to do the white wedding first then we will proceed to ayobo for the traditional and reception all together but my parents are against me doing the white wedding before traditional

Please i need your advice 🙏
