Hello folks. I'm planning to wed my fiancee. Considering how tight this country is I want to know if the above amount is adequate to do both traditional n white wedding. My fiancee is igbo. Same with me

Yes..it'll even be enough for honeymoon

I won't spend one 1 million on any wedding.

If I'm spending that on my woman or on her business - I'll even give more. When it comes to marriage, I'm very low-key.

I need just 5-6 people at my wedding. On a lowest key...

Pls i need a breakdown. U know how igbo list is and how expensive it will take . Again I plan doing it in ph town. Like how much can b budgeted for igba nkwu. Will the remaining amount b enough for the white? Lalasticlala.. I will need more view pls. Help me push am front page. Thanks

iyke649:

I'm nomadic and extremely liberal in the way I fall for women. If she does not accept, I move to the next one. There are many conservative families that shares my ideology.

you're a wife material , too.

Yes a million is ok .

All you need to do is to make the two ceremonies same day.Preferably,the white wedding should be done in the village of the bride or around same town.You can do this in any time of the day,if you guys are catholic better!A priest can fix you guys on any during morning massFirst mass on a Sunday is sweet because the coverage in video will show we'll dressed congregants.


After that proceed to the venue of the traditional wedding.Do your thing.Avoid buying can drinks.Make sure more than 90 are in bottles.Avoid high drinks like Heineken and Guinness,buy in little quantities if you must.

Other cheap brands are Hero,Goldberg,Star,Legend,etc

As a ph guy,where your money should be spent is on drinks.You see this small small liquors dey sell 100 naira is very very important.a carton should be around 3k or less.Like pasa bitters,Baby oku,Erujeje,etc.

Village guys dey like them well well.


I think a million naira is Ok
And during rainy season things are relatively cheap.I wish you the best.Atleast you get1 million.Some people no get to pay bride price sef.

iyke649:
Pls give me a breakdown. Thanks

Let's say my guy has 1 million this is what I will do.

First monetizing the whole thing may cost 300k to 350k including bride price.

2 cow head costs 40k.Big ones like 43k
You can add a carton of turkey like 10k-13k or close eye buy He-goat 25k to use for only bitter leaf soup and remove ogbono soup.

Bag of rice 18k
Gallon of red oil ten liters is 4000
Vegetable oil 9000
Tomatoes fresh 6000
Tin tomatoes 3000
Other ingredients including Maggie salt and the rest around 7k
Two basket of onions 2k

Soap Egusi a bucket is ok
And ogbomo half bucket is ok
Every other ingredients for soup is minor.Na the meat and fish be the look

2 bag of semo 6k
Garry or Akpu 6k

You can add salad or moimoi if you want.Salad is perfered cos w cheap for rainy season.Cabbage carrot and Irish potatoes and eggs are ok with biggest bama.Person wey know how to run am no go spend more than 5k.Secret if good salad na creaming.Blend sugar with bama and peak milk and salad go sweet.

Remove like 20k -25kfor dried and stock fish
Cameroon pepper like 500 is ok
Crawfish bucket is 1500

Renting of pots and canopies depending on how many 25k

Renting of wedding gown like 20k.Babe can even buy beautiful veil on line with crown.She can make very beautiful cheap hair with synthetic weavon.Noble super curl on gel up is great if she has a good salon person that knows how to roll with pin to make a curly - like ball.She can order a good FULLcrown on eBay that can sit perfectly on the head.Dont like crown sold on Nigeria markets.

Both of your traditional wear both of you can wear good lace for 10 yards around 35k in lagos Island market.You can chose to wear normal Senator.Aba near Ph ,you fit run an there with your wedding suit.Just buy better check material sew the suit then buy plain material for trouser wey go fit am.E no cost.Just use good tailor wey no work The color of trouser should be same as your blazers.You can get a bow tie but a normal tie is better.Abeg buy a very good tie even if it cost you close to 5k.

Better shoe for island you will buy 12k.But you can still buy two for that amount.If I'm a guy I go vesper buy correct OK sanders like 8k for traditional wedding and 5k shoe for whites.I don't like cover shoes on senator wears.Good leather palm sandals is classy!Just pedicure your legs well.

Gele and shoe around 10k
Beads like 3k
And there's provisions to rent if need be.

For drinks
250k is ok
You can buy local liquors like They sell 100 in four cartons.The reason is that this little drinks are handle and when guys begin to take it with other bottles they will get really high.Just make it available and cold.

Go for other hots like captain jack,etc

Enter idumagbo for Lagos island,buy gifts.You can go for plastic bowls,small trays,cups,etc.You fit mix am sef.
Let's work with a guest of 1000.
You can see fancy bowls or saucer or fancy grating plates(it comes with the little bowl covered with the grater as the cover)for 60 naira multiply by a thousand.make them do printing to gum the body for 3k.The lesser the guest you have in mind the cheaper you spend.If you enter idumagbo,you go see plenty things as gift wey your money reach.

Call a good photographer.Let them do the video and some pics,the rest have it on flash drive so you go use your hand they print small small.But some photo company fit charge you 100 to 150 to run everything with album.Truth is why the rush?Get a flash drive!Run it little by little.

Calculate and get back to me make we add more.

Please I'm not a man.Several posts mentioning me as a guy.Im just fortunate to have several men as blood brothers,hence I know a lot of things men know.

Sure

Just do something really small. Not more than 50 persons. Then you can manage 1million

Too much sef. There's no need for noise making. Tell your wife the same. Do it moderately and don't go into debt. Save enough and enjoy your marriage, that's the main focus.

No one has ever received an award for having two or the best wedding. The fact that you are asking this question indicates that you're being economical with funds. Don't stress yourself trying to impress, or follow the crowd. Marry lowkey and use the 1M meant for the wedding and invest in your marriage.

Do living room wedding and invest that money. No one really cares, they will come,chop and comot.


When u have enough,u can always marry her over and over again.
