SecretSpy666: I registered on this platform to tell my story and encourage other Nigerian youths who may have humble background like me, not to give up.
I did one of the craziest wedding in human history. I can’t stop laughing now as God has changed our story
COST OF THE WEDDING IN DETAIL: Statutory marriage (court wedding) – took place in December, 2015
The court wedding was contracted at the marriage registry of Kano State, opposite Emir Sanusi’s palace, Kano municipal. Here are what I spent: 1) Wedding Certificate fee N8,000 2) Wedding ring N1,500 3) Clothes for the wedding for both of us (including sewing) N13, 600 4) Two crates of multina N5000 5) One carton of Digestive biscuit N600 6) Transport for both of us (kake napep) N200 (to and fro)
Total: N 28,900
No reception
Few invitees and no much celebrations
TRADITIONAL WEDDING: I spent about 35,000 including clothes.
HOW IT STARTED
I was posted to Kano for my NYSC in 2014 August, Batch B. I fell in love with this beautiful lady and we had similar historical background. Before I completed my NYSC, I got admission to Bayero University for my master degree programme (march, 2015). I didn’t have what it takes for marriage and there was no help from anywhere. I really wanted to dump her and focus on my study but she never let me go.
She told me she want to go for master too, we hurriedly applied for her during the late application period, she was lucky she got admission to study community health. She took me to her parents who are based in Kaduna but are from Okrika in River state. Her parents are educated and gave me good advice and encourage us to get serious with our studies. The father told me to pay N5,000 as bride price and I spent about 30,000 for a very quiet traditional wedding.
In Kano, we live in a single room (self contain) opposite Bayero University gate, going to school together. I started a part time teaching with Al-Furkaan Science Academy with 18,000 salary and also work it for her to be teaching there too for 15,000 salary. The school management did not know that we are couple. Some teachers there were even trying to talk to her…. After our coursework, as if God was waiting for us to complete the coursework, boom!!! I was called by an agro allied company based in kano for interview. I applied online for the job. I got the job and we were both happy!!!
Three months later, my wife got a job with an NGO working in communities in Kano and Jigawa. Not long after, we moved to a two bedroom flat and got a car. We had a baby boy now and building a house in Otukpo, Benue state.
THIS IS MY TESTIMONY…… Start little and God we increase it… I was so ashamed then and the people laughing at us them are now coming to begg us for money and support.
Now my wife is saying we should do a flamboyant, expensive, and gorgeous church wedding and invite all the people we invited during the low-key court and traditional marriage...and invite all friends, foes and all the people laughing at us at that time.... ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) I congratulate you bros, wish you guys a happy married life 1 Like |

jidamsel43: Yoruba ladies over to you. Can you accept this kind of wedding? If your wife to be is understandable , it is possible to achieve this but ladies nowadays do not want to settle for SURULERE ( struggling) again, they prefer OLORUNSOGO (high class). To convince a lady to accept this in Lagos , you have to be on 75 days marathon fasting . ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

elektra: I also don’t want a wedding reception. I want to go to registry and go for my honey moon.
I have noticed that weddings are only enjoyed by the visitors. The couples families always end up stressing and fighting. I’ve not heard of any wedding that family members did not fight or were unhappy about something. Somebody must complain about something! I am unwilling to spend obscene amounts of money entertaining and feeding a bunch of people, while the people most important to me are more stressed than happy.
I feel you. For my sister's wedding some years back I lost weight just because of the wahala. Naija wedding get too much wahala. |

Octopusssy: You took quite a risk but thank Jesus it ended in praise. If your foundation has the spirit of poverty embedded therein then the story would have turned out differently.
I admire your courage but I won't advice my sister to enter into such a marriage. We no come this life to suffer abeg.
Be that as it may, your story points to the immutable fact that you don't need a noisy wedding to have a successful marriage.
Sandra Ikeji, take note. Lol you're saying Sandra Ikeji take note. Do you know her story? Do you know about the Ikeji's? I'm sure you must have read from Linda how much they suffered while growing up. So why you hating now? Even the OP said his wife even suggested doing a big wedding. In conclusion, if you can do a nice flamboyant wedding, by all means do it. No use poverty kill yourself. YOLO! 4 Likes |

[b]Mostly the South South[/b]and some parts of the South West. The problem with the latter is that most of the families live for parties, so even when the bride price is cheap, you might not escape the reception.
As per the South South, most of them are so cheap that you are good to go with very little and wouldn't bother with party sef.
You do have an amazing lady. Most ladies around today live for the glamour of their weddings and wouldn't compromise the Bella Naija kind of wedding in their heads. A friend said she must have all the three weddings, particularly the church's because she wants to use it to 'honour God'. Crazy.
Big, small, medium, quiet or loud, it is most about staying married and not just getting married. Congratulations, brother. Be specific which part of south south are you talking about? |

You might have been successful because of your humility or because the "bad people" were taken unaware of your prospects in life, dont wake them up if you are not ready spiritually for them. Wait till when you have crossed the bench mark of poverty to prosperity. Once again, my humble opinion. 3 Likes |

safarigirl: which part of the South South? Is it Kalabari or Ikwerre? Maybe Efik? Which mostly South South?
Please, correct to PARTS of the South South, before someone will think they can enter Bonny Island with a miserable budget to marry wife The South South is the most diverse in Nigeria compared to other region. It has the most concentration of ethnic and sub ethnic groups. Again, I stand by my earlier assertion because if anyone is asked to list or name areas where tooth and nails are required as bride price in the South South, anyone is more likely to mention Ibibio, one or two parts of Edo State, Ikwerre and maybe not more than five other tribes or groups. And then there are about 40 distinct tribes and more than 10 ethnic groups in the South South alone. How then is it not MOST but SOME just because less than 10 ask for kidneys and livers? |

TRADITIONAL WEDDING: I spent about 35,000 including clothes.
HOW IT STARTED
I was posted to Kano for my NYSC in 2014 August, Batch B. I fell in love with this beautiful lady and we had similar historical background. Before I completed my NYSC, I got admission to Bayero University for my master degree programme (march, 2015). I didn’t have what it takes for marriage and there was no help from anywhere. I really wanted to dump her and focus on my study but she never let me go.
She told me she want to go for master too, we hurriedly applied for her during the late application period, she was lucky she got admission to study community health. She took me to her parents who are based in Kaduna but are from Okrika in River state. Her parents are educated and gave me good advice and encourage us to get serious with our studies. The father told me to pay N5,000 as bride price and I spent about 30,000 for a very quiet traditional wedding.
In Kano, we live in a single room (self contain) opposite Bayero University gate, going to school together. I started a part time teaching with Al-Furkaan Science Academy with 18,000 salary and also work it for her to be teaching there too for 15,000 salary. The school management did not know that we are couple. Some teachers there were even trying to talk to her…. After our coursework, as if God was waiting for us to complete the coursework, boom!!! I was called by an agro allied company based in kano for interview. I applied online for the job. I got the job and we were both happy!!!
Three months later, my wife got a job with an NGO working in communities in Kano and Jigawa. Not long after, we moved to a two bedroom flat and got a car. We had a baby boy now and building a house in Otukpo, Benue state.
THIS IS MY TESTIMONY…… Start little and God we increase it… I was so ashamed then and the people laughing at us them are now coming to begg us for money and support.
Now my wife is saying we should do a flamboyant, expensive, and gorgeous church wedding and invite all the people we invited during the low-key court and traditional marriage...and invite all friends, foes and all the people laughing at us at that time.... ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) Congratualations @op most especially to your wife. It is only this kind of women that has the right to be posessive and be entitled to all her husband has, not thoses hoes that comes to a home with nothing |

We4all:
The truth is, if you can afford a flamboyant wedding, by all means, do it! This is because, weddings are memorable, and are expected to take place once in a life time.
