you are kidding right

for the cake or the hall

maybe they are not going to eat sha

OP said minimum. What if he plans to hold the event in his backyard, no need for hall.

Cakes are not required --- and family members can cook for you: jollof rice and beef. How much is a bag of rice ? 70k ?

^^^^well i didn't see the backyard part

but he said traditional wedding so they still need a cake

and regardless he will still buy all traditional stuff

plus depending on the amount of pple

That's true sha!

marriage ceremonies are so overblown right now! People are going broke becos they went overboard on their wedding preparations. You have to remember that life goes on after this one day and u will need money to survive everyday!

Your wedding day is just for you and ur future spouse to take ur vows of together 4ever before God, and as God is everywhere including your backyard, what better place to have it than there?

If you have a big backyard, hire some chairs/tables (canopies too in case it rains) and flowers/decorations and find someone in the family with decoration sense to fix up that yard. ask your minister or pastor if he would mind officiating it in ur backyard.

Hire a DJ for the reception

You don't need a huge 5 or 10 step wedding cake. u can get someone in the family or friend who knows how to bake, to do ur cake (that is if u must have cake). the women in your family should cook the standard food all weddings must have. Jellof rice and chicken plus salad

After the service is over, reception can happen right away.

At the end of it all you would have saved a lot of money.

p.s. I'm talking from experience

everyone wants a big wedding oo, but ppl that will come n munch jollof wid yu will not remember you n u will have your debts to pay, so be wise! Getting married is not about that one single day oo, its about the rest of your lifes and yu don't wanna be suffering after weddin day trust!

everybody was just beating around the bush.lets be specific. For me am in support of what femmi 2010 said
