How Did You Manage Marriage Preparations Pressure? by bbride484(f): 2:44am On Nov 24, 2021 |
I just can't sleep. It's been like this for a while now. Had to create this account to post this. My wedding is few weeks from now and it's been very difficult for me to manage the pressure. Too many things to be done. And many, still undone. Pls, share.. How did you handle the pressure? Especially, when you both are trying to make it low key, but family members (bride's family in particular) aren't letting you, Yet, all the expenses is on you. Is like we're going to do something too big in our lives and we're too under pressure not to disappoint people. 16 Likes |

In our case, we tried managing things the way we could. We were not expecting many guest since I told my family I only expect them and their immediate family members. Only one cousin and aunt attended. Besides, we had the finance so all we had to do was make payment The only stress was my wife's pastor. The church acted as though they were god and at some point my wife almost broke down a I want willing to give in to church's manipulations. At the end, I have in the best way I could. 15 Likes 1 Share |

GboyegaD:Yours is better, your family members adhere to your instructions. We printed just 50 cards, but my mum in particular has invited everybody she knows verbally. Just few people, they keep inviting. The church on the other hand is something else. They've told us what we should buy for the church. It's very expensive. Every side is just choking. 8 Likes |

bbride484: My parents will have to avoid by my visions because it is my wedding. That was how I was raised perhaps that helped. On my wife's side, the brought a little more than was invited although the parents later apologized. As for the church, they requested nothing except trying to pry into our lives. I had to meet with the marriage committee twice which was uncalled for. They were giving unsolicited advice. I declined counseling and instead we chose a pastor we both felt was pragmatic enough for counseling and he conducted it for us virtually. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

bbride484:With the high cost of goods and services, it's not easy at all for those planning wedding but op you can't kill yourself to please anyone. If for instance, for traditional you had budgeted a given amount for soft drink, I will advise you cut it down to one-third soft drink and two-third bottle water. It will amaze you the amount of money you will save to channel to other purposes. 5 Likes 1 Share |

It is a terrible thing, had great friends who were ready to fight, when you settle this one, another one will come up, settle it another one will come up, ahn ahn. The Nigerian poor mentality is embedded inside the culture. |

How did you handle the pressure? Especially, when you both are trying to make it low key, but family members (bride's family in particular) aren't letting you, Yet, all the expenses is on you. Don’t bow to any pressure especially when you remember the bold “All expenses are on you” let them bring all their good ideas but stick to your moderate plans. No go do pass yourself because of pressure and put yourself inside debts after marriage. Marriage will come and go but if you go do pass yourself and put yourself into debts or reckless spending, only you will bear the consequences and it always affect new wedded couples. 5 Likes 1 Share |

The best way to manage the pressure is not to do pass your means, irrespective of who are those that are mounting the pressures. If anybody try to give you undue pressure, tell the person politely to bring money and if the person can't give which they will not even give, they will jejely be on their lane. Also, zero your mind from worries. 12 Likes 1 Share |
