Wedding is overhype in Nigeria. I don't intend to spend much money on my wedding. I am going for a court wedding. The most important thing is to have a happy marriage life. 5 Likes |

my girlfriend is on nairaland so I wont talk. What the Op mentioned is the same reason we have so many single men and women wearing engagement rings for 3 years they now become "lord of the rings". Enough said 5 Likes |

I'm glad people are saying the needful like i have always advocated. I am an African and a wedding to me is not beyond paying the dowry and getting accepted by your inlaws. The church stuff is fake! Doing same thing twice 4 Likes |

Left to me I'll have my wedding on a Thursday afternoon between 12 noon and 1pm, with only immediate family and friends not exceeding 50 at the most. Take away packs for everybody containing food and whatever. Low budget wedding. I'll rather spend the money and time on something that will generate income. I'd even prefer to give the wife the money to do business than spend it all for a ceremony that doesn't guarantee the success of the marriage. It's not about having the money or not but being pragmatic. How many expensive/celebrity weddings have crashed? Did the money spent insulate them from the normal issues of marriage? Why the needless expense. Just my two cents. 2 Likes |

In my Opinion as a christian, Wedding should be once in a life time thing, as such IF ONE IS FINANCIALLY Buoyant I see nothing in spending for it and making it classy. Well The word is " Cut your Coat according to your size". Its not every wedding that demand millions Enough said 1 Like |

I will in future set up an NGO dat will campaign aggressively for the drastic reduction in the cost of marriage, especially the items on the list. All these traditions must stop for new ones.... Man is not made for tradition, rather tradition is made for man to adjust 2 Likes |

Evina:That is because they have been enjoying the privilege that is attached to such arrangement. Setting up a new system that would place them at par with the old levitical priests;always having to benefit regardless of who suffers. Evina: You can have your way. Traditional wedding only is rather becoming the order of the day. More people are embracing the truth (which always sets people free) and damning the sentiment of "church white wedding" burden. Evina:You can follow my pattern. Tell them that they should carry the burden of the party while you alone pay for the bride price.
