D biggest problem is dat we do not think for ourselves as a people, we like to major on d minors. Wheneva u allow people's opinion/outlook to define ur life, u're definately gonna run into trouble. In d end, dose we try to impress dn't rili mata in grand scheme of things.

Trash! White wedding is a waste of resources, it's not biblical. People need to be wise and stop chasing shadows. Paying of the woman's bride price is what expected of every male Christian to perform even the celebration after paying the dowry is a total waste, I don't subscribe to it. Any pastor that refuses to recognise a wedding done traditionally needs to be questioned if he truly understands the bible.

Pls don't get it twisted, in white wedding u have the church solemnization and then the party which must of us call reception. As a Christian I are under obligation to go before God's presence with a priest present to join the man and the woman. The reception is your choice and whatever u spend to put a facelift or impress people is your choice too. Pls think about this, don't deprive urself of the church blessing Cos of reception . You might as well merger ur reception and traditional wedding.

What is all these noise about high cost of white wedding? In my church, wedding is as free as the air we breath. Whether you hold a reception or not and how much you spend on it(if any) is ur choice. All that is required is parental consent and presence of some witnesses.
Christianity came from the western world so also white(church) wedding. You can't accept Christianity and reject white wedding. It is taking ur marriage to the alter of God before the presence of God's people. IT IS NOT A WASTE OF TIME.
At first i thought the op was talking about high cost of bride price/dowry.

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.



You can follow my pattern. Tell them that they should carry the burden of the party while you alone pay for the bride price.
Moreover,awon lo ye ki wan se igbeyawo for omo (na dem suppose dey proud of doing marriage for their child)

Lol. In this regard, I can't have my way. My Fiance says there MUST be a white wedding. He wants it and I can't deny him his wish.

We also do NOT like the idea of asking family to pay for anything, except in cases where they may consider it a slight. Even after we said no asoebi, family still decided to do their thing. Lol.

You are right.
Make up=60k
Hairdo =10k or even more than
Gown =70k and above.

Here is what I did during my wedding, I called a friend to help me style my hair that morning because my hair is my brazillian weavon I so love my hair that I can go a year without weavon or braids.The least amount I was told by people I contacted for make up, was 50k.I spent about 45k buying the things I need which will last me for more than a year and did my make up myself.I also did not buy my gown, I rented a gown.

Even if the money is there, sometimes it's wise to cut
cost.. I don't do what people say or think; I do what is best for me.Some them were like,"it's only one day"do this do that,"get a cheap brazillian weavon" and I said nooooooo.

Some people spend big money for make up and gown and end up with a ring of 5k which won't last a month before it changes colour.

Wow gurl! You look beeyouteeful
Well, I initially planned on making myself up, but oga said NO WAY! Lol.
You gown is soo lovely. I wanted to rent, but we got a really "bad" gown from davidsbridals. I don't feel so bad cos I will bless someone with it.
Honestly, I would like to have a really simple and intimate wedding, but it won't happen. My Fiance's favorite quote these days is, " money is earned, to be spent". But, I am just too frugal. , I like to save and spend "wisely".

I'd rather spend on a good vacay, than on a ceremony that'd have people come assess, speculate and gossip about your networth.

Ok. That solves it then. In as much as the "burden" is not from outsiders.
Asking family to pay for it is not like you can't afford it. Just that if there is any luxury they want that won't fit into your budget,they better handle it.
It is well. You will only take as much as you can.

You still look very beautiful with the cost cutting

Luckily for me, I went shopping with my mum and cous so I could rely on their experience of 'this is a waste', 'that has a substitute' etc. Looking back now, I might have still cut on little stuffs ....

Most of those stuffs end up as waste and occupy space

The important that is the life afterwards which a lot of people don't care about
