parent people na big p for me, if we base it on me how many people funkybabee get but my Mama and papa haaaa na wayooooo except one pastor tell them not to celebrate it noisy!!! but if ain't so na over a million naira am going to budget, if I don't want wahala and talk cuz Osogbo can kill person with mouth eh.
Indeed!! It's like an aru (abomination) in my place that you omit some set of people.. Haaaahhh!! Your parents go pay taya plus there is this prestige given to Ada (1st daughters) in Igboland.

There is even this traditional rite that the lady must carry out. I was telling my dad, that what if we pay them money to avoid doing it? He only smiled and told me, 'money don't buy all rites.'

This is the trend: First, get a brain then learn how to use it. Then fill it with something brilliant not peas, dungs or emptiness before commenting.
Says someone that's already moaning about his wife one week after marriage.
If you had and sense or brain to make a plan, you should be on your honeymoon by now.
A miserable fellow you are.

Don't even make me remember my FIL matter. That man wanted to put us in debt. He wants this and he wants that...he is titled, he is royal, his friends eat this, they don't eat that.

I gave him a hard stare, "izzit your wedding?"
The man said I am evil with a strong mind grin.

I have my budget as 300000 naira no more. and backup with a good plan as follows:

we go to registry alone(no be marriage) with all food items parceled (no reception).

Traditional marriage follows (at most 1:30mins)just briefly in registry environs.

After which we all part our ways.

then go to church on Sunday for Thanksgiving.


Note: my wife in view is from the southwest (virtually no bride price since we believe we ain't selling our daughter)


with this, at most I spend 300k

I nd my fiance re planning for our marriage by December and we re not planning for something big our budget is just abt 300k..... This is how we plan to make it work..... We will only have guests of not more than 150 pple. The smaller the better cuz Weda u invite the whole world pple will still come and say u didn't do well.... We want a European theme wedding were we celebrate with just few friends and family. OK so after the wedding talk and processes at our place of worship, a well packaged refreshment will be given to all guests as they step out of the place of worship meaning that there won't be any reception. It could end there but we may decide to further invite fewer friends and family to party a little at my dad's place later that night or evening.... This will made made more easy Becuz my babe is a fashion designer and that means she will take care of all our clothing expect my suit, she is even going to make her own wedding gown which won't be white by the way with will be kinda strange as she deserves to wear the white as she is a true and confirmed VIRGIN.... Yeah we both re..... Thats it........ as easy as that..... Marriage is more Dan the ceremony it's life Afta the ceremony that matters.

Then I didn't have much, I managed 450k for 150 persons. Though I had money, but immediately after wedding I got a car, and far more better apartment for the family. If you have it spend it wisely if not plan ahead, to after borrowing garri from neighbor.

Sori bro, I'm kinda lost. How cld I budget 200-300k if I want to spend 500? If I budget 200-300k, wen I actually want to spend 500k, wldnt I start planning within 500k? Practically speaking, u mean if I want to buy a goat and it wld cost me 25k, by ur comment, u mean I shld plan to buy the goat for 15k? Huh, for real?

He is very right. It is only dream that u shoot very high so that even if u dont hit it, you wud be very close. As for money n expenses n budget, we usually plan llow n leave room for exigencies.

Dont wait to learn d hard way gee
