cassyrooy:This is actually one of the major reasons(if not the major one) why we have a surplus of men and women of marriageable age. The economy is not smiling at all! I actually am. You? Hope you went to Church. |

Ginaz:Nice options. Just like you, I prefer the first option. Only difference is that mine will include a white wedding. So my introduction day will also double as traditional marriage day. Very low key (though I doubt that cos my father who pulls crowd will like to invite the whole of Abia State and beyond). But I'd prefer immediate families and one or two friends. Same with court marriage. Then the white wedding. I'd also prefer an intimate affair. Cos it's not a question of how much was spent on weddings. It's how well the marriage lasts. |

MissJoy29:And IMO people are not considering that one, bride price still doesn't get changed. Well my area's just dry and power outage to culminate the dryness. Service was great, *whispering* first time this year. *covers face and run out of thread* |

cassyrooy:Is it just Imo?(though I'm not from Imo State).I think it all depends on the bride's family and how greedy & materialistic they are. These set of people could come from anywhere in the country. Same here o. No light too. Just came back not too long ago. Just want to relax a bit. you have been running away from Church? |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by cassyrooy(m): 4:24pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
MissJoy29:Yeah, not just Imo, but theirs is more pronounced, when my sister did her wedding some years back, I saw the venture that was called marriage, couldn't stand it. In some areas in Ebonyi, they collect around N10,010 as bride price, that can't compare to the Imo areas. My battery is getting flatter by the second. I think so, second time since 1st January, 2017, I got up this morning and decided to go to Church. |

cassyrooy:Hmmmm...well, a lot of people say that though. It might be true. Sorry about your battery. Go get it charged then. Thank God for touching your heart to go to Church today. May He continue to do so. Say Amen. ![]() |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by cassyrooy(m): 5:03pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
MissJoy29:Yeah! its true o! Now there's light! ![]() Amen! ![]() I know those days I don't go to Church at all are almost over. One thing i don't like is going and not feeling the presence of God, and I don't like going alone. |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by MissJoy29(f): 5:07pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
cassyrooy:Wow. Enjoy. Still waiting for ours. Amen. If you don't feel the presence of God in your Church, you might need to change. You don't like going alone? How |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by cassyrooy(m): 5:55pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
MissJoy29:I've considered leaving my present Church but I don't know what's keeping me static with it. My spiritual level is low(sometimes people fear I'm an agnostic or worse, atheist). About going alone, I grew up going to Church in pairs or with other people, since I came off, I didn't fancy going alone, so I stopped unknowingly. Also going alone kind of make me agoraphobic, with a friend I enjoy fully the ambience of the worship, laugh when there's need to, not keeping a straight face all through. You get me? |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by MissJoy29(f): 6:16pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
cassyrooy:For you to have considered leaving in the first place, it means it's not giving you what your spirit yearns for. So, do the needful please. Yeah. I get you. But.... ![]() |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by cassyrooy(m): 6:36pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
MissJoy29:I'll start the search for another place. But? Please finish up! |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by MissJoy29(f): 6:38pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
cassyrooy:Good idea.... But....it's not an excuse to miss Church ![]() |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by cassyrooy(m): 6:57pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
MissJoy29:I was trying to justify missing Church. I'll see into it seriously! |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by MissJoy29(f): 7:07pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
cassyrooy:I know you were. ![]() Very good. Please do. Cheers!! ![]() |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by cassyrooy(m): 8:02pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
MissJoy29:I made a mistake o, I wasn't trying to justify missing church, but well, that's past now. We'll see midweek and then Sunday too. |
Re: The Effects Of High Cost Of Marriage In Nigeria by MissJoy29(f): 8:18pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
cassyrooy:Lol....ok. I don't understand the last sentence please |
