Can't you resell some things? Like the gown. If you feel you wasted so much money. I'm sure a gown of that price would still be good enough to fetch you some money.

How much do you think you can buy a second hand gown?

You'll probably be thinking between #25k-30k while the gown's original price is #180k

Married folks,
What was that thing you later realised you wasted your money on during your wedding ceremony?

For me was Wedding IV. Spent money printing quality IV. I should have just used WhatsApp, Facebook and SMS and people would still have come. My mums friends and associates was enough crowd.

I travelled with my woman to UK to shop for wedding gown, shoe and wrist watch. Spent £2,200 on gown. £800 wristwatch I cant remember the price of the shoe now. That's for madam alone.

Madam now forced me to buy wedding suits for me and my best man.

Looking back, I would have built a bungalow with this stupid expense. Even my madam now regrets spending such money on wedding gown that she wore for 2 hours and that was it. The gown is wasting somewhere now.

I know I wasted money unnecessary. My only joy is the good wife I married.

Share the mistakes you made in expense planning wedding

Do giveaway for us na

gurujoe:
Bought 700 crates of Hero beer because I didn't want any disappointment

Because each guest got a crate or what?

linsa01:
Engagement cloths. Especially the agbada(aso oke/ofi). I have not used it for one after my wedding.

Sew it for your children (cultural days things at schools)

Rosarie:
The number of card we printed.500.
The food we cooked,buying cow ,chicken and turkey.
Three bags of rice.
Bachelor's Eve with was not important.
The traditional musician who never played.
We doing trad and white on different days.
So many unecessary expenses.
My hubby learnt the hard way cos all I said then fell on deaf ears.
His relatives kept encouraging him to plan a big wedding.after wedding it was very tough .thank God for God.
Now he does not joke with my opinion.
He is even the one advicing people to do a very small wedding and plan with the rest after marriage.

Hmm..

I dont really believe in impressing any one by spending unnecessarily. Life after marriage needs all that money people waste on ceremonies.

The problem nah say, dem no go gree say nah waste until after they've wasted it. OP, I'm sure someone, or even your mind was telling you that "don't do it", you just refused.

My wife's wedding gown
Rented It at 17k
she wore it for 2hrs

Lol
You didn't even buy beer
Mine is going to be court, me and my wife will use the money to enjoy ourselves and be uploading pictures for people to enjoy

Built2last:


My wife wont agree oooo.

she said her daughter will wear it if her daughter refuses, she will auction it.

Hahahahahaha bro, change is dynamic o, you see, i believe she didn't wear her mother wedding gown when you married her therefore, i don't think her daughter will oblige to have her wedding gown as a choice wedding gown

Thank God for wisdom both from my husband’s end and my end, nothing was a waste. It was a memorable and a blessed day. Thank God. Counting 2years in marriage now and it’s been God all the way.

Must u wear second hand thingd in this country.
If you can't afford new, rent naa

Corona season wedding is the sure bet




Only couples and both parents




Just a best man and maid




And 2 officiating ministers





Omo nothing to loss �

Legalcriminal:
You can resell that at good rate.

Sold already

No where in the Bible where it was stated that you should cook, bake cake, kill cow, wear suit and wedding gown for marriage to take place. Its something we created to scare low income people from marriage.

That's why many of us between the ages of 23-30 are still single because we don't have the money for a glamorous wedding.
We haven't "hammered" enough to hire 2 baba to sing and Basketmouth to host the wedding.

All this glamour is for prestige and pride nothing else. Especially Ladies with their "pepper dem" competition lifestyle. As if the glamour guarantees a long lasting marriage.

Dr D.K Olukoya, General overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries said when he married his wife sister Folashade, he didn't cook one grain of rice, no soft drink. People that came for the wedding brought their own food and shared amongst themselves. They didn't even bother to give him from the food.

The most important thing for God to recognise you and your woman as husband and wife is for the man to pay her bride price, both parents of the couples to come together and bless the Union and for an ordained man of God to consummate the union, that's all. Any other thing is for the media.

Brooo.... U seff see am na

WandaMaximoff:
Make up. I hated the make up. The lashes were as long as a local broom, I was just flapping my eyes like doll baby. I didn't look like me in the pictures at all. The make up aged me and I've not been able to determine which of my wedding pictures I like.

I have concluded heavy make up and eye lashes aren't for me. Full stop.

Hahahahahaha

Or like a bird that wants to fly

The design would have been outdated by now. The rate at which new designs are coming up everyday, no body will want to use a wedding gown of six months old. Trust me. The change in trend is crazy.

Can't say anything really except the cake maybe. Wasn't interested in a reception as such, no guest was given the cake. Just shared the steps to the families and kept the smallest one which I shared to friends upon return to base.

I'm sure you used the lashes to sweep off your husband's feet during honeymoon
