Typi baby...Happy New Yr to u o... well u sound stingy to me on this one dear, but i think #600,000 not enough, u will ve to find some1 who will manage the servings not some1 who look at face b4 feeding u. but 600,000 will not do. i mean u don't hve to do wedding right away
Nah hun.. it's not about being stingy... it all depends on planning it well. Most weddings cost alot of money because they hire a wedding planner. Wedding planners keep more than half of what you think you're spending for your wedding. Why hire a wedding planner when the family can get together and plan their wedding to be very successful and besides we do not have to impress anyone as our inlaws have already given their daughters hand on the wine carrying which i heard people thought was a trad wedding.

I am of the opinion if there was a wedding planner, I think my brother's wedding may have been cheaper.  He actually paid for the girl's grand parents outfits as well, etc.

@poster..it depends,for some the 600,000 u mention maybe too much,
while some it will be ok.but, it can also be a "chicken change" to some as well.
so watch your pocket while spending aight!!

YOU ROCK Wink Wink Cool
Now he rocks? Initially 600K will be laughed at. Now watching the pocket seem like a great thing to do Eh! make up your mind hun.
but what i said is what i mean weddings in nigeria arew not cheap
HOW?
Initially, you insinuated that a 600K naira wedding will be laughed @, Now you seem to agree with him that it is very well to do.


he gave three options  and i agree with his comments cos dey r always very reasonable comments your brother just has to b ready in other not to be embarrassed its different from marrying abroad and i didnt insinuate
Embarrassed??? How do you mean? So wedding is now to impress people?
take thier d

when he needs  to buy something for d wedding and he doesnt have money anymore or dey call for the bride and groom to do money donation on d wedding day in front of all d guest and he didnt have money or people came and d food was not enuf for all d guest d list goes on its embarassing , yes nigerian weddings u have to impress d guest and convince d parents dat u r capable of taking care of thier daughter  Undecided if not dey can have doubts and dats not good and u have to complete all the necessary requirements and traditional process before u r capable of being given thier daughter Cool
FYI... this is not some Lagos wedding... this wedding is going to be done in the East. The wine carrying has already been done back in August last year for way less than that amount and from what I heard it was like a trad wedding and everyone was very satisfied. He is expecting triplets a month after the wedding and come on why spend millions of dollars just for a second and third wedding in a day.

yeah you r right when u say y spend so much money but its nigeria dats d way it is let him just take enough money just for security reasons and a mistake i made in my wedding i had only 1000 notes so i spend without end let him change his money in twenty naira notes for spraying and other extravagance and maybe also 1 dollar notes for show off but its not cheap Cool
I agree with this part. But seriously, I think 600K will do a very descent wedding.

it depends, its possible its enough but just to be on a safer side let him take enough money with him. i have to go extend my congratulations on thier triplets. Cool

People steal the one dollar notes that you use in spraying. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Grin Grin
I will suggest that you get trustworthy people to pick up your money and they should give it to you before you leave the reception.

People should not be fast in condenming a man of God. Confirm first. All these may be rumour. I wan't there sha, but i know Jesus said he came for the poor that they may have life abundantly. Worship should be price tagged.
You are a woman of God.  You are among the royal priesthood.  When we do wrong, we are to admonish one another.  A numbe of people have stepped up to confirm that they paid to enter.

I think you meant that worship should not be price tagged. Grin Grin

I could not defend God if my life depended on it.  My favorite position is sitting down while He defends me.  After the victory, I like dancing with Him.  Grin Cheesy

Hahahaha point taken, but the Bible does say that we should be able to give a good defense of our faith. 1 Peter 3:15 says, 'But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:"

In other versions it says always be ready to give an apologia of your faith, but both mean the same thing. Jesus tells us that we should ALWAYS be ready to give a well reasoned defense of our faith, that's what an apologia is. This is where Christian apologetics comes from.

I can give good reasons for my faith, but I am not going to defend God because God can defend Himself.  I like when God fights for me while I sit on his right hand and cheer Him on.  I like blessing Him while He defends me.  I like Praising Him while He defends Me.  I like Him showing me things that are bigger than me that He is working out for me.

@ Chik001, Smiley sloppy? moi?...joking.................I'll say, lets leave that issue aside as it was from one of the defenders of the faith. He was trying to use the verses to define that the 1st day means Sunday............So I was asking what about the 8th day. If am wrong, after you read his quotes, then ask me again........I will answer the rest of your questions after posting his quote

it is fake it was started by Pope Leo in 321 BC,he made it an official religion after they killed Peter,Paul,James,do your research as He answered and said unto them,Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of NONE EFFECT through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye Mk 7:6-13. Some questions for my jesus freaks, Can you proove to me where the bible told you to go to church on Sunday,where did the bible told you to celebrate Xmas on 25th, where it told you to Celebrate Easter,if you can answer these questions then you win.
And Islam is fake too,you people worship the crescent moon,black stone which you call kabala,mind you I dont battle behind computers,so you can rant all you want.


 you punk, where was your direct proof after all
@gangstar kid:
I will deal with one of your raised question which is worshiping on Sunday.  The Bible does not condemn anybody for worshiping on Sunday and below are examples.  The first day of the week is considered Sunday according to the Jewish calendar?  Take a look at how God feels about people worshiping Him on that first day.  He considers that Day as Holy as well.  The Bible also does not want us to judge people based on their holy days, moons, sabbath days. 

Below are the biblical quotations that you may want to look into to help you in understanding that judgments on the day of worship is not necessary because the old testament confirms it, the new testament confirms it as well.


Leviticus 23:7 (Whole Chapter)
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Leviticus 23:35 (Whole Chapter)
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Leviticus 23:36 (Whole Chapter)
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.

Numbers 28:18 (Whole Chapter)
In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:

Colossians 2:16 (Whole Chapter)
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:


@DEMONCRAZY - it is obvious that you do not understand what is meant by the eight day.  It is specific to a certain month that a certain ceremony is to be carried out.

e.g.  A boy is to circumcized on the 8th day.
