Some people literayly go bankrupt trying above their means to organize a wedding occassion to impress their peers, friends and perhaps future in-laws, in my experience, I have seen people organize weddings with budgets close to N30M - N50M which I find very ridiculous, like just spend that much energy on the marriage itself. Any which way, I am here to give you sensible advice on how you can organize your full wedding ceremony with just N50,000 and even have a change - include all the ring and so on, see the budget below:
A set of one carat diamond wedding rings from Jumia (Black Friday Price): N4000 Cost of hire of fairly used Aba made wedding gown: N3500 White high heels from Dealdey: N3500 Five yards of black material for black suit at N700 per yard: N3000 Tailor Workmanship: N3000 Starched white shirt from Yaba Market: N1000 Men shoes from Ikeja Along: N2500 Groom old tie: N0 12 inches of Remi Brazilian Hair: N7000 Ozone Relaxer: N150 Bride Accessories (Old ones): N0 Hairdresser charges: N1700 Groom Haircut: N300 Best Man- Freestyle with old suit: N0 Freshly plucked hibiscus flowers as bride bouquet: N0 Bridesmaid dresses for a train of three- freestyle (On Your Own): N0 Bridal Makeup DIY: N0 Bridal train makeup DIY: N0 Cost of bulk sms as wedding invites (100 sms for 100 guests): N300 Car hire from relative or friend: N0 Car Decoration(Balloons & ribbons): N500 Fuel: N3000 Wedding Venue (Church in Lagos): N0 Wedding Photography (A friend or relative iPhone): N0 Photogrid app for editing/pasting Bella Naija logo on photos: N0 Reception Venue (Open field Somewhere at Ota): N0 Cost of hire of 20 white plastic chairs: N2000 Reception MC (Bride or groom relative): N0 Music from relatives phone (China phone preferably): N0 London used mobile phone speaker from computer village: N2000 Wedding Cake from Cakes&Cream: N3500 Short bread from Balogun Market (Feeding of the couple): N300 Fresh agege Bread as surplus for feeding of the couple (If groom is still hungry): N100 Five Alive juice (Feeding of the couple): N350 A crate of 35cl coke (For the few long throat wedding guests who still followed to Ota): N1500 Freshly made zobo as wedding guests wine: N1000 Disposable cups to stand in as glasses: N500 One packet of cabin for small chops: N700 5 wraps of Onitsha chinchin mixed together for small chops: N500 Big pack of gala diced in circles as small chops: N500 Twenty five packs of locally prepared jollof rice from Iya Basira: N2500 Bic biros as wedding souvenir: N500 Miscellaneous: N500 Balance: N50

I can't stop laughing for this wedding planner, well all fingers are not equal,it still make sense a little bit as its more better to do it this way than nothing.

I could smell poverty in this list...
End time wedding ..!
Nothing like poverty, its basic, ok Say you have 100K you want to use, you can blow the list higher and upgrade 30cl coke to 50cl coke and so on, you can use it as a start till you exhaust whatever budget you wish to use
