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:

In western countries,you don't need up to that. Just walk up to a priest with rings and tell him you're you guys are getting married that's all.

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
