Ok. You wouldn't spend that much on a first child for the first 2 years of birth, so why spend it in one day.

UR PAYING 4 A LIFETIME TIL DEATH DO YU PART , YU THING HUMAN HEAD IS CHEAP  Tongue Tongue
  No you are not paying for a lifetime. You are paying for recognition to the world that you are getting married to that woman. The real paying for a lifetime comes after the wedding. Post-wedding expenses is all that matters dear.

ur wrong, coz shes ur missing rib so yu need to pay high to have it back.
  Hahaha. Missing rib? Says who? Abegooooo! Stop with the whole Cinderella Syndrome. So my brothers rib wasn't complete when he was born eh!

Below is a summary of how much my own brother spent in Nigeria on December 5, 2010 for both traditional and white wedding.  500 guests in attendance.  You can spend less if you desire.

chair and canopy___________  80,000   

food______________________    400,000

drink_____________________     300,000

musician and mc____________ 160,000   

costume__________________  550,000   

hall rent__________________  95,000   

transportation______________ 100,000   

thanksgiving_______________ 80,000   

gift to share________________130,000   

photographer_______________60,000   

video coverage_____________25,000   

printing invitation card & program_______ 105,000   

bride price________________igbo traditional 260,000   

contingency________________120,000   

Asheby ------------------- 70,000   

Rings - 75,000   

Travelling back from abroad ----  240,0000   

Honeymoon - 300,000

TOTAL___________________    3,150,000

500 guests N3.15 million.


Ok let's see. With 250 guests, it'll be 1,575,000 minus traveling back to abroad and Honeymoon, which will come after the wedding, minus renting a place for reception, that right there is less than a million naira. Our own personal expenses for flight to Nigeria and honeymoon is excluded from our budget. Budget is strictly for that day and that day only, not pre or post wedding activities.

Let me make this very clear to you. People spending millions of Naira for wedding does so because they chose to NOT that they have to. You have people who have the money and likes to spend extravagantly... People who have the money and are very conservative and only spend wisely... people who do not have the money and still spend all they have even owe people... and lastly people whom do not have the money and do not spend much.  Its up to you to know what category you fall under.

I am trying to get him to not spend more than #600,000.00 as there would be no need to rent a place for reception since the Trad will be held at the brides compound immediately after the church wedding. Do you think 600,000 will do it?
THATS NOT ENOUGH IF HE LOVES HER. THERE IS NO FIXED AMOUNT ON THIS, BUDGET MORE, IF YOU USE LESS THEN KEEP THE CHANGE. BUT IF YOU BUDGET LESS AND RUN OUT OF THINGS, THE SHAME WILL BE ON YOU AND YOUR BROTHER MOSTLY HIM.
What is it with all this whole if you love your wife spend more. When has how much being spent in wedding become a way of showing how much one loves the wife. I tell you what... If a man loves the wife, he should spend reasonably and save the money for the future. She will appreciate it more. And what is this about shame? So long as everyone eats and drinks, what else is there to worry about.
YOU ASKED FOR THE ADVICE RIGHT, ANYWAY AM TALKING WITH THE EXPERIENCE. IF YOU'RE NOT READY IN THE TOWN, YOU MIGHT AS WELL DO IT AT YOUR HOME VILLAGE AND SPEND 10,000 TO 20,000 NAIRA AND PEOPLE WOULDNT MIND AT ALL. WE'RE TALKING ONCE IN A LIFE TIME HERE.
