![-]( "joyjumper") joyjumper at 16-01-2011 12:52 AM (13 years ago) (m) Not sure if any of you have actually had a wedding in Nigeria but if you have the experience, what is the cost of an Average Nigerian Church and trad wedding (Both done in one day)? My big bro is wedding in 4 months and I kinda want to prevent him from spending too much money just for a day event.
Get quotations for hall, decorations, canopy, printing, book the church reception, etc. Do not let your future mother in law do the costing either nor the planning of the wedding. She will spend you to the poor house. You need to budget if your brother is coming from abroad, etc. Do not let your future inlaws be responsible for dishing the food, they tend to hoarde the food and will not share the food to guests properly. | Posted: at 16-01-2011 12:52 AM (13 years ago) | Upcoming | |

With the ease of getting loans in Nigeria these days...I heard... it is easy for you all to come in here and talk about spending millions in wedding. I tell you say my brother na son of dangote? Like I said if a man works very hard for his money, he won't spend it lavishly.

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. Dude... that a wedding is a once in a lifetime thing doesn't mean you have to get loans to sponsor your wedding. I be think say igbo people get sense...besides i am igbo... How much did you pay your girl friend to disvirgin her since it is a once in a lifetime thing... OR how much did you pay your first girl to have sex with her since it was your first time. Wedding is for everyone and I think people should not spend so much just to impress people... Whether coming from abroad OR not. That's why soo many brothers here in the states are slowly accumulating unnecessary debts that will take them a lifetime to repay. My thoughts.

Oyibo taught us this things but English weddings re very cheap, simple and sweet. They can even use cake and wine. Some nigerians are having a serious set back today because of their wedding expenses which is senseless act. Girls are normally the cause of this coz they will like to be praised by their friends thereby pushing the man to go against his will. | Posted: at 16-01-2011 05:08 AM (13 years ago) | Upcoming | |
