Nigeria wedding can take 200 million... All na based on how ready are u to waste money...

U can manage any amount u have...pple do wedding with 500k.... Na u just wan waste 1.5M

It will if you plan very well and at the same time it won’t if you have oju kokoro

Carry 400k go meet your woman's people and collect their blessings.

Use 50k go court go certify your marriage.

Collect 50k take buy suya, grilled fish, snail, hollandia yoghurt and one bad whiskey make you and Lolo take do honeymoon.

Use the remaining 1million take start another side hustle for your woman or for yourself.


Life is not hard, na una just dey stress una self unnecessarily.

Why wedding?

If you have completed your village traditional requirements, then you are married. You do not need a Jesus to bind you. Your village rights supersedes any foreign religions. If there is need for it, you can proceed with marriage registry, otherwise you are cool.

Save the 1.5m for pampers and children medical care.

Keep 2m and budget 1.4m

Do low key parlor introduction and traditional Thursday evening and do 200k for the things and 100k for good and drinks.Carry over some items for wedding reception.
Pay for good hall 200k.
50k for decoration ,200k for drinks n logistics.
500k for food and other things.
Book 4 hotel rooms for u n some of ur guests .

If nobody is happy with u,be happy with ur wife.

Dj n mc 50k

Low key

Stress and waste of little resources!

Doing wedding big or small does not determine a happy home, try to save for the family after you in the marriage

Of what use is Religion to a man that is barely surviving?

Sigh!!

Opinion is free....

Yes it is enough, but is dependent on a number of factors.
1. LOGISTICS: If you and your partner reside in the same city as your in - laws then, you wouldn't have to spend a lot on that.
Transportation is expensive now, whether by air or road. If you can cut that out, great.

2. INVITES: Can you have a small ceremony with few friends, or you have to invite your High School mates, colleagues and a thousand and one well wishers?

3. DATE: If you find a way to merge both traditional and white wedding on the same day, then that would cut cost of having 2 receptions.

Wish you the best.

Too much sef depending on the location.

In some places like Kogi state where one can find true love with just an Indomie and a soulmate if you add an egg, 1.5 million can get you three wives, and they may even come with three younger sisters to live with you, making six in total. A complete family from the first day.


Marriage no cost nah you get high taste.

Let me sit here and learn

Must u do church wedding?😐😐😐😐..... I know ur liability of a wife to-be might be de one putting de pressure on u fr all dis tins while contributing little or nothing to it😐😐😐

Africans wit de need to always copy Europeans😐😐

Yes I think

If people will eat biscuits and mineral for church wedding and panla fried fish and SKUSHI for traditional wedding.

Do only 1 wedding.

Na elephant you want cook? Abeg 1million is enough for a wedding. Na you want invite the whole Nigerians that will come and eat and leave. Just invite important people and 1million should be enough to feed them

It's too much

Combine both traditional n church on same day.

Attendance : Your family, her family, pastor plus one or two friends

That way, you are not feeding your guests twice

BEFORE NKO ABI NA QUEEN OF THE COAST YOU WAN MARRY?

u mean $1,000....

Go to court and wed. Share puff puff.

That business you want to enter won't work for you o. Don't say i did not tell you





I have never heard of any woman that wrote a Will for her Husband and Children

Is it a man's duty to die first?

It all depends on you and what you want. You can get married with just 150k

It all boils down to u and ur spouse's decision, u guys can decide to do everything same day, go church for morning then do reception and traditional wedding together with serious management it should be enough. Bearing in mind that you can not feed and please everyone that day. Am sure u should be good

Exactly my thought.

I want to buy a private jet but I don't have the money, so therefore, I settle for wetin my money fit afford.

Same with wedding and everything in life. No stress yourself. Simplify things and move on.

Ask your parents if they spent that much in their marriage?

Our lifestyle as a people is plunging us into more misery spending 1.5M on marriage alone is crazy do you own a house what investments to you have ?
