Spend Less For Your Wedding

The process of planning the perfect wedding is also a time when you have to consider certain issues which are significant to the total success of your big day. Remember, money matter is serious matter especially when you have a limited budget.

Many couples take these for granted and become sentimental and unrealistic in their pursuit of their wedding aspirations. In every culture, wedding ceremonies take its place as a norm that joins the man and woman together as one. In Nigeria, the ceremonies are in various segments which differs from tribe to tribe and the costs can also mount up too.

Western influence

The traditional marriage takes its place as an important ceremony in the Nigerian wedding ritual. It was the only rite which was observed and acknowledged by elders and family members to join a couple together before the western way of marriage became very popular here.

Today prospective couples are under immerse pressure from the wedding industry façade packed with all the glitz, blings and glamour for brides and grooms who want a truly unforgettable wedding experience.

While the affluent couples live the dream, especially if their parents are picking up the bills, the unrealistic copycats incur unnecessary debt afterwards and spend the first few years of their marriage paying off debt.

One day affair

The traditional and religious weddings are both imperative in sustaining a couple’s beliefs and values. However, finding a method which works for you and your budget without over stretching your selves or putting family members under pressure to contribute towards your excesses is the key to getting the balance right. More couples are choosing to have their traditional and wedding ceremonies on the same day, either to cut cost or perhaps to get it over and done with while they move on to start their beautiful lives together.

One day event is definitely a great money saving option considering the high cost of venues, catering, drinks, venue décor and photography. So why spend twice when you can spend once and save the rest for the raining day.

The traditional marriage comes with all its hullabaloos. Great if you can afford to entertain your guests throughout the whole experience but the alternative is to streamline the ceremony and stage a two hours event at the venue you hired on the wedding day or at your house, witnessed by your nearest and dearest only on the morning of your wedding before the other ceremony. This is how to spend wisely! Remember, people only show they care when things are rosy but care less during difficult moments. Don't impress people and depress yourselves, the real marriage begins after the wedding ceremony.
