Despite the escalating cost of living, a Nigerian man and his wife spent less than ₦450,000 on their entire wedding ceremony, which caused a stir on social media.
On X (previously Twitter), the individual going by the handle @Drifead told his experience and explained that their choice was based on knowing their financial capabilities and concentrating on what really mattered.
The man thanked his wife in his post for supporting him and consenting to a low-key wedding.
He claimed that both of them were happy with the choice and that the wedding was small but significant.
Many Nigerians on the internet were taken aback by the man’s breakdown of how much they spent on various aspects of the wedding.
Read what he wrote below;
“God will keep blessing my wife for me. The total money my wife and I spent on our wedding didn’t even reach ₦450,000.
₦20,000 for pictures, about ₦100,000 for our outfits, ₦40,000 for one night in a hotel.
The next day, I moved in with my wife in her self-contained apartment. As a married man, I didn’t even have a bed of my own.
It was our wedding, not everyone’s wedding, so there was no need to wear ourselves out. It was about knowing our limits and understanding what we could and couldn’t afford.”
Nigerians have responded to the post in a variety of ways since it went viral.
