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.
It’s a sacrifice
Cutting cost can sometimes mean that
you will have to make certain compromises in order to achieve your
goals. A one day affair may become very hectic and frantic if it is not
planned and managed effectively but if you make that decision from
inception and both of you agree to work together to achieve it, then
you are more likely going to be able to achieve it. Do not imagine it’s
a burden too difficult to achieve, the beginning will certainly justify
the end.
Timing is a key factor
in achieving your goals, You will definitely need a wedding day
coordinator to assist you in getting things right. It is money spent
foolishly if you want to cut cost and still want to be in charge.
Either take a wedding planner or day coordinator to assist you from
inception, you will certainly need the professional input.
Notes
- Why build castles in the sky for just
one day because of other people’s expectations? There are only two
people left behind to pick up the pieces when everyone leaves. They
either put you in credit or in debt, the option is yours.
- Your guests will not remember how
many days you had your event, but they will always remember the moments
and that is what you should aim to capture.
- It is also
important to identify why other couples who did it before failed. You
will certainly get through it as anticipated while your guests
appreciate your efforts and your wedding sets a precedence for others
to trail.
