And your brother is suppose to be called a man . A man that can't handle issues on his own untill a third party comes in . A real man will walk straight to his in-laws and do the needful or better still speak with his partner to be and see how things walk out before calling off the wedding. Hope he employs you as his P.A? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Just make wedding simple, you don't need so much expense if you don't want to spend so much, you don't need to impress people with food and drinks, just make it simple. For me i hate burials, especially, no need for food and drinks, in burial, celebrate people, when they are alive and living, not when they are dead, Show love to those who are alive. As for weddings, spend according to your discretion, food and drinks are not important for me, make sure, you have examined the costs of setting up the home, and things like solar panel for electricity, and examine other costs in the home, to make the home comfortable for your Wife etc. Also how to make your family independent with perhaps a business too. 1 Like |

BRATISLAVA: I believe we are looking at the result of rampant promiscuity. It goes like this: the first time someone uses someone sexually they feel a hint of guilt and shame. They push it off because their body and mind is weak and their craving is beyond their self control. They don't like what they have become and begin to despise the object of their desires. With that any narrative to confirm their internal bias/self hate is latched on. To feel good they tell themselves it's all the woman's fault. They are hoes, money grabbers, selfish, greedy. The more they beat on the female gender the more they look noble, selfless, perfect. It never occurs to them that they are hoes along with the women, for sex takes two. If there is greed, they feed it. In fact many of them will not choose a girl who doesn't wear expensive wigs, designer bags and clothes, or have salon fashioned nails. Why? Because the contrary does not look good in public or feed their ego amongst their peers. They don't see themselves as selfish, even after many of them though wishing for a woman who is perfect have in their lives cheated on a good woman. Yes, it's very toxic the way men on this site bash women and i've noticed its getting worse. Well, let them continue to create monsters out of other men who listen to them. Their daughters are going to be part of the society they create. 5 Likes 1 Share |

As a good man, you first of all meet your in-law to discuss the issue, then involve your family (Not your brother) to discuss with your inlaw if you really love the girl, then if all these failed, then you have all rights to call off the wedding. 1 Like |

Lovejossy: What as a a good woman? Shouldn't the woman curtail her parents greed and excesses? What's there to discuss? After dolling out over N300k for pre-wedding expenses and they are still demanding a big society wedding, without offering to contribute 1 kobo, and in these covid times.The girl in question must be the most beautiful girl in the universe. Very shameless family. Even Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg did not spend a fortune to marry a wife. 2 Likes |

pocohantas: A similar thing happened in my family and the wedding was cancelled. This was a cultural thing: Igbo wife and Yoruba groom. The girl's family said they will host the traditional in their hometown where her uncles will receive the bride price. Her father is late so that's how to honour him. The groom was to pay for the white wedding. The groom's family wanted everything to be done in Lagos: hiring of magnificent hall for engagement ceremony, VIP catering etc. All the bills to be picked by the bride's family as per Yoruba style. The groom refused to spend for his own white wedding and cancelled the wedding. 1 Like |

100trillion: This was exactly.my story with my ex-girlfriend.... They told me how they want the marriage to be but they refuse to contribute anything...when I try to calculate all those expenses I have to incur before I can marry this lady it is close to 4million..not that I don't have the 4mollion but for the fact that nothing is coming from their family to support or contribute to the wedding program....nobody advised me before I opted out of the scam relationship.... Now., the lady is regretting her life for not marrying me....and she is growing older day-to-day....she will be 42 this year... Some families are too self-centered for my liking 2 Likes |

I have a different opinion about this issue. Does your brother's fiance know his financial strength & still insist on elaborate wedding ceremony? You know some men live a fake life, boasting about what they don't have, making ladies believe they're rich, whereas they're not. I see nothing wrong in making the ceremony big, if I can afford it & still be comfortable. Honestly I don't think there was true love in that relationship. What I would have done is to be on d same page with my bride to be, & then go ahead with our wedding plans d way it pleases us. 1 Like |
