Dear LIB readers: Should I forget this man or pay for the wedding?

From a female LIB reader
I have dated my fiance for 5years now. Whenever I ask him about our marriage plans, he keeps telling me he doesn't have enough money for the wedding. This guy earns 170k monthly while I earn 100k. I told him I have some cash I made from a supply, can't we use it for the wedding? He said its okay by him. His mother called me from Benin last week and said the son told him about our marriage arrangement, that she has mapped out the wedding expenses. To my greatest surprise she gave me an amount I can't really explain. I have 3milion on me while she said everything will cost 4million both for the traditional and white wedding. my wedding gown is not included, his suit is not included. Should I forget this man and move on with my life or release all the money I have for the wedding? I am troubled at the moment. I am so confused. Please advise

Don't you dare! Its obvious they are using you!

Wait o! Abeg i don't understand. his mother called to give cost of the wedding. How can she call to give you cost of the wedding? As in, I'm still confused. Are you also paying your bride price? HEHEHEHE!!!! Wonders will indeed never end. I can understand if you and your fiancé have an agreement to spend your money on the wedding (which by the way has its own implications) but for his mum to call and give you cost *bbm confused smiley* so the whole world knows you are paying for your wedding na. My dear, read the writing on the wall.

Didiola said...

If a man loves you he will do whatever he can to be with you. He does not even want to give you a wedding but cannot say it out. I am sure there are other clear signs that shows he does not not want to marry you but you refuse to acknowledge them. I cannot tell you what to do but my guess is you already know... good luck.

Seriously, d guy is not saying i have xxx naira, let me contribute it to the wedding and you just want to go ahead and foot the whole thing.

Its not by force to marry oh, even if age is catching up with you. Its just as if you are basically paying the guy to marry you. Who is paying bride price, u or him

Think twice my dear. By the time u use 4M for wedding that is just a day, how do u survive d rest of your marriage. If the man loves u enough, he should sort 4 money to do the right thing and not d other way round. If u don't watch your steps @ this stage, b ready to take responsibilties for d rest of your life in dat marriage. Well, follow your heart pls

Na wa for his mother,so she also expects u to pay for ur wedding,what about her son?is she going to contribute too?my dear,I don't tink u shld marry dis man.maybe he has told his mum u re his MAGA.a woman can contribute a little but to expect u to pay for everytin??haaa,waka now.com ooooooo.

Anonymous said...

My dear, You cant pay for your own wedding; where is the dignity? If he can't save to have you as his wife then he is not worth spending a lifetime with. If you make the mistake of paying; you will discover that you will end up being the head of the home. You will pay for rent, school fees, feeding etc.
Trust me, that is what I am suffering now. I didn't pay for my wedding but I was always quick to offer financial assistance, we have been married for 7 years and now my husband sees it as my
responsibility to cater for the home without no iota of shame.
Don't be deceived-don't think you cant find someone better; you shall and you will.

Anonymous said...

My dear sister pls know that wateva u start with is what you're going to continue doing even after marriage its quite different if he was not employed and you decide to assist but In your case he works and clearly doesn't spend hismoney(salay) on you so ask yourself if you're ready to take that responsibility.if you are then your mother in-law has no right to cost your wedding expenses ,politely find a way to tell her you can handle it.may God guide you

Are you still asking if you should leave him or not? Isn't it obvious that he doesn't love you and don't want you as a wife? My dear couple plan wedding together in terms of expenses but this one na to chase you o, forget him and move on with your life, he's definitely not the right man for you. My opinion though.

hmmm, this get as e be, check very well my dear if this guy has a hidden agenda, if him and his family cannot contribute any part to your wedding,then i think u shd move on with ur life. i dont think its right for you to empty all your savings for the wedding. God forbid but tomorrow if anying happens in the marriage, him and his pple will quickly remind you that their son did not marry you, u were the one who married him, be careful and shine ur eyes, tell him dt if he is willing to move the relashionship to the next level, that you will move on with ur life,,, simple. don't sound desperate to foot the bills of ur wedding. just my own piece of advise for u

why the heck would you offer to pay for the wedding with all your hard earned money? Are you so desperate to get married? The wedding day is not the end of it you know...what if you need money for other important things.
Are you sure this guy can't sense your desperation hence his procrastinating?
Young woman, where is your family? you must have people who can advise you properly.
you must NEVER start a marriage on the wrong foundation.
Even his mum has given you the bill!! wow!! utter nonsense!! in other words, you will pay his 'groom price'!!
I pray God grants you the wisdom and understanding to deal with this situation. wait on God with all your heart and mind...the one that is destined for you will come at the appointed time.

He earns higher than you and even if you should contribute for the wedding it should be a 70:30 thing with 70% coming from the man. If you go ahead and give them all your money he might as well wake up one morning and tell you stories and you will loose either way. please allow him make the move yours is just to support, if he is not ready to make the commitment pls move on there are better days ahead.

Anonymous said...

Child, it seems you're the one with the issues. Why does your wedding have to be so expensive? Go to court get married officially. Put whatever you have dedicated for the wedding into a separate account from both you and him and when the weddings expenses matches what you have in the savings account, then plan a wedding party for friends and family to attend. Btw, if he is making more than you, what is he using his money for? Maybe marriage shouldn't be high on your priority list with this man, if he can't save up money. Marriage might not only be the financial fight you might have, baby food fight and baby tuition fight will come up too. Im not saying fashy or whatever you call it, but something is not right somewhere.

Ld said...

My dear, are you that desperate to be married that you'll pay for the wedding even when your man earns more than you do? You better think twice so you don't end up regreting. And what's with your mother-in-law? I think you should just forget this man and move on with your life. If you marry him, I guarantee you'll be the one paying the household expenses and later, your chidren's fees. (BTW, what's he doing with what he earns?) If you really really feel he's the one you want, then you guys should just have a 'small' affair (but which he MUST contribute something towards). Above all, pray really hard before you say I DO!

Collins said...

Thank you for bringing this up here cos i am very sute that there are people who are suffering same in their relationships today and who don't have that courage to speak out.
I will advice that you quit the relationship. The fact is that this man is not really interested but he can't come out straight to tell u. I am a man and i won't want to get married to my woman leaving the chunk of expenses for her to bear. I do not know if you have done the traditional marriage or not. If u bring money out to foot the bill for ur trad too, it will mean that you are marrying yourself and traditionally, that's not healthy. Try to consult with ur family tooo cos it sounds like you don't carry them along in this....
Wish u the best of luck. GBU

I'm assuming you're in rush to have kids:

Please and please have mercy on the kids and don't bring them to suffer!

I think, you guys should spend the "free time" you have working out a financial plan that will fund the expenses that come with kids (business ideas, savings plans etc).

Once the kids come in, you'll hardly have time to wipe your own ass in the first few years. And oh yeah, the bills roll in quickly.

Throughout the marriage be prepared to foot the bills, rent, school fees for the kids, hospital bills, sending money to his mom. U cannot complain cos u proposed to him n married him. He will still treat u shabbily cos u forced him into marriage. After 5 years, u shd know both he n his mom have plans for your 3m. Maybe they want to relocate abroad. www.drnsmusings.wordpress.com

Hallos............Please do yourself a favour and forget him. It will be heart breaking but trust me, you are better off. You will always resent him if you pay for your own wedding. If a man loves you enough, he will find a way. Secondly, value yourself enough to cost something. Whatever a man gets for ''FREE'', he will never appreciate it. Thirdly, NEVER, EVER.....tell a man you are not married to, what your savings are!. Love with your head and not your heart.

Leave the shameless idiot!!!! It is a very obvious that he is not a serious person at all nor is his family. Getting married or rather, having a wedding does not mean spending all the money in the world especially when the money is not even there. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with a bride-to-be assisting the groom-to-be; but that is the word "assisting". In this case, your so called fiance is leaving the whole wedding expenses for you to bear and even his shameless mother knowing you are the one footing the bill is also adding stupid expenses to it. This guy never planned to get married to you so the earlier you walk away, the better for you because, if you go through with it, you would only be setting yourself up for the rest of your days with him. I can bet you that if you do get married to him, you would be supporting him for as long as the marriage lasts.

Why should the mother be giving you expenses? Are they both fraudsters? If it's her son's money will she call such a large amount? Is it a society wedding? BIG THIEVES!!! The guy has a wife somewhere and he is building a house there.

Anonymous said...

Ehn! don't try it... babe be wise. Please forget him, I know its not easy, but the sooner you leave the better, if you pay for the wedding, get ready to pay all the bills for the rest of your marital life!

Ask youself this question;"should i spend 3m on a wedding or investments"? #Foodforthought. i think u know the answer.

Anonymous said...

She is very greedy. She knows you're paying for the wedding yet she is giving you a bill even her son cannot afford. Please leave that family. They don't like you. A real man will never let his bride pay for the wedding. If he can't afford it, he'll have a small one instead. But since they are both determined to have an expensive wedding even if they don't have money, then they're just trying to rip you off. My dear just leave him and be patient, your Mr Right will soon come.

I have never commented on the blog before, but seeing this post, I felt the need to say something.

I understand how you feel, dating a man for 5 years and it seems the only thing stopping you from getting married to him is money to fund the wedding. You have some kiney which can fund the wedding, do why not use it, right?

It is not as easy as the above analogy suggests. When you begin your marriage by funding your wedding, you have already set a tone for you marriage as the breadwinner. This man you are dating earns more than you. Where are his savings? Did he not lay down plans on how to fund us own wedding?

His mother calculated the cost of both traditional and white wedding and told you it is 4 million. Is she your wedding planner? Does she intend to cater for any part of the ceremonies? she is also aware that you intend to fund it yourself. Did she not have any objections! Which mother in law to be will fold her hands and watch you singlehandledly sponsor her son's wedding?? Haba there is something called shame.

It also makes you look desperate.
Any man how cannot fund his wedding to a great degree has no business getting married. Will you pay fr your maternity as well? Soon you will pay the house rent. If he has nit invested his money into something very important like land or housing for long term income, then you need to question his sense of responsibility.

You should sit him down and have a heart to heart talk. Postpone your wedding till he s financially capable, if not, pllease move on. There are more financial responsibilities after the wedding.
And the issue does seem deeper than money, I sense a passivity on his part, which is not a good sign. A man hi is serious and wants to marry, does all he can to make it happen. He is the one who finds a wife and finds a good thing, not the other way round, he is the one who needs a helpmate.

Unknown said...

Why can't the wedding be a low profile one. Kindly plan your wedding. People who earn 17,000 Naira a month still get married without breaking the bank and perhaps, a man that loves you would love the idea of settling down with you and would achieve that regardless of his earnings to make that a reality.

To be very sincerely with u,money for the marriage is not his problem.is just that maybe he probably doesnt see u as his wife to be anymore.it takes nothin to get a wedding done with his salarym

Marriage 2 a man who dosn't see d importance is no marriage. Wat wud such a man b spending his salary on if he can't afford a marriage @ d level of his salary? If u push tru,he wud bcom a liability nd u'll keep on spending on him cos u contracted d marriage. Just look b4 u leap ma dear.

How can you pay for your wedding? This is the beginning of the end of this marriage. The man is dodging his responsibility. How can the man's mother send you a bill for the wedding and you want to pay for it? You are like the innocent lamb being sent to the slaughterhouse. Do NOT bring out the money (N3 million ) for the wedding. When the wedding is over and the money spent, what will you do? The wedding is just a small part of the marriage.

Any man that would allow a woman to bring out that kind of money for a marriage is NOT a man but a mama's boy. Please open your eyes well well o.

Save your money, I think its unwise to use all your hard earned savings for a wedding ceremony. If you don't have the money and both of you are so in love then go and do a court wedding and call it a day. You can always have a little party for family and friends. P.s if you pay for the wedding its not a good move, almost feels desperate. If he really wants to marry you he should be put down some resources aswell. Be wise!

The crop of useless men out there today is really alarming n scary!! A real man will not ask his woman to foot their wedding bills. These bastards these days aint got no shame nor qualms about spending a chicks money. This dude & his family don't give a damn bout u, its clear he's not gon settle down wit u as he prolly has sumone he intends to marry. Smh at d mother, will she allow her own daughter do so in d name of love? Babes wake up & smell the coffee, run as fast as you can as these peeps dint care about u. Life does not end or begin by marriage,use ur grey matter n either invest your money in sumtin worthwhile or leave it in your account. Dude will term u a liability after u pay d wedding expenses wen u become broke! Marriage is not do or die.#nuffsaid
