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

Your man has no money for the wedding expenses yet his mother is the one mapping out the expenses, wonders shall never end. Well if your mind is made up to marry him, ensure he contributes no matter what
He's the one marrying you and not the other way round

Babe forget him and move on with ur life

Both of you need talk; if he can't raise the money can he also plan for his own wedding? He is a mama boy, not yet a man. Anyway, help him to grow up.

Big scam why will his mother give you an estimate or is she a wedding planner?
Even if she is your fiance has the choice of spending 500K if he wish to spend...for both traditional & white
I clearly believe this is a scam
He just refuse to take responsibilities
So who will train the kids when they come?

Tell him if he does not have the money for a big wedding.. He should do the one he can then u can give him a little support
But if na me be you i go run with out looking back useless guy wif a ...... Mom

Young lady,your father did not send you to school to make money and lavish because you desperately want to be a Mrs. Why should a man engage a woman when he's not financially capable/ready for a wedding? You made a very big mistake by telling him you have money to make the wedding happen in the 1st place when your man is working and earning more than you.your duty is to help/support(if need be),and not the other way round. And what's the mother-in-law's biz with wedding expenses?are you coming to marry her son or her son is going to marry you? Shine your eyes o

oh honey... don't you dare pay for your own wedding ALL BY YOURSELF. the fact that this man who earns more than you will even allow you, with the help of his 'precious' mother to plan your wedding.... RIDICULOUS; Says alot about his character. child PAUSE! just pause... tell him, how you feel... and tell him he should contribute. if he ain't about to, child put his ass out... He isn't your prince... Goodluck

First you don't need a big wedding ceremony. Second is if you pay for this u would keep paying even when he can afford it. Stop been d one to ask him about gettin married and the prep. He isn't ready and am wondering aw u missed that. If movin on suits u why not but paying for the wedding is a no no. Be wise.

why on earth should you pay for the weeding expenses my dear? you earn 100K and he earn 170K and he still can't save up for the weeding. My sister please move on with your life and stop forcing yourself on a guy who doesn't appreciate you. He never talks about weeding, signs of no interest.

If you pay to marry him you will live to regret it.

Though most of this stories are fictions, I must advise here that only desperate women would want to pay for your marriage the least that can be done is make a little contribution to marriage ceremony. Don't you see that he and his mother are trying so hard to dump your ass so that plot of she calculating expenses for you. In fact na you dey seek hand in marriage na, that's why they gave you expenses make you come pay.Abi my people how una see am?

Unknown said...

How much does he have? If you bring dat 3million, he should be able to bring something and his mother should really cut the expenses. You guys don't need a lavish wedding. Just something simple

forget and leave him, he is not ready for you. He might just someday tell you, u forced him too marry you, since you paid for the wedding. why cant he pay when he can afford it.its just simple he is not really down for you and might someday leave you. please leave this guy, and find someone better.

Jade said...

Move on darling! When a man loves a woman,he wants to provide for her. It comes naturally. Your guy and his mum are messing with you. He is marrying YOU not the other way round. You've wasted,5yrs already,pls don't waste another minute with him and his family. They are bad news!

Dispson said...

Please pardon my question. What kind of value does he place on you? And how come the mother wants you to bring in N4m for a marriage with his son? I am disappointed with such a mother! Will she do same if you were her mother. If you are not asking for society wedding, I see no reason why the guy cannot hold a wedding ceremony within his means. I think the guy is not serious but merely sees you as a free lay. Put value on yourself, quit the relationship and move on with your life. A better and appreciative person will come your way.

Anonymous said...

The answer is within the question. This thing is causing you more heartache than happiness, this means its not good/healthy.

Please don't go about the wedding like this. Talk about it properly, its not a do or die affair. It should add to you even when you're giving, not take and take and take

Hmmmmmmm....... Don't make that mistake my dear sister. Men are a funny bunch. Tomorrow he will say u married him, u forced him into the marriage. 5yrs and he has no savings. There is nothing wrong in supporting ur man financially but bearing the cost of the wedding, Mba nu. Run for ur life dearest and go and invest ur money. If he is serious, he will come back. Dont buy dat mother in law trash, its just a way to have control over you and your home.

chinazom said...

I don't even know what to say to this! Is the guy geniunely in love with you? What kind of wedding are you guys planning with 4million Naira? I don't think that guy is in love with you, he's just marrying you for the sake of how long you guys have been together. Talk to your mum or any family member and hear what they have to say. Last last do not forget prayers. Goodluck

@ Poster..You need my advise? If yes then I suggest you drop this guy... YES DROP HIM OFF YOUR SHOULDER!!!!! You will be making the biggest mistake if you feel you want to pay for your tradition/white wedding without your guy contributing a penny. C'mon who does such things? FIRSTLY, if you pay for all the wedding expenses, that literally means you married him instead of the other way round... And believe me, that marriage will not last. If you have issues in the future, you can't stand your ground to defend any issues. He will tell you to your face "after all he never married you, you paid for your bride price therefore you married yourself" SECONDLY, he is not making any effort, what that means apparently is, it is either 1. He is not interested in you OR 2. He doesn't want to go on with the marriage... My dear @ Poster, you have to think with your HEAD not your HEART in this situation. Fine probably of your age, pressure fm friends and all that, you want to settle down but not with someone like him who is nonchallant and self-centred *forgive my use of words*. Don't allow yourself to be used. After reading these comments here on LIB, sit him down again and ask him for the last time, "does he want you as his wife, what plans does he have towards you.". Mind you this is 2014; this year seems to be running very fast, so you don't waste another year again hanging around him. If he happens to be a time waster. I wish you all the best as you emback on this journey..

People date people for 10years nd still dey dnt even get married so whats 5years compared to a lifetime of pain, inconsistency, drama,nd did i forget to mention that u ll be responsible for his family as well since you want to act as the man now. Please be wise.

Adekemi said...

I think you should just let go of the man 'cause I don't think he really wants to marry you. though you may think after all this years of dating. but truth me if you use your money to pay for the wedding and none of is money is spent on the same wedding, you will never hear the end
that just my own advice

Crystal B said...

@ Poster..You need my advise? If yes then I suggest you drop this guy... YES DROP HIM OFF YOUR SHOULDER!!!!! You will be making the biggest mistake if you feel you want to pay for your tradition/white wedding without your guy contributing a penny. C'mon who does such things? FIRSTLY, if you pay for all the wedding expenses, that literally means you married him instead of the other way round... And believe me, that marriage will not last. If you have issues in the future, you can't stand your ground to defend any issues. He will tell you to your face "after all he never married you, you paid for your bride price therefore you married yourself" SECONDLY, he is not making any effort, what that means apparently is, it is either 1. He is not interested in you OR 2. He doesn't want to go on with the marriage... My dear @ Poster, you have to think with your HEAD not your HEART in this situation. Fine probably of your age, pressure fm friends and all that, you want to settle down but not with someone like him who is nonchallant and self-centred *forgive my use of words*. Don't allow yourself to be used. After reading these comments here on LIB, sit him down again and ask him for the last time, "does he want you as his wife, what plans does he have towards you.". Mind you this is 2014; this year seems to be running very fast, so you don't waste another year again hanging around him. If he happens to be a time waster. I wish you all the best as you emback on this journey.. Linda dear pls post

Pull ur two ears and run! Too many red flags here. Why is ur mother-in-law giving the expenses to u and not her son? What kind of family feels comfortable letting their daughter-in-law to be, pay for the wedding? Why is she planning a N4m wedding when she knows her son can't afford it? I see a lot of suffering in ur future if u marry this guy and into this family.

R u dat desperate? Can't u c dey want 2 dupe u? U b confirm maqa o. How can u possibly fund ur weddinq? A man earnin 170k says he has no mny 4 weddinq. Na u wey dey earn 100k come qet?

Unknown said...

If you are this distressed before marriage, you are heading to a big disappointment in this marriage. If both of you cannot sit down and plan about your future before you get married, it will never get better after marriage. If you do not appreciate his lack of understanding how you feel now, it is never going to get better. If his mother will continue to set his thought straight for him, he will never grow out of it. If you spend all your money on this wedding, you will regret it in the near future because he can only say it was your decision not his. My question is, have you prayed and ask God what he thinks. You have been with this man for five year, perhaps, letting him take advantage of you. You are a beautiful girl. God has someone for you who will appreciate you if this man is not ready to grow up and work with you concerning your future and what is important to you.

i don't understand why women think its okay to shortlist themselves, i don't even understand why the man's mum will send a list to the intended bride. Like seriously, who does that? If the man thinks you are not worth saving for to have enough money to make you an honest woman and marry you then pls my dear, move on cos he doesn't think you are wife material and if you pay for your own wedding then something is seriously wrong with you, cos you are just telling him you are desperate and will do anything to get him,5 years is a lot but my dear, pack your stuffs and go cos that man doesn't love you enough to make you his wife. Gosh! Wetin person no go see for this generation? Not even for you to contribute or add to what he can afford, it is for you to pay for the entire thing. see me see trouble ooo.

Don't do it. He earns more that you and for him not able to provide the money shows he got no plans for life. Secondly i am not judging but form my own view, am not sure he loves you because if he does, he will not go to his mum to write such a draconick list which he brought without shame to u. Jesus.... That man has no plans and conscience.... After the marriage may be you will start drinking garri at home. Third, the mother is into yahoo business be careful. My advice is,,, don't do it.....because the don't love you but your money, a home that u are trying to moved their shame are in turn are greedy.... Hmmm, shame. NB: this is my own opinion, babe i don't kw abt ur age.... U kw wat is best for u. Do it..... Bey.
