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

This is the highest level of desperation, u mean u will single handed do the whole wedding rites? Girl u need help, cos u giving it a thought already is not normal. What a shame, even if all men are rotting away in hell will that make u to embark in such a crazy and stupid thing. Meanwhile that guy does not want to marry u and his mother is a very wicked woman. Gosh, indeed some women are shameless and a big disgrace to womanhood. IS HE THE ONLY MAN IN THE WORLD?

My dear don't be a desperado! Hw can you spend everything you have for a wedding!! Pls RUN!!!! His mother is even giving you an outrageous bill, that shows you the kind of family you're about entering.Quote me, u'll forever regret it if you go ahead. Be patient, your man will come. BTW, are you sure they are not planning to defraud you. Look b4 u leap.

PLEASE ,DUMP THIS MAN BEFORE YOU END MENTALLY SICK. HIS MOTHER WAS A PRETENDER ,WHO HAVE TOLD HER SON NOT TO MARRY YOU.
IF YOU GIVE THEM THE MONEY ,THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR MORE MONEY.

PLEASE , LOVE IS NOT BLIND, DO NOT BE BLIND TO DANGER.

My dear, u know what u want...if u take care of d expenses for your marriage, be rest assured dt u'll be d one financing d "home".....my candid opinion is u shd stop pestering him for marriage nd continue saving for ur future nd at dsame time on d look out for a husband not a boy....or else this is just a tip of the iceberg.....a man is supposed to be d breadwinner for d home, urs is just to add butter...wise up babe,d guy is just playing wt ur head

I have never commented on Linda but am so dumb founded by your level of reasoning. For heavens sake what is it with you women....don't you get the message or you need a sooth sayer to spell it out...so now Na you De do the work of a man that is clearly unwilling abi...Na you De pay for your own wedding...now his shameless mother is writing you a bill and you are contemplating spending all that on a wedding. He ear s 170k...so many men I know have married their wives with far less...that about. Get it into your head. A man who genuinely loves you and want to spend the rest of his life with you do not need to be told, forced or cajoled into a wedding. He would willingly, sit with you to map out a strategy on how this goal will be accomplished with you supporting as well. You better take a step back and ask yourself does he want this as much as I thinm he does PR am you paying for someone elses wedding. Please take a step back, drop the number of years you have spent together, drop all sentiments and think with your brains...sheeesh...what's with all this desperation from you ladies...this is so terriblr

Take off dear as fast as u can. It will be foolish to spend all ur savings on ur wedding. The guy should bring most of money while u support him by a max of 20%.
I bet that if u marry urself like u intend to, make sure u get ready 4 worse times ahead.

This is the height of avoiding responsibility.

Firstly, I don't see why you need to pay that much for a wedding. it is a few days things and the most important thing is that you and your man loves each other. Just follow your heart but to be sincere, that wedding money na die oh. Remember keep some of the raining day.

Anonymous said...

Move on baby!

AM.PersonOne said...

Firstly, he earns than you do, and he can't make saving for what seems important to you two, that means after marriage no fiancial aid of such should you like expect. At least they can't put the burden and expensis on you and as I know, wedding plans involves the both families, friends and couple not just a one person thing to carry on. It seems wrong for the mother to have wanted the burden placed on you with his son not contributing of such and the man is not fair enough. If u can save that much, depriving yourself of some comfort just for the good of you two, he should lighten your burden not you carry it all on. Well, I can't say you should leave him or carry on with the wedding, you two have been together for quite long, you know what you want and ever desire. Its better now to adjust if change is meant to be than to roll in, endure and like over look it and live a life time regret or unhappy home. Peace!!!

The man plus his mum are sick. You will so regret your life if you marry him. Even if he now agrees to share the expenses do not marry him. Remove your mind from the 5 years cos you will hate every day of your marriage while it lasts.

I m sure he is not ready to marry but rather wants to connive with is mum to dupe u. I bet u if u send that money I feel the next thing u will hear is the son has traveled abroad. So pls be wise. And if u sponsor the marriage be ready to feed the family cos he will always feel u have money so he will not strive to make more

Anonymous said...

Paying for the wedding is a small thing....what happens after the wedding?...will u continue to carry the fam?... in my opinion its not worth it....if a man is comfortable allowing a woman pay for the wedding he might as well cut off his balls and hand it to her....#justsaying

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 years, 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.

Wo, I pity your life. If ur fiancee's mother couldn't rein her son in to be the man and take his place b4 marriage, don't be suprised that they wud, in d nearest future, say dt u forced urself on him and paid 4 d weddin out of deperation. U need a man to whom u can be a helpmeet not the one u will have to cater for. If he earns more than you, why can't he foot the bill? Must u do a fairytale weddin? Let him plan the weddin with the little money he has cos after weddin, nobody will borrow u money o. Abo oro la nso fun omoluwabi ... Finish the rest

Please do not relapse the money to them The guy and his mum are very unserious human beings. They are gold diggers! No matter how little he earns, he can afford to sponsor his own wedding @ 170k per month. It's all about planning and discipline.

U'll be d most foolish woman on earth if u shuld release ur money, how can a man earning 170k per month tell u he can't finance his own wedding, dat is lack of seriousness. To talk of his mum arrangement, I think both d mother $ d son planned 2 maga u and end things up with u. U can't bear ur wedding expenses simply bcos ur guy is giving a flimsy excuse. U're d one making d effort, while he is less concerned. It may surprise u if u eventually end up in his house 2 come out straight 2 u dat u used ur money 2 force him into d marriage. Pls wake up from ur sleep and call it quit with d useless guy and his gold digger mum.

I once dumped a guy I had dated for 3years because he proposed marriage. He didn't have it all but he was willing to get it all for me. I met another guy who was more comfortable than him so I thought I was better off. After using my body for 2years, I got faced with ur predicament & I went ahead to pay for my own wedding but here's what followed: "the marriage to him is joke". And all he ever seen me as since we got married is someone he did a favour. Bottomline"use your head"..you'll never stop paying him after this.

if he really has no money and you love him that much, then marry him without a big wedding. find a registry. No reason to spend all your savings on a wedding. makes no sense.

My honest advice, forget dis guy & move on. Yes,it may seem like you've wasted 5 yrs on him but it's better than a life time of misery with him cos girl, that is what you'll experience if you pay for the wedding. His mother will control ur home & u'll end up bearing d cost for everything in the house. On the flip side, if u truly love him, must you have a big wedding? Why not have a small traditional with family members & go to the registry? A million plus or less will finish that and you can save/invest the rest for your future. My dear, be smart & think wise so you do not jump into a miserable life in d name of "I wan marry". God will guide you. All d best.

I know its hard but DO NOT MARRY this man. What type of woman will be comfortable enough to let her future daughter inlaw pay for the wedding. This marks more trouble to come in the future. They will never respect and use it to insult you the moment they can.

IT is easier to leave now than later.

QUESTION.....MUST YOU DO A MASSIVE WEDDING JUST BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE IS? I HAD A VERY SMALL REGISTRY WEDDING TWO YEARS AGO AND A TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE IN MY FATHERS LIVING ROOM. ME AND MY HUSBAND INTEND TO RENEW OUR MARRIAGE VOWS AND HAVE A LARGE PARTY FOR OUR 10 YEARS ANNIVERSARY BY THE GRACE OF GOD.
RIGHT NOW, WE INTEND TO INVEST OUR MONEY INTO BUYING A PROPERTY. IF WE HAD SPENT ALL OUR MONEY HAVING A LARGE WEDDING, WE WONT BE FINANCIALLY STABLE RIGHT NOW.
SO THINK ABOUT IT VERY WELL. IF YOUR MAN IS A HARD WORKER, HE PROVIDES FOR YOU (I HOPE HE IS NOT STINGY, AND I HOPE YOU ARE NOT GREEDY) AND YOU FEEL THAT HE TRULY LOVES YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY, THEN MY ADVICE IS TO DO A MINIMAL TRADITIONAL WEDDING AND SIMPLY DO GO TO REGISTRY. INVEST FOR MONEY AND SAVINGS FOR THE FUTURE, NOT ON A DAY`S PARTY.

OOOH, BEFORE I FORGET, YOU MENTIONED THAT HE EARNS 170K. YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING WITH ALL HIS EARNING BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT HE IS NOT STINGY, A MAN NEEDS TO PROVIDE FOR HIS HOME. DONT FORCE YOURSELF INTO THE MARRIAGE BECAUSE AS MUCH AS MARRIAGE CAN BE A BLESSING, IT CAN ALSO BE A BONDAGE, SO BE 100% CERTAIN BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP.

I can understand how you feel. Firstly, you need to calm down. From what I percieve, this guy isn't the type of guy to settle down with. Someone that can not take responsibilty for a wedding? How would he take responsibility when you start procreating and need to send your wards to school, cater for them etc? My darling, I don't think you've found a husband. Its not too late to start over, better late than never. Take care hun!

TruBrotha said...

YOU MUST BE DESPERATE AND STUPID TO WANT TO PAY FOR A WEDDING. IF THE MAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED?

ALSO AFTER THE WEDDING YOU PEOPLE WOULD EAT STONES AND SLEEP ON THE FLOOR RIGHT? WHY LET THE STUPID BIG WEDDING CRAZE HIT YOU? GO TO THE COURT WITH A FEW FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE YOUR WEDDING AND A LITTLE RECEPTION. NEXT DAY LIFE GOES ON AND YOU HAVE YOUR MONEY TO INVEST IN OTHER THINGS.

Pls my dear sis, just forget him , run from him now and move on with your life. A real man ll soon come ur way. It is not compulsory to do elaborate wedding if he really love u & doesn't av enough money! Don't be surprised if he arranged wt his mum to collect your life saving & then jilt u. And if u pay for d wedding today, u ll continue to pay for evertin for d rest of ur marriage which ll eventually break down bcos by then ur eyers would av opened & u ll no longer be able to tolerate his wickedness anymore. If u don't know anytin better to do wt ur money, pls fix it in a bank till u know what to do wt it. As for d mother, she is a shame to both motherhood & womanhood! And I ppray that her female daughters will encounter worse in d hands of their mother in-laws, it doesn't matter if they are already married. A WORD is enough for d WISE.

Release your money, and it will be the last time you hear from them! Let's even assume they're serious about the wedding (which isn't true), why should it be your mother in law executing the preparation? If u're not too young to make the money, u shouldn't be too young to do the spending. A word is enough!!

If u finance d wedding be rest assured you will finance accomodatn, ante natal, delivery childcare n much more. If ur guy is ready for marriage but has no money, he shd be d one telling u to cut ur coat accordg to his material not collectg all ur savings for d ceremony. Be wise girl, dnt b too desperate to marry. My 2kobo

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..

Unknown said...

sponsoring the wedding will make you look desperate. And if i know men well, they do know how to take advantage of desperate women. And also, seems to me his mum also wants to exploit your desperation as well. my advice, keep dating till he is ready for marriage. And if after a while he is still not ready and you cant take it anymore, please leave and move on with your life. Im sure you must be a pretty woman and im also sure you would find another man who would not only love you, but also put a ring on it.

I'm a man and i would say it is better you move on with your life...It is either he does not love you and he doesn't know how to tell you so his mother gave you 4 million naira bill so to chase you away or he is not ready for marriage..If he can't sponsor the wedding or bring 70-80% of the wedding bill then leave him and move on with your life.i assure you will meet better men that will sponsor the wedding and make positive impact in your life

libers, the fact that she is asking for an opinion doesnt make her desperate.
dear lady, pls be very careful. take ur time in deciding what to do. if weeding plans tear a couple apart, it is a sure sign that their bond as husband and wife will be weak. how wedding plans are handled is a clear reflection of what ur marriage will be like.
if ur fiancee takes ur relationsip seriously, he would have planned out this wedding by now and shown more interest, even if he had to use ur money.
i strongly advise that both of u communicate well, it seems to me that he wont take other serious matters seriously in future. would u like to be stuck with a man who isnt bothered about paying ur kids fees? pls think about the future implications of his current actions.
and i advise u save ur money for someone and something more worthwhile.
the ball is in ur court.

Be wise and leave the woman way of thinking in you and just forget about this man,, he is a fool and you will ever regret your life if you ever send that money away from your account, let him buy your wedding gown give you money to go and pay for hall, cake catering service and wedding gown, then you will use your own money to buy him suit, drinks and do the rest of things but in my words i will just advice you to forget the man my dear if really you exist

Runnnnnnnnnn,that guy doesn't love u,& he & his mum want to extort money from u.How sure are u that he really wants to marry u? How sure are u that he doesn't want to use ur money to marry another chick. Be wise,if he had marriage on mind,he would have started saving for long wit that kind of salary but now that u mentioned u have money they want to use ur desperation againt.Even if he marries u tomorrow & there is a problem he will want u to take responsibility bcos u forced him into marriage when he obviously told u he is not ready.If u give them the money then u sound desperate cos marriage is surpose to be a two way tin but when one person decides to shoulder everytin then it is surpose to be the man.He is the man & he should take responsibility.

It is not necessary to have a big wedding, why invest all your finances for people that may curse or bless u on your wedding day, Go to the court and have a wedding instead of breaking the bank. Life is the best teacher, never give up ur finances until u say I do. Now the mother has a list, dear talk to ur parents I am sure they will have a few things to say.

Anonymous said...

Well,if this story is true and you truly love each other, you can cut the wedding cost down to size with him contributing more, and while at that do not forget about life after the marriage ceremony. The thing is, if you really love him, you should work together to face, carry and solve any matters arising, responsibility can be alternating but with the man taking the lead, that is the way to lasting relationship, our parents who succeeded in this marriage venture will tell you same.

Aru! Abomination!! Why should a lady sponsor her wedding alone? Getting married is not that serious, my dear. You should support him financially, and not take up the burden alone. If he has not been able to save anything all these years despite the fact that he is working, then he probably isn't serious about marriage. Don't pose yourself as 'Desperate' abeg, apply wisdom. As for his Mom giving you bill...SMH. It is well with you, my dear

Claire said...

Please forget about him immediately. You have already wasted five years on him and it is better you leave him now so you can find somebody who deserves you while you are still young. First of all even if you feel comfortable bankrolling the wedding, you will be emasculating him and there is no man alive secure enough to take that. This will show when he starts ill treating you. He will need to assert himself and will also want to prove his manhood over and over again with women that can look up to him.Finally if his mother could hand you such a bill then the family is dysfunctional and have no scruples...run for your life.

My humble advice is that you leave him immediately while you are still young and find someone who deserves you.To start with even if you are comfortable bringing out such money to bankroll the wedding single handed,you will be emasculating your man.There is no man alive secure enough to handle that. This will show when he starts ill treating you in order to assert himself and he will will definitely need to prove his manhood over and over with different women who look up to him. Finally if his mother could hand you such a bill then the family is dysfunctional and have no scruples. My dear run for your life.

Queenie said...

Hi dear,
I hope dor your sake this story is fabricated. I beg of you, do not marry this man. If he can open his mouth to say he has no money dor the wedding, then he should not involve his mum in the matter.
A wedding should be a womans affair n not his moms'. 4milion! For a couple whoose monthly take home is 270k combined!
Please its time to lick your wound n move on.
I married a man who refused to take responsibility for our wedding even though he did not admit that at first. I paid for everything n he promised tonpay back. I never got my money back. But guess wat? It dis not earn me any respect from my man. He even accused of dating 'big' men in d end. Our marriage lasted 5 months. My only happiness is dat I left pregnant. I currently have a 3yr old pretty angel.
Pls don't do it. If his mum is indecent enough to call a woman her son wants to marry n give her such outrageos bill for a wedding her son isnt paying for, run away from such family.
They would nor respect you but label u desperate.
Thank you.
