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

  9. forget the guy if he is not ready. I bet you, there is no going to be happiness in the marriage if you sponsor the wedding alone. Move on if he is not ready.

  10. Use ur money for wedding&continue to pay the bills for ever,u'l pay ur children's skol fees&upkeep of the house,pls dnt make that mistake,pple dat earn less than 170k,plan their weddings themselves,he will always tell u,u were desperate

    ReplyDelete
  11. Please my dear, dump him! He doesn't love you enough and is obviously not ready to settle down.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Definitely no no, don't pay for the wedding- if the guy is not ready nor willing to marry after five years, then move on!!!! Clearly, you are not wife material as far as he is concerned!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Na wa o. They sent you list of 4 million. Please advise yourself and run.

  14. You should not invest all you have into a marriage ceremony that will be over before you know it. You can always get married in a smaller way. The payments should be a joint effort. You both earn money

    ReplyDelete
  15. Pls forget abt him and move on with your life. He is might to wed you not you wedding him. What nonsense, the mother giving u bill for the son's wedding. Better read the hand writing on the wall.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm worried about U... It's obvious these people don't want you in their family and they are doing these things to tell U off. There was a reason our culture held that men pay for the marriage,so he'd value u for what u are worth. If u then "marry urself",he'd hold u at no high esteem at all... Please review ur marriage to him and pray seriously about it...

  23. When he is ready you will know, dont be anxious or desperate.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow. That is really wicked of him. Are you sure he is the right man for you.

    Why don't you ask him to do the wedding anyhow he can afford it or give him 1.5m while he contributes the remaining 2.5m

    I haven't heard his side of the story so my opinion is not conclusive.

    ReplyDelete
  25. My babe pls i beg u...... if you know your boyfriend is serious, pls wait for him to make enough, you both need to sit down amd talk about how you can both save money towards the wedding. Him especially.

    ReplyDelete
  26. kw dat u r not an indian lady. he makes d move den u support him

    ReplyDelete
  27. he is not serious.he must have been showing you the signs that he is not ready for marriage but u ignored it.whatever you condole single it will be worse when u get married .so the earlier u count your loss the better.Its not about the money but the attitude of ur "fiancee"

    ReplyDelete
  28. My dear, it's very wrong to a woman to sponsor a wedin, besides why is the mum givin you d weddin estimate? Somtin is not right

  33. Please run as fast and as far as you can. Going by your story, this may be the beginning of you taking care of all family bills.

    ReplyDelete
  34. You sound so desperate. Tell ur parents abt ur intentions and see if ur mum won't land u a slap. See d kinda family u wanna end up in, ppl without shame. 4million, when there son doesn't even av a kobo for his own wedn. Pls babes, marriage is a serious commitment, u can't rush into it jst cos ur friends are, wait, the right man will find u, bt 1st let go of that lazy man and his greedy mum. I rest my case.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I do not object to a lady contributing to her wedding but this is a No-NO, being the sole sponsor and mother-in-law is dictating how it will go? your man should be able to contribute some percentage and both of you can decide what you want. your mother-in-law of course can share her ideas but I do not agree these ideas should be forced down your throat. It is an issue that can be resolved. Do not leave your man, except you have other reasons. Abi, is he a mama's boy?

  41. Dis is ridiculous and completely outrageous, ow can you allow ur mother inlaw to give you bill for your own marriage abi aree you the one going to ask for her son's marriage. Allow the man to work the money his gonna use to mrry you, therez dignity in d@ if not 2mw he'd use d@ against u. If he ends d@ much and can't save for his wedding in 5yrs then his not ready. Who knws if he didn't conive wit his mother to do w@ shez doing. For me I tink you should leave d@ man and move on with his life.

  51. If his shameless mother wants a 4 million naira wedding, then she should get her son to fork out 2.5 million. If you can't pay for your own wedding as a man, then something is wrong. I am not saying that you shouldn't help, but 4 million? Seriously and her son earns more?!! Sister fleee!! That man does not want to marry you.

    ReplyDelete
  52. God punish the mother and the son!!oh girl move on with ur life and stop being desperate..Tomorrow he will turn u into an Atm machine and if u don't give money to him he turns u to his punching bag#Aru#

    ReplyDelete
  53. U have money sha o, incase u don't know what to do with it, let me help u keep it.. Pay 4 marriage ko; 4 million ni

    ReplyDelete
  54. He too earns as u do,he is a man pls n pls don't try it.its his responsibility,hold on to him or better still look 4 another man.Once you start dis dats how it will be forever

    ReplyDelete
  55. This man is a gold digger and he is not truly interested in you. You are wasting your time with him. Are you hearing yourself? How can you be the only,one paying for your wedding? You are not marrying yourself and Such is a Man's responsibility. His mother has no business calling you to tell you to pay for her son. This is a dead end my dear. If you know what is good, leave him. This man is not good for you and certainly does not love you. No man who is decent will talk you into paying for your own wedding. It is not done.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Pls forget the guy, do not pay for that wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  57. PLEASE FORGET THAT MAN AND MOVE ON. WHAT SORT OF RUBBISH IS THIS. THATS NOT A MAN. WHO ON EARTH WILL GIVE A WOMAN SUCH A RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS ALIEN TO OUR AFRICAN CULTURE.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow so he doesnt have anything to contribute at all...that cant be right,so he expects you to sponsor the whole wedding oga oo.I'll advice you not to spend all your life savings on a wedding biko,if he cant spare anything from his own pocket then pls forget this man he is not ready for marriage.BCos when the time comes he will say you are the one that forced the wedding/marriage down his throat plus if he is not ready to help you with the wedding issue what makes you think he will support you when you go broke from all the expenses of this so called wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  59. 4get abt him and move on. He earns more than u. Y do u want 2 b d 1 covering all expenses 4 d wedding? R u dat desperate 2 get married? Afta weddin xpenses, house rent will cum up. Children's school fees as well. Will u b able 2 handle it?

    ReplyDelete
  60. u sound desperate to get married so he will definitely take advantage of that...he told u to go ahead with using your money to do that? well, he doesnt even care as u can tell..
    I think u should forget him..and his mother is so inconsiderate too..wait till u get married then u will see

  70. Babe,just forget this guy.This is just a ploy by him to discourage you.and I suspect his mom is his cohort.When I got married about 5years ago,my mother inlaw and I sat down to work out the expenses and not the other way round.this is alien to our culture as africans.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Any man that can not bring money to marry you is not serious . Also any self respecting mother of a Man should be sending the bills to her son. These people are users. Do not be desperate. The man you will eventually man will not take 5 years to make up his mind ! run as fast as you can. You should be supporting this man not being the sole financier of your own wedding. If he marries you be ready to pay rent , house keeping and school fees while he uses his money for God knows what. They no thet tell person 2 times.

    ReplyDelete
  72. don't try it oo. How can your to be mother inlaw treat you this way. Then worst/any will happen during the marriage and pepper eye go finish you badly. Just forget this marriage for now oo my dear sister cos when a man is ready to settle nothing stops him

  77. Use your hands to close your mouth. No Benin woman will stoop that low to ask money from her sons GF for wedding. Apart from that your earn 100k and yet you have 3m in your account claiming to be funds you made from supply. You must be a thief. Above all, You are a Big Liar and i don't have any advise to give you. Benin people are not wasteful and i don't see what you she intend to do with that must amount.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Pls my dear,forget him and move on..use dat 3million and start something useful for yourself while working too..the guy is a buffon

    ReplyDelete
  79. Communicate yourself to him properly & in a very clear & simple way with your fiance. Be honest. He should be honest as well. if you like, write down the points you need to address & break them down, so that you dont appear to be all over the place. be specific because unfortunately, men dont have the sense to understand conversations if they said indirectly/ vaguely.

    If all is well...i think you should be upfront about how long you're willing to wait & stick to it. don't compromise what will make you happy. if you take yourself seriously, your man will do the same. you can't plan a wedding without your partner. It isnt only about you. you are getting to married to him & not yourself. if you go on with the solo wedding plans be prepared to be in that marriage by yourself.

    You cannot force an adult to do what he isnt ready for. do your part & let him do his part.. but be smart. there's only so much you can do. don't put so much stress on yourself.

  80. Hehehe. .Wharisdis bikonu? See what desperation is making a gal do.Babe..did they write mumu on your forehead? Can't you see that these people want to just use you. .I mean it's ok if both of you contribute. ..buh I don't support the idea of you footing the bills alone abeg...Linda if you like don't post my comment as usual. ..goat! !!

  81. No female, woman or girl of any nationality has ever been raised to be the best woman she can be to grow up and find a broke man who can't SUPPORT her period. Only very few women have been brainwashed to think they need nothing from their man. Most of all their wedding expenses. You can teach your daugther to be be her man's surrogate mama and use her life savings to get her desperate ass a husband. Me, I WANT MY DAUGHTER'S MAN TO GIVE HER THE WORLD. Simple enough answer for you? Idiot!

  82. Pls pls pls run for ur dear life b4 u end up wishing u were out of a marriage u hurriedly went into. Use ur money to better urself. U dont beg a man to maRry u or even totally pay for ur own wedding...tufiakwa

    ReplyDelete
  83. Nope, don't put all your eggs in one basket. How abt a low key wedding? Must you run into debt all in the name of wedding? From what you quoted both of you are making you should not use more than 1.5 million on your wedding. Book an open field instead of a big hall!

  84. Leave him and move on with your life.

  85. Abeg pay for d wedding oo...infact don't even spend ur 3million naira alone..u can even get a loan from ur place of work to finance it aswell...and afta d whole drama...come here again to start disturbing us for another advice on what to do to ur broke-ass....

    ReplyDelete
  86. My dear you don't have to be confused,you are just about to be a bank account to that family.......you will spend on them for eternity since all you want from their son is a wedding. If he really wanted to marry you,he would have made the plans......I know you also have your family,find a way to help your siblings and not making wedding plans out of desperation.

  87. If I were you I would focus more on the marriage than on the wedding. These are mere accoutrements that will last a day or two, except you're the one seeking an extravagant wedding; which might explain your fiance's lack of interest in the financial aspect of this venture. Discuss with your partner and cut your coat according to size.

  90. Don't U DARE to marry him!!! Dats if d wedding holds at all. Both ur bf & his Mum has mapped out a plan to defraud u in broad day light!
    My dear lady, pls RUN away from dat guy as fast & as far as ur Legs can carry u.
    Also confide in ur own parent d same way he has confided in his mum, den u'll c how tinz play out.

  91. Please leave the man...run for your life. It's very obvious they don't want you but they just don't want to break your heart. This is a perfect way of them showing they do not want you.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Leave this man, He's not your husband. If a man doesn't spend on you, he'll have no value for u or the marriage. He'll have nothing to lose by walking out on you when its convenient for him. Don't rush, God has someone special for you, he's around the corner.

    ReplyDelete
  93. i think you should forget him if you both cant contribute equally or he contributes alone.
    its obvious he doesnt love you and even after the marriage he will start misbehaving. A man who loves you will be the one gathering his last kobo just to put you in the house. Its not even advisable to allow a man you are dating know your financial status until you have tested his love. There are many fake people out there looking for people to rip off and live on.His mother is a sorry story so by the time you spend all that money you will have nothing and how do you know he wont marry someone else. Test his love for you before you decide to marry.

Get ready to pay for all u need in ur home while married to him. My dear, I kno 5 yrs is a lot of tim but pls, walk away if he's nt willing to contribute. Pray to God nd he wl bless u wt d right man. Besides, 3 million is too much. Write ur own list

    ReplyDelete
  102. You want to use ALL your money for wedding without him dropping anything, and he earns more than you do? Are you the one marrying him?
    It is even more shameful that HIS mother is sending you a list for the wedding.
    What is this world turning into? Can't the two of you have a wedding you can afford?
    He is not ready, better move o and look for another man that is ready to be a MAN.

  127. First, I feel u guys combined income is enough to start a family but the biggest surprise is why his Mother wants a big wedding or doesn't she have an Idea of how much her son earns? I feel you shldnt give up ur whole savings for a wedding, give 1million and manage whatever can come from that.... SAVE YOUR MONEY, Men cannot be trusted!!! PS: I'm a man commenting

  142. Forget him? Hell no! Go ahead and pay for him to be married to you and tomorrow come and post on LIB that he doesn't pick up any expenses at home. If he can't afford the wedding, don't wed!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Linda you most think ur readers and follwers are mumu abi

    ReplyDelete
  144. I am a man, and I will be very blunt here. Any man that cannot afford a wedding should remain single until he is ready. My girlfriend of many years made the same offer, but I declined. She left. Life went on,and now I'm very ready cos I can afford to single handedly sponsor my wedding. Why have we,the men thrown away shame? When did we actually lose it? Would such a man have the temerity to question you afterwards? After all we know that he that pays the Piper dictates the tone. Who would head that home? Drop the shameless brother! What is the essence of marriage when things are not done the way they should be done? You don't deserve such a family. I'm disappointed in the mum as well. My dear sister-Libers, run away from any man that shamelessly takes money from you. It should be the other way round.

    ReplyDelete
  145. If you pay now, then you will keep paying the bills throughout the marriage. If the man is responsible, then he would contribute to his wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Its quite clear, he doesn't want to spend heavily on u, babes abeg speak to ur legs, if a man loves u, u won't av to tell him to wed u, he'll beg u to

    ReplyDelete
  147. That will be the biggest mistake you'll ever make! The least he can do is support you and contribute at least half! Don't do it, you'll regret it.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Dnt make the mistake of dropping the money

    ReplyDelete
  149. His mother has got no business with the wedding plan,it has to be between you and your husband. Girl,think they re trying to extort you and its better for you to walk out of it before things get worst...

    ReplyDelete
  150. Please leave him and walk away, if he truly loves u he would spend for the wedding.

  154. Dont even think about marrying the stingy bastard and his family! The shameless mother is even given you a price! If a guy does not feel the cost of marrying from his own pocket then he got you on the cheap and will never value you. And trust me he has taken u for granted and that has family will bleed you dry!

    ReplyDelete
  155. am not sure that guy want to marry u, but keep in mind dat after u spent ur money he ur marriage might have problem after one month. pls dont ever pay for ur wedding is his job to do so while u can support him how u can but not with all ur money u guys must feed after wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Lady, the so called fiance and mother are both shameless, the guy is obviously not ready and not showing commitment as expected.
    You need to be wise and if you are bent on getting married it should be to someone who really loves you. The Wedding lasts for a day but marriage is a lifetime contract, after the wedding, how many of your capital projects as a family will you bear same way.
    pray about this, good luck.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Do not make the biggest mistake of your life. Run faster than your legs can carry you. Are you going to pay your own bride price? Darling, buy yourself a car. You've worked for it and deserve it. Don't buy a husband. He'll never appreciate you the way he should.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Oh my God whyare we women so gullible. What is wrong wiv the world. Its people like u that make it seem as If marriage is a bad thing! Its not a curse but u can never be happy in that marriage. Your husband even earns more than you yet he cannot save for wedding? There is no way u wouldn't have seen the signs from the onset that ur bf is a stingy goat. See d mother calling u to and given u estimate.... The world is really coming to an end! My dear if u use that money to do wedding, God will punish u! Am so angry! What kind of nonsense is that! Why would u even tell him u have money! Are u so desperate! You must be very stupid...... Abeg linda no dey post this kain nonsense again! Just spoilt my mood. This suegbe will come out later when d man begin dey fuck up say she spent all her savings on him or that she suffered for him! Rubbish! Abeg u people should stop making marriage seem like a bad thing! Especially when its ur fault that u chose the wrong man!

  179. Am also surprised you're asking this dumb question..where in. Africa does a lady make marriage plans when the supposed husband is working and earning even higher than the supposed wife? Are u that desperate? Better wake up and realize that this is broad day fraud..even the mum had the gut to map out expenses..infact I don't believe this story..#hisses#vexed#

    ReplyDelete
  180. Why would u sponsor d wedding? It only shows ur desperation to get married. If the guy really wants u, he would ve saved up 4 a wedding. My dear, put love aside so u can reason clearly. This man might even say u dragged him into marriage in future. Let me share my experience u. I caught my boyfriend with another girl when she was telling him she was pregnant barely 2months 2 our wedding. Bcos I was inlove, I made excuses 4 him in my heart n neva told soul. 6months into our marriage during a fight, he mocked me by saying he was glad I say him wit d other girl. That it ws to show me dt he was had lots of choices. Asking me Y I didn't leave @ d time if not dt I was desperate to get married. According 2 him, he married me out of pity. All d love I feel is now gone but am stock in d marriage. If this ur man is not eager 2 marry u n also make financial commitment 2 that course, my sister make u run. Afterall, a broken engagement is better than a broken marrige. Learn from my xperience dear
