Everyone dreams of the perfect wedding.
And some times, because people are so focused on having that dreamy fairy tale wedding, they forget that the most important thing should be the actual marriage.
Wedding are beautiful and romantic and heart felt. We know. It’s that once in a life time moment of celebration where we get to see our families and friends come together to see us tie the knot with our partner forever.
A Nigerian wedding especially is one that comes with a lot of noise and bustle.
Everyone is involved in the process especially if you’re female. If you’re not very careful, it’s so easy to forget that this special day is for you not for others.
A Marriage Is More Important Than A Wedding
As we have already established, a marriage is the most critical part of a union between two people not just wedding and ceremonies.
A lot of couples fall into debt because they’re trying to have the perfect wedding and they forget that when everyone leaves, they have to live with each other in their rubble of debts.
It’s not bad to want the best for your wedding, but, you have to make sure that you can afford it first.
If you can’t, then it’s best for you cut your cost according to your size.
If you do decide that you want to borrow money for a wedding because it is of the utmost importance, then, make sure you that you have an investment somewhere that can help you comfortably pay back the money soon.
Why put all your money in a momentary ceremony and then wallow in self pity after the wedding?
It’s damaging to try toy impress the public when it doesn’t benefit you in any way.
A good way to try to make your wedding an affordable one is by inviting few people. A lot of numbers in your wedding can have you laying through your nose for refreshments and other things.
Invite people you know and keep it as small as possible.
How About The Rings?
Rings are the most important part of a wedding of course. What’s a wedding without rings? But, do not splurge on a ring you cannot afford.
If you have the money to comfortably buy a high end diamond ring, then, do so.
But, if it’s a struggle for you to spend money on expensive rings, then buy one that still looks good but is more affordable.
Remember, you can always upgrade your rings with them. When you have been married for a while and have made more money, you can then proceed to get rings of your choice without regrets.
You have to start your marriage on a well laid out and firm foundation, that is the only way you can build the future of your dreams with your partner.
In summary. marriage is far more important than any dreamy fairy tale wedding.
Marriage signifies the reality of the Union, while a wedding is just a short dress up snippet of a couple.
You can have the best day at your wedding without hurting your bank account.
