For most people a wedding is not a do-or-die affair, they throw whatever they can and move on with their lives. Others, however, bow to pressure from society or individuals and go out of their way to fund that lavish wedding.

He borrowed money from two major sources and kept his hopes in the fact that guests who attended the wedding would give him money, but he was disappointed when they came with gifts which they sold off for N62k to settle debts.
The shop he rented for his wife has become empty because they could not afford to restock it as every penny they get goes into settling debt or feeding.
@IrunmoleWeil further revealed that the husband earns N120k and by the time his office deducts a fixed fee to repay his loan, he takes home just N70k.

"Trying to impress the public when your primary purpose is to impress each other for a life time. Misplaced priority, i just hope people get to learn from other people(s) sad experiences."

"I did my wedding with less than 50k and it was okay, only traditional."
@rosemary_egbo:
"This is what happens when 2 financially unintelligent people marry. A wedding ceremony isn't an investment. People prolly don't care after that day. Now, where's the wife's mum that pushed for the loud wedding?"

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a married man took what many have described as a formal approach to addressing family issues.
In the photo shared on Twitter by @OwuorMichael, an undisclosed married man wrote a letter to his family notifying them of his intention to bring in a second wife.
The concluding part of the letter sought an understanding and a partnership of all family members on the new development. It also stated that there will be sanctions for those who fail to comply.
