Very good advise from @Mukiha

Plan a wedding you can afford. you call your friends to assist you with logistics and ideas not to contribute money to support your wedding.

Where do you get 500 guests? Wedding is supposed to be for the special people around your life that you treat like kings on that day for their support on that day.... Why not just invite those who really really matter to you and you will see your budget go down significantly and you will have people who really appreciate you on your wedding day.... not the "my neighbour's best friend's cousin's daughter"....

a) You have justed started a blue collar job
b) Your wife to be is in part-time employment
c) Your wife to be does not want a pre-wedding
d) You plan to fund wedding from your savings

Either you have a very well paying job or you are setting yourself up for a very tough wedding!

You have all your priorities wrong.Close your eyes and imagine a cart before an ass!

There is a friend of mine who used kitu 300/- for a wedding though this one was in shags.

The Pastor + 2 witnesses + couple = 5 people

Thereafter kila mtu went his way. They live happily as far as i can observe

A wedding costs 800k? Does that include the wilting flowers at mid-day?

450-500 people for a wedding!!!???

If people say to you, "And you did not invite me to your wedding!" they do not necessarily hate you.

After 1 year probably less than 5% of the people who came to your wedding will remember it.

In terms of importance; if a wedding is the size of Migingo island a marriage is the size of the Continent of Africa. On top of love and understanding marriages also need money to run smoothly. The first days of a marriage are expensive. Unlike a wedding you can't fundraise for a marriage.

Your wife will always expect you to have money. "Honey, don't you remember we used all we had for the wedding." is an excuse that will not fly.

You must always have a little more money than your wife thinks you have.

At critical times Women are very intolerant of lack of money.

Think of it this way now that Wazuarians love aviation; Money is jetfuel, Wedding is takeoff and marriage is the flight. Do you want to get a perfect liftoff only to run out of fuel to complete the flight?

Folks,I nd some help in preparing 4 my nuptials late next yr.
Here are my main concerns
We plan on not having a pre-wedding fund raising ju "wifey" thinks its "tacky" hence the long period to save up n also postpone the honeymoon!!

She is a student, work part time na I just started a blue collar jobo.

Saidia maskini:)...Thx


word of caution..

Never use money you do NOT have to impress people you do not even care about..they eat and leave..you pay.. finances have a way to subdue the strongest of love..

spend only what YOU CAN AFFORD!

seriously..

being a church/music minister, and of age..and all my friends getting married..i sadly realise..we have the same circle of friends and fundraisng means forking out money atleast ten times.. and expecting them to folk out for mine too..d'oh! d'oh! There just HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY! seriously.
don't burden your friends by forcing commitment to give you cash.
..Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven...Matt5:16
