What other cost cutting measures are you looking at? wedding ya Friday afternoon?(only people who consider you worth it will make it no matter what) ama is it AG's then a small bash jioni for friends and family.... Hehehe...cost cutting measures ni lazima! But no, engagement ring ni yangu for life. About the wedding day, actually we will have it on a Friday but its mostly because am a Sunday churchgoer while Mr Right is a Saturday churchgoer so to solve the tussle over when our wedding day would be, Friday was a good compromise. Not to be nosy, or to hijack your thread, but haven't both of you resolved this? I think it is a good idea for both of you to decide which day to go to church. soon. Minimize the points of departure between yourselves, and you will minimize the conflicts in your marriage.

Mmmh, just to let Wazuans in on my thoughts, my decision to hire a gown was informed by lots of considerations, some mentioned here on this post by like-minded Wazuans. To be honest, my wedding day will be the most important day of my twenties, and definitely one of the most important of my life, and am really working to see that it as near perfect as can be. My decision to have a church and not an Ag's wedding (money being the most obvious contributor to my choice to hire a gown)is a matter of religion, faith etc etc. I want to start my married life in a certain way, and this is it. That said, a church wedding need not cost an arm and a leg. Me and Mr Right are not going to splash what we dont feel is not necessary to spend cash on, and we certainly dont have cash to splash. Now, most brides wear their wedding gowns once, and I think passing a gown to the daughter twenty two or so years down the line is mmmmh...more farcical than real unless the bride in question is a member of the Royal Family. Am undoubtedly going to wear the most beautiful gown I can lay my eyes on for a monies I can lay my hands off, and as I just need it for a day... So yes, @ Elder, mtush it is!
Thanks again Wazuans...keep posting. Contrary to my earlier thoughts on you, you seem to have a good head screwed on your shoulders. My apologies. Congratulations and may you have a happy wedding and a successful marriage. He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son.

I take it you are of the persuasion that mature people like you cannot be mad. What influences your cut off point or standard for maturity? Please do tell.

See my response to your sidekick above on this. Maybe you two should get some mitumba gowns and hitch up. MaichBlack wrote:Hapo umenena kama wazee saba. And the people who make the loudest noise are the biggest pretenders. I wouldn't be surprised to find the so called @elder in an isolated corner buying some personal garments [see number 1 on intelligensia's list - post #25] after having a mtumba lunch - I'm told it is called kadhalika or changanya or something like that - they mix all the food from the previous day - only to [later] talk boisterously to anyone who would care to listen about his shopping sprees in London, Milan and the far east. You don't like tasking your mind one bit? I had issues with a mtumba wedding dress not with mtumba. Okay? and for your information what you call mtumba lunch is staple food to many Kenyans myself included. The way you try to distance yourself to that food by claiming that 'I'm told' (yeah told coz you are too hang up on your shopping trips to Londan and Milano to know about them) makes me think that you have your character spot on.

Dear Members,
@lisaox surely appreciates all the good cheer and feedback. We note however the last few posts are becoming heated.
Stop - take a moment - calm down - and consider your fellow member before making further hasty posts.

@ Lisaox, You have good ideas. Just two things. Do not save on food. The wedding day is for the village. Lazima tukule mchele tushibe! Secondly, agree with the man where you go to church mapema. The same faith helps alot. The rest is up to you! I Think Therefore I Am

Good gal... Its good to see a character like you who can go against the tide. do what you feel is right for you... its your day after all not theirs.... If it makes you happy to be frugal with your money, let no-one push you.
I have a friend who wedded last month and might be your size, will check if she can let you hire and let you know. It's fabulous if you get it.. expensively beautiful...
@Liz....Unfortunately, my friend is still so attached to the gown she declined to hire it.... heheheheheee.. she might get over it after the honeymoon may be..
