If all goes well,I'm planning to have a wedding early Dec 2009.

I do not have have any money at the moment and I'm able to save 10K monthly starting Jun 2009.

Please give your contribution on how I can realize the dream.

Thank you

Congrats r in order. I do hope u r affiliated to some church thus hav some premarital counsellin..

I must say..gettin a weddin committee and tying people to contribute is the most expensive,selfish,extortion practice in most churches today!..and abuse of friendship! Arm twisting guys to finance your happiness! Your own happiness?

If u can't afford the weddin u want..don't thro a lavish stressfull thing..

talk to ur pastor about ur financial status..
After all..a wedding needs only the marryin couple..officiating pastor..2witnesses..u can get married in the church offices and hav lunch after that!

If ur wife to be is well aware n understands ur financial situation..get a small...SMALL wedding in church office then later on in life throw out a HUGE 'weddin ceremony'!!..when u can afford it bila hustle.

@Jammo,so hot sir?

Bishop is not looking for money,rather some gems on what he can do,given that he will save 10K per month. Anyway Bishop,kudos on that - keep it small and sweet - quality not quantity. Involve as few people as possible (your respective parents,bride and priest/pastor/vicar...period).

I've seen wedding plans take on a life of their own - caution your bride about seeking advice from her friends - maybe just her best maid - for the pit of advice is both bottomless and infinite smile

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@chaka.......We dont hold weddings at AG chambers,we get married there.(wedding is a party!)

@Bishop.....You cant realise your dream by Dec 2009,at 10K per month and in Nairobi my advice to you is to continue dreaming aleast for the next 30 Months starting June 2009.Kudos..


Which is more dirty,the pig or Kenyan mp?

@Impunity - really? Someone's really conceited here. Bishop,here is the deal - you do NOT want to spend more than you can afford and for your honeymoon have DEBT. You also want to live and get married within your means. I have seen people raise 500k for a wedding,go to Lamu on a honeymoon and return to a bed sitter. Screw that! I have seen people fork out nearly a million on a wedding and because that heightens expectations,esp on the bride's part - who,after the fairy tale wedding - expects a fairytale happily ever after (also to keep up impressions with all the guests who were 'wowed' by the wedding),then they get in marital issues within six months.

Small and sweet Bishop - its YOUR life. Not Impunity's. Not mine. Screw this issue of pleasing everyone for you will end up miserable and having pleased NO ONE.

@ Bishop,

That is a nice way to go.....but even as you put things together always keep in mind that simple is sophisticated.

best advise......

raise what you can.......then budget on that...

bare minimum....

Wedding gown........... 10,000/-......

Groom's outfit...... look for a nice colourful kitenge shirt....... 1500/-

rings.... 5,000/-...

church...... 7,000/-

wedding grounds....... 15,000/-

chakula..... 30,000/-.......

total.... 68,500/-...

you would have raised 70,000/-

you will have enough to go round....

for extras....

ask your partner to chip in kidogo......say 20,000/-

family...... 30,000/-....

and your pals......50,000/-.....
