It doesn't matter if you don't have the resources, we think its our right to have friends contribute generously towards the wedding. These committees are nothing but fundraisers. I was invited to sit in a committee a few years back and to my utter amazement, the couple had already chosen all the they needed and just wanted help with the cash, from the songs to be played on the day right down to the vehicles they wanted. I never went back for the meetings. I thot kina macharia hawana hizo stingo.. what irkes me most is the wedding gowns which cost an arm and a foot and only worn mara moja... Ive always wondered if its right for committee members to also participate in airport landings etal since they have contributed for the union anyway.. from paying dowry, wedding, honeymoon, maternity bill etc.. NKT... afadhali come we stay na maisha iendelee..

A fellow (colleague)works as a messenger, earns about 10K pm, skips lunch but has a 200k wedding budget, which he expects us to raise... Sending SMSes day and night. WTF... the dude has never seen that kind of money in his account. I got wedding fatigued after attending committees, being treasurer , chairing etc. My motto is if you want me at your wedding, invite me. I will come to eat, with an appropriate gift but don't ask me for money. ITS YOUR CEREMONY NOT MINE. Life is short. Live passionately.

I did the same some years ago, and many of my friends openly told me that they wont contribute. Some brought me gifts at the wedding! We are still very good friends, no hard feelings

Some even have the nerve to invite "friends" and committee members for a thanks giving "goat eating" a couple of weeks after the wedding only for them to get there and realize you need to buy an overpriced "flower" which is basically entry fee. You get in and realize the "goat eating party" doesn't even have a goat . Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Rank: Member Joined: 10/26/2010 Posts: 125		I was so shocked when I was invited for a goat - eating party. I couldn't understand why I was asked to pledge! That is not a party( at least by the way I understand it ). Am very careful these days Why should sme1 spend 600k on a wedding when they face daily challenges of life. If you wait for fare to go down by 10 bob, struggle to pay rent, not paying for sme insurance (education insurance for your kids is very important ), don't own property ( land or a house etc. ) and you are planning such a wedding..........you are LOST! Problem is ..... thats what some ladies want. This shows on TV are dangerous. They want their weddings to also appear on TV looking glamourous. No wonder some dudes look distraught. And the problem is, 2 years down the line the marriage will be non-existent.
