i agree with the person who said weddings are just another show-off thing.why would you budget for somthing you dont have-in this case a wedding beyond your earnings? if one wants a big wedding,a 5 year savings plan would be a good idea or better yet go get a sacco loan then pay with the money you will get from the wedding gifts.

a bigger rip-off are the dowry stuff...i mean this is a gal one wants to make his wife so why should you ask for help from buddies i mean let them support you if they can but dont go asking for it..!!


A little Blindness is necessary when you undertake Risk.

@mc.....'say u r not planning to wed soon if u cant get the support from pals'

U will be surprised sooner than later when u will be invited for a wedding party to celebrate and witness;but not to help in monetary contribution.

The BIG Q is;why should someone help u do a wedding.especially during this tough economic period of our lifetime?

Impunity wacha wewe,that will not happen soon,si najua hivo!!!!

Picture this,you refuse to be part of a wedding committee of any of your friends or relatives and then at some point in time you will need to clear massive hospital bills which will then be crirical.......you start calling your friends and relatives and your guesse is as well as mine,kwani mbona wewe unakuwa mgonjwa when you dint have enough money to clear your hospital bills.......these things are embedded and related,wembe utakuwa ni ule ule!!!!!



The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

@mc.......I will support any of my pals and 'strangers' in serious need to clear hospital bill or seek further medical assistance;I will even go further to buy pampers for a pal's new kid;I can also assist him pay the school fees when a fundraising party is organised.

But I will be highly (re-read HIGHLY) relactant to contribute more than 5 cent to help him/her wed.WHY???There is no justification at all.Pure exploitation of poor me...

It's actually something worth thinking about. I know several couples who've planned small weddings to fit their means only for them to fall out with many friends and relatives who were not invited. Maybe it's best to get an Ag's certificate to legalize the union then budget for a wedding party much later. I think we're still stuck in an old mind set
