After having attended one of my friends wedding about a month ago am almost having second thoughts about the whole wedding thing.I just wouldn't understand how a milli would be spent like that.Its one thing if you can afford it but another thing if it leaves you in staggering debts.
Call it old school but i'd rather have a ''come we stay'' for now,than throw a big wedding that leaves mi ''unhappily ever after.''

@sparkly is very right.Women get it,men don't!....but at the end,unless you are out to show off,you can decide how cheap your wedding should be.I have witnessed two buddies of mine in a civil marriage and all it took was fuel for four cars,two gold rings and dinner for about 15 people.100K would be absolutely on the outside.

Those kind of men are idiots, full stop.

Weeeh, 2012. Stop misleading Wazuerians.

Why blow 500k on a ceremony that lasts one day and will probably usher you into a life of auctioneers, late rent payment, loan sharks and abject misery?

In 90% of the cases, the bride and groom are broke - and they pass on the stress to family and friends; try mentioning the word "pre-wedding" and all the contacts on your phone-book will be unreachable before you can say mteja.

I spent 4k on a cheap jacket, the marriage license, burgers, fries and drinks at Wimpy for me, wifey, the witnesses ad a couple of buddies - that was more than a decade ago...NA BADO TUKO!!!

A fancy wedding doesn't always translate into a happy marriage. The problem with Kenyans is what we Kyuk's call mûigerekanio - which is loosely translated to "trying to keep up with the Jones's".
