About to wed?
A thread on things you must know
before starting the wedding plans !

RT to help enlighten those on your
TL .

Welcome😘
1)
Your wedding is undisputedly a big day , so don't trade the moments on the table of mediocrity .
Get a Wedding planner to plan with you ! (Notice I didn't say for you ) you might think this is quite obvious but from experience! There's one Iya shukura or ....

Iya Gideon somewhere , A family friend or a church member that someone will highly recommend and you will have to accept because family first ! At the end of the day Premium tears😭 and you won't be able to really 'para' for the person ! Get a Wedding planner .

2)
With your wedding planner carefully rub through your budget ! Yes have a budget ! No matter the scale of the wedding you have in mind ! Run a budget ! I have seen young couples run into serious debts because they are freestyling their finances for the wedding
Note Every kobo!

3) your vendors !
😂😂 I'm laughing because what will make or mar your wedding ceremony is in the hands of absolute strangers .
The MC , photo and video grapher , make up artist , caterer , event decor , sound and music . Ushers Etc
To be honest with you , it's two sided ...

Remember what I said about working with your Wedding planner . Most times you have people from your corner that do these jobs , so allow and trust your wedding planner to Nail it accurately ! Try not to force ideas so when it bashes ! You can open your chest to ask for a refund

Music policy:
Omo there's been conversations around either Dj , Live band or both !
This depends on your budget and your pocket 😅.
If you can afford it ! Just do what suits you !
4) Aso ebi and the Hidden business 🙄
Don't allow anyone pressure you into .......

Joining the bandwagon of making cool cash to fund your wedding by selling Aso ebi😬 ! The attitude stinks , if you can go through the stress of Aso ebi for uniformity fine, if you can't , just pick colours ! You won't die !

5) Fund your wedding without Expecting to get your money back on the dance floor 🙄.
Kai people are ridiculous ! Don't make your wedding another crowdfunding avenue!
Don't do dance ! dance ! dance and get your guests infuriated with your extortionist tendencies.

I think I will stop here
Maybe there should be a part two !
Before you go I'm A wedding MC also so you could slide into my dm to book me for your wedding reception!
If you need any advice concerning an aspect of your wedding my dm is open also !
Ciao 😘
