This is absolutely on point sir and I couldn't agree less. This post has provided wisdom and answers bordering on having a decent wedding where God is glorified and stakeholders are pleased.
When I made the decision I was going to marry my wife, I knew that I wasn't going to marry another person.
I travelled home to Calabar to inform my parents. My parents are quite progressive when it comes to intertribal marriage (theirs was an intertribal marriage and all their children have intertribal marriages) so I didn't expect them to have a problem with my wife being from Plateau state.
When I made the journey home and informed them I had found a lady I wanted to marry, after they confirmed that she was a follower of Jesus, they gave their blessing.
Then Dad called me aside. This was 2019. He asked me "how much do you have?". My reply was simple enough. "God".
My Dad is a pastor so he knows that trick. His reply was "okay we thank God, so how much have you kept aside for your wedding "? My reply was a scripture God gave me as I was praying about my marriage from Matthew 22:2 "a certain King which made a marriage for his son".
I told my Dad that I didn't have money, and if I was going to wait until I did I don't know when I'll get married. But God has told me he will make a marriage for me so that's why God is how much I had. He said okay.
When the wedding planning began, my wife and I decided to tell our parents that we wouldn't want to do a reception because we couldn't afford something expensive. We fought over that. My mother couldn't believe her ears. How can her first son not have a wedding reception π.
She tried to talk to my wife, thinking I had manipulated her, when she discovered my wife was firmer than I was on the matter, I started receiving calls from my Uncles "how do you want to do a wedding without a reception?"
My answer was simple. I couldn't afford it. I told them we were more interested in spending money on our honeymoon than a reception.
My mum got angry. She said I was selfish and she wasn't going to attend my wedding. I said no problem. (Don't try this at home).
My Dad had to step in and asked me to apologize to my mum for making her angry and promise to be a good child.
I did. We reconciled. But we were back to where we started.
Because my wife and I had said we couldn't afford a reception so we weren't going to have one.
Our parents (mine and my wife's) then came together and decided to do the reception.
We were glad. As long as we weren't going to finish our money at a reception, fine. We could give what we had to contribute.
Well, in the end, I can't remember how much of my personal money went into the wedding (all my money went into dressing my wife and buying the personal things she needed on the list). God used our parents to do a massive wedding feast for us.
Our hall was paid for by my father in-law, my parents paid for some of the food and drinks. My in-laws handled a very large portion of the refreshments.
We had a feast as if I was the son of a King, and my money wasn't inside.
At the end of the day, I had so much money left that we could invest in an acre of land to farm. My wife had the honeymoon experience of her childhood dreams. Everybody was happy.
My plan was God.
It is still God.
And he always shows up.
Those of you waiting for your crypto coin to pump before you marry, you'll be shocked to learn the hard way that the Egyptians are men and not spirits.
Very true bro. It takes intentionality and continuous self motivation to finish. I just signed up for an online course that's meant for a couple of months. My mind was like in 1 month, I go run am. Sighs! Ase nah just 1 course I finish out of 8 courses. Geez!
Learning has to be one of the most demanding task any human can take on.
It even becomes more tasking if it is any form of self learning like learning a skill using YouTube or buying a course on Udemy
