Fell in love with this couple straight up for choosing a low budget wedding. I respect your wisdom.

[@ijeomageorge8683]

Just do what you know it will make you comfortable. If you follow people mouth you miss road

[@Dfabfamily]

Thanks for watching

[@kehindealuko7474]

This is how we also did our introduction also, we went to registry and also called our friends to do makeup, decoration,photography, catering and everything at an affordable amount of money for our traditional wedding. The wedding was very interesting and we never own anyone after the wedding. Our marriage is a month now 💃🏻 and I’m happy we did it the way we want it.

[@Dfabfamily]

What I love to hear 🥰 Congratulations!!! 🕺🏽 Your home is blessed

[@justicejoycetv]

May I learn whar was the budget amount and actual amount? I'm a foreigner trying to manage and it would be nice to get an idea of what things really costs before my accent pours out.

[@adetunjitemitope6759]

Wow!!! This analysis is explicit. I intend to have a low budget wedding too. Thanks for explaining how you did yours.

I’m really liking you both. I stumbled unto your video today on your husband’s experience at his warehouse job and since then I’ve been binge watching your videos. I’m really enjoying your videos Aww it was so good that the pastor agreed. That can only be God. Protocol broken for your sake I love your wedding dress. You did good sis. In UK, people are now doing weekday wedding because it helps to reduce prices on vendors, halls etc

Thanks so much for this video, it going to help us in planning ours too. Please my questions is, how much did you end up spending while getting your wedding gown, I mean buying of the fabric/material because I have a Sister that sew. Thanks

[@Dfabfamily]

We will try to get the exact price. We can’t really remember most of the prices because we went to the market to get everything ourselves, including the gown and suit materials. Thank you very much for watching

[@Dfabfamily]

Thank You ☺️

[@SandraAlladice]

The main thing is that you got married and see eye to eye. Both of you are sensible people. The cakes were lovely, also your wedding gown. If you're working within a budget, you cannot go over it, that's the reality. I like the fact that you didn't make a big elaborate wedding and end up being in debt after it was all over. 🎉

Hello. Thanks very much for sharing your wonderful wedding. Your trend of thought resonates very well with me. Mine was awesome outside home. The traditional was at home and I had a marriage blessing by my pastor with 20 close friends. We are 17yrs married today and EU 🇪🇺 settled for decades.

[@amolejohnson6106]

Nice tips. 👍

[@Dfabfamily]

😇

[@LIGHTBEARERVISIONARY]

This is very insightful My question is about the planning, did you guys spend all the money yourself or is it just the groom family or both parent joined together!

[@Dfabfamily]

Thank you for watching. We spent our money (husband and wife) on our basic needs (like clothes, shoes, hall, cake, decoration, ring, logistics for ourselves and the likes). The families cooked separately so each family sorted their food depending on the number of guests they invited. We planned for 50 per family even though we had a little bit more. The grooms family sorted the bride price list.

[@Lolo_Odogwu]

My question is the list given to the husband what are the items Thier please

You’re very welcome. It’s been about 5 years now and we think they relocated. We’ll just confirm and get back to you.

[@flaki8393]

Lovely content! Even if money is no object, it makes good sense not to lavish money on the ceremony. Do you mind sharing what your budget was and the year?

[@Dfabfamily]

Between 400k and 500k, 2019 Thank you very much for watching

[@Teee_01]

Was the budget inclusive of the clothes you both wore and all the accessories?

[@oluwatosinbabalola653]

Really love this. Is it possible to have the caterers contact for an upcoming event? Also low budget wedding is stress-free, I particularly dont like stress or thousands call because of an event.

[@Dfabfamily]

Exactly. Thank you for that contribution. We don’t have the caterer’s contact anymore, as it’s been more than 3 years now. We’ll try to get in touch though, if we can get her contact, we’ll get it across to you. Thank you.

[@adenikeadelakun3574]

Thanks a lot but video is cracking ooo me and my fiance we are not financially boyant I need your help I also want a low budget wedding

Planning my introduction by April

[@Dfabfamily]

That’s great!

[@nyalovebychi]

That's great news! When will you plan the wedding? :)

[@ezimorahajokegrace725]

Another thing is, we are also planning on having a low budget wedding, but the thing is there's no how I can do it that I won't end up offending alot of people, because of the kind of job I'm into, am a teacher and it's my Mum that also own the school. So I think to me, that part is challenging.

[@Dfabfamily]

The people you think you’ll offend aren’t an important part in your marriage. Anyone who gets offended with your decision and holds a grudge doesn’t really love and respect you. I understand the feeling to gather friends and colleagues to rejoice with you. If you can afford it, it’s very nice. If you can’t, just focus on the purpose, which is the wedding and marriage.

[@OjoYetundeRacheal-hy2dm]

I will really love to do this but I come from polygamous family,so am confused on how to fix it How can I arrange it pls,am thinking of inviting only my siblings

[@Dfabfamily]

Fab Daddy is also from a polygamous family. He invited only his immediate siblings to avoid complications and family drama. A lot depends on you and your spouse. You are in the position to decide what you want for your marriage and you must be able to stand your ground especially with your parents. Also, pray hard!

[@Chimdi-ft3uj]

Indeed if God cannot fix it No one can

[@Dfabfamily]

Yes!

[@MosesOlaoluwa-tb5jf]

What if you want to do your church wedding in a different place, like the grooms church because of cost And you where denied of it, and denied of wedding as a whole What should I do?

[@Dfabfamily]

There’s no straight answer because this question raises other questions like why was it denied? Ultimately, there’s always a way out.
