Nigerian American Wedding Cost Breakdown - Exposing how much we spent on everything

[@doreennyambuka3835]

I love the transparency! It’s rare to find couples that are open with their finances when it comes to the wedding, especially down to the T!

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

Thank you! We’re just here to be real Lol

[@lizsogo9337]

My guess was $50k. Love this video and y’all’s attitude on being transparent and open. We know that’s not typical in our culture. I see Nigerians having this big expensive weddings and I always wonder the true cost and how they were able to afford it. We all don’t come from rich families lol. I always say after I get married I would make a video similar to this. I will even share how we paid for it because I know it will help someone else out lol. Thank God for quarantine and all these intimate weddings I been seeing. I’m now inspired for my wedding. I don’t plan on spending over $40k on my wedding. It will be a really nice intimate wedding with just close and family (P.s. this may just be me talking now 🤣)

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

Good guess! Ahhh I’m excited for your wedding 👀😍! And 40k is possible for sure. I think ours would have been a lot more but we cut major costs in the outfits/accessories category. We don’t come from money either so it was about making sure we were happy and then not breaking the bank. We were torn between YOLO and let’s calm down every day while planning 😂

[@allysonlafrance977]

Hey Queen! We got married in Dallas in January. We spent just shy of $20K. :) My original budget was $15K.

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

Congratulations again 😍 lol yea sticking to an exact budget can be tough but y’all were close

[@fancyface2848]

[@nuellasnuggets]

$60,000 for only white wedding? how about trad?

[@lmitchell7450]

Beautiful wedding. I spent 15k on my beach wedding in Ft Lauderdale FL

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

Thank you! I bet your wedding was beautiful

[@Rm-wv2xp]

Beautiful wedding! Can you share your vendor names? Planning dfw African wedding too and need suggestions

[@usmlebox6420]

The 60K includes the 15K paid to the wedding planner?

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

We didn’t spend 15k on a wedding planner

[@usmlebox6420]

MYLIFEISQUEEN The wedding planner is quite overpriced (about 5x the average ) unless you’re doing a royal wedding which is understandable in this case given that your name is queen.

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

We didn’t spend 15k on a wedding planner

$2,000 for trad is amazing!

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

Yup! It was at our house

[@SteelFanHan]

Did y’all have a MC? If so how much did they charge?

[@adebolaaguda9276]

How were you able to send invites to some people for the intimate traditional and not others

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

We just did it. Our family and friends understood that not everyone could come due to space.

[@adebolaaguda9276]

@@mylifeisqueen3413 got it! Did you send physical invites or digital and did some get traditional and not the others? In the this dilemma currently and trying to navigate what makes sense

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

@@adebolaaguda9276 ohhh! Only the white wedding was on the invitation. The trad was a digital invite and word of mouth. It wasn’t even on our website.

[@true1lyn]

Damn that’s a lot of money. Y’all got that bag sheesh💸

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

I wish! We saved for it for about a year and a half

[@true1lyn]

MYLIFEISQUEEN, ohhh that makes sense

[@iceguyoo]

Where did y'all buy your rings

[@rickyajones7292]

I say y'all spent $85,000

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

Nope! But that’s close. A lot of my friends spend that much

[@Alimaway]

Do they shower the couple with big bills or small? From clips and Nollywood movies it looks like a lot ooooo lol

[@mylifeisqueen3413]

It’s almost always $1 bills in the US. In Nigeria sometimes they use larger bills since the currency conversion is different lol

[@adele-marlenendume689]

20000 🤔

Lol good guess! I wish
