Hi

[@imaabasienoch2552]

Great to watch! Thank you! 😀❤️

[@Oluwasemiloore]

Thank you Brandy! I'm not even engaged yet, but this is interesting. Although, I must say this and many reasons are why I prefer an intimate wedding. And thanks for the reality of the situation. People think it's so easy to do luxury weddings. Ladies, do what you can afford. And, what you will enjoy. There are also a lot of affordable vendors out there if you do a proper research. Brandy you are glowing! Hope you have a peaceful day❤

[@Oyinbrandy]

Thank you so much love!!! Honestly do what you can afford, research is very important!!!

[@gloriaaaa7211]

Love how informative this video wass, God bless you for not gatekeeping information

[@naturegirlbb100]

What a detailed planning. His Grace will be available. Amen.

[@vanessabrown7142]

Thanks a whole lot for this video,I don’t have a man yet but I am someone who likes to plan ahead of time.Getting informations like this is super helpful especially the cost part. Saving early is what I have started doing because Nigerian trad marriage no be play especially if you are in diaspora and your parents are living in Nigeria.

I'm a Kenyan who is amazed at how beautiful Nigerian weddings are. The photographers are indeed toptier💯. Thanks Brandy for the well detailed run-through. Can't wait to do my wedding. Definitely incorporating your advise ❤

[@254glow]

I have a question on the showering of money part in Nigerian weddings. What does it symbolise and is part of the budget?

[@teekayno14]

i enjoyed this video thank you :)

[@Oyinbrandy]

Glad you think, thank you 🤍🤍✨

[@tofunmiOA]

[@sadef8301]

I just started watching, but I like the transparency so far. Did you always want a Nigerian wedding, or did you consider costs in Canada too? Thanks for the video ❤ May God bless your home

[@Oyinbrandy]

Amen 🤍🤍 I already wanted a Nigerian wedding 🥰

[@fideliamarcel]

It’s me opening my mouth as she was calling the prices

[@amallawal4209]

[@tolanimary]

[@lifeofdidi2415]

💓💓💓

[@amallawal4209]

That’s why I will do my wedding in Nigeria! Even if I get married to a non-Nigerian, we are going back to Nigeria😂😂😂 Cause that Nigerian wedding!!! It has to it or nothing🫡

[@Oyinbrandy]

Sis!!!! Great quality plus reduced cost 🎉🎉 Just go back 🤧🤣

[@MsSadeBrown]

Thank you for all of this information. I will be getting engaged soon to a wonderful Igbo man. He wants a large traditional wedding. (He is a public figure). He'll be planning the wedding. I live in the US. He's in Nigeria.

[@thecostumesempire152]

Hi please how can I get the event flow it wasn’t clear

[@OVOXOIsMyMotto]

Hey could you post a link to wedding event sheet please?

[@jowoglover]

OMG! Oyin i literally have been searching for this video. I remember watching it earlier this year when I got engaged. Now I’m watching it again. My wedding is fast approaching and we have decided to also go for a one day wedding 😅. Could you please share your event flow? The screen shot wasn’t very clear. Thank you

[@Oyinbrandy]

Hello love, please send me an email [e-mail] 🙏🏾

[@jenn1810]

Hi Brandy, I just saw your pictures on Tosin Josh page and thought it was so beautiful. Currently planning my wedding and this was a great video. I am 🇨🇦 as well. Did you have to get a marriage certificate from🇳🇬 as well, after your civil wedding in 🇨🇦?

[@Oyinbrandy]

Hello love, no I did not. As long as you live in canada, you legal marriage certificate should only be gotten from where you are a resident. Since I’m Nigeria you’re just doing solemnization of you marriage( it’s really just a Ceremony and formality)

[@Bibzthebarb]

Weddings are definitely very pricey😮definitely enjoyed every bit of this video ❤

[@Oyinbrandy]

Thank you darling 🤍

[@theayoakin]

Chai! #o2inlove indeed🙌🏽🙌🏽… please, tell me not to add everything up… Thank God for 2019 o😂😂😂. #UpcomingBrides, The All Sufficient GOD will help you o. Like she said, DO WETIN YOU FIT AFFORD O, NO DO PASS YOURSELF. Kisses 😘

[@Oyinbrandy]

[@Estiasluxury]

Quick one, wedding dress rented or sewed?

[@e.a6453]

Wow, never knew food could get so expensive 😵‍💫

[@Oyinbrandy]

Sis it could’ve been more, we even cut down some things 😭😭

[@Teee_01]

Do you think an event planner will be needed if it's just trad, white wedding and court?

[@Oyinbrandy]

Yes definitely, mainly because of the trad 🤍

[@Teee_01]

@@Oyinbrandy oh wow. Thank youu 🥰 Mehn this is a huge step. Marriage is a huge step. 😩
