Perfect Reasons to marry only during December Season. Yea! six days to Xmas!

  

 I sit down imagining myself on my wedding day, a well polished bride, smelling good, makeup perfect, with golds all around my accessories, then am taking a wine to my hubby who is busy smiling and licking his lips in anticipation, pikin can't wait for the wine, I reach to him, bends and hands over the drink as a typical Igbo belle, then he collects, about to drink, we both turn confused, no cheers from friends and well wishers so it made me start crying. Though this isn't reality, it may happen, I don't want it for me and you either. It is just a chip, relax and see better reasons why you should marry during Xmas period.

*Pre-wedding Shoot - It won't cost you anything since you are using the Xmas theme, both of you become Santa creatively, you sha know nobody has that theme. It's perfect just visit people or company Xmas trees and take your shots as you don't need much for that except strolling with the photo man, who knows if there may be bonanza for pictures, every soul will tag it, "lovely".

*Aso-ebi - No one will be able to give you reasons why dey can't join, they should have saved enough money for your wedding by now, and money for Christmas too, besides, they should use the money for their Xmas and New year wears to get powerful aso-ebi wears and shoes. 

*Gifts - Every adult have people to cater for during Xmas, either in form of bag of rice or wrappers. Tell them you are wedding and have finished all you have. Every Tom, Dick and Harry knows wedding cost much, they will understand and know this year Xmas gifts has been made for wedding because even if you wed November, they will still demand for Xmas presents. 

*IV - No need for invites, people are free and will always come since it's holiday, oral broadcast will do or better still send a #1500 customized SMS to five hundred people, that is if you need too many quests. People contact each other during Xmas so it won't be stressful. For special guest a bottle of wine each will do and the wedding Invitation is over, least I forget, if you are not into friends, you don't attend peoples wedding, save yours for Xmas because even uninvited quest will come to pass time in your hall.

*Transport - Village or township, you know where your friends are. If venue is the Villa, sure they will all travel for Xmas, so your wedding ain't causing the traveling expenses because it's already in their budget to go home for Xmas.

*Food - Remember the bags of rice you buy for some old women during Xmas, it's suspended, you just use all the food stuffs and ingredients to make the food for the day. They will understand besides you have enough people to cook the food if you don't want to contract it, we are at your service, rice, beans, native soups, who makes it better than your friends and relative? Caterers na #wash#. 

*Suit/Gown - Does it mean you don't give yourself treats during the festive season? Additional Kobo to make it Suit or wedding gown won't change anything.

*Hall - There is always a decorated used hall, you do just ask the decorator to leave it that way, add some little notes to their palms, no need washing the materials, only sweeping will do and if people complain the seats clothes are dirty, no need to worry, just tell them it's Harmattan, a season for dust. Some of your guests may even come dusty.

*Drinks - LMAO Just take the money you spend during hangouts with the guys throughout December and see if guests won't drink to stupor. If you want an excuse for your drinking mates, tell them the wedding is taking your time. Remember that when you are broke they won't contribute.

              Finally, Guess What?

*Bonanza! - Yea! Xmas is Bonanza season, there is always a percentage discount in almost everything including salt. Your hall will have discount, even makeup and gifts for quests, whether your quest are satisfied or not, they won't complain because there is always some other place to visit for an occasion, same day, any time.

The fact remains that if you want to save cost, the time to marry is December. There will always be balance for Actual cost and reasonable guests.
           Love you all.
