In his words:
"We did our trad inside parlour in my wife's village. We did our trad a day before our church wedding. It was stressful but it's worth it. Trust me. My wife's idea. She doesn't even want to put canopy or DJ at all.
We did a no reception wedding. We invited our friends to church, gave souvenirs with food inclusive after church."
He added that his wife initially wanted a small, invitation-only ceremony with about 50 guests. However, more people attended than expected, and the final turnout was over 200 guests.
Despite the challenges, the man said the experience was worth it and proved that a beautiful wedding does not have to be expensive.
"My wife's idea, my wife is not a crowd/noisy person. Initially she wanted the wedding on strictly on invitation. I mean she just wanted us to have 50 attendees. We invited our family and friends but the crowd we had that day was about 200+ persons."
