The lady admitted that it wasn't the wedding of her dreams but they had to make good use of the resources at their disposal.
After trying on a variety of $1,500 (N621,750) dresses in a wedding shop, the bride ended up snapping up a $47 (N19,481.50) gown from budget-friendly fashion brand Shein.
Couple marry in an empty hall
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that photos from a couple's wedding occasion that had an empty hall had caused a stir.
Sharing photos of the church wedding on Facebook group Igbo Rant HQ, Vivian Chizoba thought:
''This is how a wedding should look like."
In the first frame, the couple were joined at an almost empty church wedding by a priest and moved on from there to a small reception.
The reception looked like that of a normal family having their meal over the dining. In another frame, the couple struck a pose with close friends and well-wishers who seemed to have been exclusively selected to grace the occasion.
