A Nigerian guy has canceled his planned wedding because his fiancee insisted on a lavish N17 million wedding.
The man, who shared his story anonymously with self-styled relationship counselor Wizarab, stated that he proposed to his fiancée on Valentine’s Day and intended to marry her between September and December, with an N6 million wedding budget.
His fiancée, on the other side, insists on an elaborate wedding that would be covered by Nigeria’s largest wedding blog. According to him, her suggested bridal gown alone is over N800,000, and the total wedding cost is around N17 million.
He indicated that he could not afford to spend so much money on his wedding on his own and gave his fiancée the option of paying the remaining N11 million or canceling the wedding. However, she stood firm, and he has now made the difficult decision to call off the wedding.

“I engaged my girl on Feb. 14 and now we are planning for the wedding for sept/dec the problem now is that my budget is N6m she is saying it is too small while her own budget is about N17m I don’t have a problem with that if she is going to balance it up. She says it is my responsibility or else the wedding is off.
She wants a glamorous wedding like those bella naija types. Only the wedding gown is about N820k, she is trying to gaslight me saying she knows I have the capacity I am just being stingy. And I have told her I am not going above my budget cause my 2nd house is still under construction and business is going smooth as before.
Well, I told her if she doesn’t comply or balance it up I am calling off the wedding. Am I overreacting? Imagine me spending close to N20m just to marry. That’s my 3 months income. This is somebody I bought a corolla for o.”
