A Nigerian man has canceled his wedding plans because his fiancée insists on having an extravagant N17 million ceremony.
The man, who shared his story anonymously with self-proclaimed relationship counselor Wizarab, disclosed that he became engaged to his lover on Valentine's Day and intended to marry her between September and December with an N6 million wedding budget.

His fiancee, on the other hand, insists on a lavish wedding that will be documented by Nigeria's most popular wedding blog. According to him, her suggested wedding gown costs approximately N800,000, and the total cost of the ceremony is approximately N17 million.
He stated that he cannot afford to spend so much on his wedding on his own and gave his fiancee the option of paying the remaining N11 million or canceling the wedding.
However, she remained steadfast in her position, and he has now made the difficult decision to cancel the wedding.
The man wrote,
“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.”
