Wedding Loan

I recently watched a video online which made me laugh so hard. I had to post it on my WhatsApp status and for the first time, I got lots of replies from that single video.

I'm still wondering what will make someone take a loan just to take care of their wedding expenses. The funniest thing about this is that these set of people tend not to cut their cloth according to their size. They don't consider the fact that they took a loan for their wedding and most times, they go ahead planning the wedding in a grand style.

These set of people always have this thought that they will get back the money during the marriage when people start spraying them. It's a pity these set of people don't know that anything can happen during the marriage and people might end up not spraying them enough money as they would have expected. Should they not get enough money from the spraying and gifts, how would they pay back the loan?

Let's go back to the video I watched that made me laugh out so loud. In the video, the groom rushed out of the wedding hall ranting that he won't be dancing anymore. He was very angry that people were spraying him 50naira notes which is one of the least currencies we have in Nigeria. He was expecting that people would be spraying him either 200naira, 500naira or a thousand naira. However, he got the shock of his life and this made him so angry and disappointed.

His Best Man pleaded with him continuously to go back inside, but he refused. You need to see how he was complaining bitterly, asking if they know how much he spent on the marriage that they will be spraying him such a little amount of money. He was sure expecting the best, but he forgot to prepare for the worst.

A lot of people gathered and pleaded with him to go back and continue with the dance since some persons were still inside waiting for him, but he refused. His bride became so confused and was already crying. She pleaded with him to go back inside, but he still refused even after she told him that he must continue the dance whether he likes it or not. He didn't even bother looking at her, all he did was to remove his suit and maintained his stand that he won't be dancing anymore.

I bet what was on his mind that moment was how he will be able to pay back the loan he collected. So sad what he was expecting, wasn't what he got. I really feel for him but was leaving the wedding hall the right thing to do?

Why take a loan to do organize your wedding when you don't have a feasible plan on how to pay back the money? Why do a lavish wedding when you don't have such income? I really feel we all need to cut our coat according to our cloth. Don't aim for what you know you don't have enough money for.

Marriage is a good thing, but why take a wedding and after the marriage, you stay hungry since you are focused on paying back the loan you collected? We should be wise when it comes to things like this. I really wish we can ponder on these things and make wise decisions whenever it's time for us get married.

I'm not yet married, but that's not because I don't want to get married now, it's because the finance isn't there to do so now. I don't want to take a wedding loan and that's why I'm working so hard, so I can give my bride her dream wedding without any thoughts of how I will be paying back the loan.

Things like this brings embarrassment and disgrace and that's one of the things I hate so much in my life. I hope we learn from this.
