An aide to the Delta State Governor has applauded a couple who reportedly tied the knot with less than ₦50,000, describing their modest wedding as a refreshing example of love without unnecessary financial pressure.
The couple’s decision to keep their ceremony simple has sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians commending them for prioritising their marriage rather than taking on debt to finance an elaborate wedding.
The governor’s aide said the couple had demonstrated that the success and happiness of a marriage should not be measured by the size or cost of the wedding ceremony.
He further commended the couple for proving that love, commitment and responsible financial choices can take precedence over extravagant celebrations.
The couple’s modest approach has also generated discussions about the growing cost of weddings in Nigeria, with supporters saying couples should be free to celebrate their unions according to their means rather than societal expectations.
For many Nigerians, the story has become a reminder that a happy marriage does not necessarily have to begin with a lavish wedding.
