Amazing read. My wedding was last month and I can relate with all that you have written. For me and my groom, we decided not to have a church wedding and went ahead to plan a beautiful garden setting exchange of vow very early in the morning and then focused on the traditional wedding for the rest of the day. That saved us a lot of stress.
Our budget was lesser than yours as we wanted to keep it simple but we ended up exceeding the budget like you did. The Nigerian factor!
For us, we had planned an initial guest count of 150 but later extended to 200. It was a week day wedding so we eventually had people who could not attend. Perfect plan as that reduced the guest list! We made sure to communicate to our parents what we wanted and they went along with the plan. An adult should be able to take control of their own wedding in my opinion and not have their parents hijack it.
Overall we had a beautiful wedding because it was properly planned by our amazing planner. We enjoyed our own wedding as well as our families and friends. We still get positive reviews to date.
You have spoken well boss…..
