A Twitter user identified as @Antss1j has revealed that his uncle just settled the sizable loan he took to fund his wedding in 2013.
He said the man borrowed £80,000 (approximately N163 million) and he paid it off in installments over the space of a decade since he first got married.
The tweep shared; “My uncle told me he just paid off his 80k wedding from 2013. A decade of instalments for one day lol. Yes GBP”

Reacting, @arrtnem said; Wedding costs are the ultimate test of love, or maybe just financial tolerance. Wonder if the marriage or the debt gets more attention over those years.
@MotivateYouTube; That is madness! If he invested that money in something decent he probably could have doubled that 🤦🏽♂️
@theamoreagncy; You all should know that whether it’s an expensive or inexpensive wedding, it’s still the same. You should think about your future, not just one day’s worth of celebration, because there are still bills to pay coming up after that day
Meanwhile, in similar news…
CorrectNG recalls that a Nigerian man appealed to the public to support his wedding financially because he was incapable of handling it all.
The guy sent an email to a Non-governmental organisation, Halal Foundation to intercede on his behalf and make his situation known to Nigerians.
In a letter he wrote, the Kaduna state indigene said his parents died when he was still in secondary school and he expressed hopes of getting the support he needs.
The man also listed items which are needed for the wedding and released the prices in dollars. Most of the items of the list are clothes and clothing accessories which range from $50 to $100 while the one thing that stood our was his house rent which he said is $250 dollars.
The young man’s letter read in part:
Request for Marriage Funding Assistance
I, Hassan, am writing to beg financial support for my upcoming marriage. My parents died when I was in Senior Secondary two, and I am a native of Katsina State, Nigeria, where I had my elementary and secondary education (2). Later, I went to Polytechnic and earned a diploma in Computer Science.
I put my complete mind and confidence on your side, knowing that by God’s grace, you will help me opt out of the crucial circumstance I find myself in with whatever you intend to provide me as my marriage will be done on March 3rd, 2023 by next year by God’s grace. I would be quite grateful if you could support and assist me in carrying out my marriage without the need for a loan from a bank or making me feel concerned.
