what's this annoying marriage trend where intending couples open a WhatsApp group and add a lot of supposed friends, family members and acquaintances, with a sole aim of soliciting for funds.
It's weird to me and just see it as a civil way of begging.
Why not just send individual invites and ask for support rather than add people to a group without seeking their consent.

Anybody wey try that shit with me I go
insult am before i block am and I no go attend the useless wedding, na by force to marry? Even my siblings no go fit follow me try that rubbish

That's funny. Not been invited to any group like that.

Naija hard. Any way na way.

Not long ago, Nairaland was complaining of brides wearing comfortable shoes instead of heels for their weddings. One literally has to beat ignorance out of many Nigerians.

If they can't afford wedding, should they do one in the first place? What happened to keeping it low-key, just ikoyi registry with few family members?

A man with everything in the world will always accept gifts. I don’t think it’s a shortage which troubles them. In the cases I know, the people want extra money. The wedding was long settled, but awoof too sweet.

Don’t think too much into it. Donate if you have. Jump and pass if you don’t.

Just heard of this now...anyway I'm glad I don't have hungry people as my close friends therefore the chance of my being added to such a group is almost nil!

A relationship where you will have to solicit for funds before you can proceed with the wedding should not stand.

Is as a result of all these girls force guys to marry them. You know girls know how to beg very well? Now, they are pushing all these SIMP into doing shameless things.

9ja girls don't love and dey will never love.

They are nothing but useless. All of them...

Know this and know peace

they call it committee of friends. Only few of us refused to do it.

Two of my cousins have stopped talking to me. Na this same issue cause am. They added me on WhatsApp to solicit fund for marriage. I say I'm not supporting anybody financially to get married because no be me send you go marry. If you think you done become man, be ready to do what men do. I'm not married myself, why should I give you money to marry? My only support to your marriage is to honor the invitation and celebrate it with you. Yes, I will give you envelope but not before the wedding. You should do wedding according to your pocket not according to what your friends and family are able to contribute.

It's called committee of friends and you wouldn't be added to the group if you aren't close to the person cos from what I've experienced it's reserved for very close people who have something doing (a job or business), so supporting your friend or family member on his or her wedding shouldn't be an issue.

Friend A invited me, I contributed.
Friend B invited me, I am yet to contribute.
Friend A invited Friend B, but Friend B is yet to contribute to Friend A.
Until Friend B contributes to Friend A, then I will contribute to Friend B too.
Friend A must contribute to Friend B else, I will ask for a refund after Friend B gets married.

Friend A is getting married before Friend B.
Friend A started his committee first, else I would have waited for Friend A to contribute to Friend B and vice versa before I will contribute to both.
I am not even married, not planning to anytime soon.
