How to Prepare for your Wedding; 2. Borrow not! Borrowing for your wedding is not only a sin, it is acidic and has the capacity to ruin the joy of your new home for a long time. Whatever you want and you dont have money to buy is a sign that it isnt needed at that moment. What you want to buy for your wedding is nothing compared to the foundation you are laying for your new home. Just like I shared in my first point, it is necessary cum important to ensure you dont slaughter your marriage just because you want to have a glamorous wedding. Never, borrow anything! As an Emcee emeritus myself, I have seen where people actually plan with what they would be sprayed on their wedding day. Until very recently, I used to accept being payed after the wedding reception, but when I discovered that these new couple always have to calculate and calculate, balance here and balance there, to the extent, some can not even raise what was agreed, I opted to start collecting my full payment before the wedding, to avoid stories that touch. I have walked out of weddings after 3 hours of professional emceeing without a kobo, because the load on the heads of the man and wife thus mean they dont even have anything left on them let alone paying an emcee. At least, that becomes my own support for their marriage. All these are experienced because someone wanted to impress his in-laws, friends or even his spouse. If you need to buy a car, purchase a land or even a take a trip for an interview, it may take forever to get someone to loan you money, but when it is a wedding, hundreds of money lenders will be ready to give you any amount, because, wedding in itself is a good business. Borrowing is using your today to pay for your yesterday. Apostle Johnson Suleman. Now, whenever you borrow for your wedding, two (2) things are involved; (I). You actually begin your new family on a wrong foundation. Psalms 11 vs. 3 makes it clear that nothing else can be done on anything with a faulty foundation. Maybe you want to have a home on perpetual borrowing, if you dont want such, then avoid it at all cost. (II). You are keeping God out of your home. Borrowing in itself is occassioned by lack of trust and faith in God. When we borrow, we are saying God I dont trust you nor believe you can resolve this issue quickly, hence I am opting to do it my way. We make it clear to God, that we want to use other sources to helping ourselves. Infact, borrowing is an alternative to Gods supplies. So when we do so, we invariably keep God out of the order of our homes. No marriage began with borrowing enjoy peace. It is already a known fact that No man is happy when he is broke. Now, this doubles when he is in debt. When a man is not having cash at hand to do anything and now in debt occassioned by a wedding, I wonder what that wife can do to get his attention and love. These days, it is even the ladies pushing for a loan, so they can make a statement. To her, the wedding is a competition that she must win, hence, she can take money from anywhere just to buy those things and pay for that luxury. Well, she hasnt realise how the money will be paid back, but then again, there is the man to pay. Afterall, he wants to marry you na. Abi, he forget say, soup wey sweet, na money kill am? I laugh in isoko!. My brother, if what you have can not properly settle your wedding budget, postpone it. Dont allow any lady, in-laws, even your family and friends to push you to borrow. Or havent you thought of a small wedding that your money can settle? Afterall, there are so many marriages enjoying so much wealth today that had their weddings in sitting rooms only. Always remember that, there is life after the wedding. Start well and learn to live within your means. Sow your coat according to your cloth Blessings! To be continued... -king Joel AGHO
