I got married yesterday at the Port Harcourt Marriage Registry. I paid a statutory fee of N15,500 and additional N5,000 for what the Registrar called “drink money”. Thereafter, I hosted 10 guests (including my wife and I) to a beautiful reception at Farrah Coffee Lounge, PH. To be clear, the guests were immediate family members as I wanted a private wedding.

Nnamdi also advised young men not to break the bank in order to have a big wedding ceremony, He wrote:
