A Nigerian couple, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Udu, marked their union with a modest wedding ceremony, adhering to a budget of just N50k.
The couple, now identified as Mr. and Mrs. Udu Lucky Obukohwo, exchanged vows on Saturday, March 16, 2024.
The inspiration for their minimalist approach to wedding planning stemmed from the advocacy of Ossai Ovie Success, a proponent of the ‘N50k marriage’ movement.
This movement advocates for couples to prioritize the essence of their union over extravagant displays, especially in the face of economic hardships.
Taking to Facebook to share their joyous occasion, Udu Lucky Obukohwo expressed gratitude for the inspiration they drew from Ossai Ovie Success.
He emphasized the importance of focusing on what truly matters amidst challenging economic times.
“Our 50k wedding according to Ossai Ovie Success.”
