My article this week has been inspired by real weddings. A while back but on different dates , The Samantha Bridal Show on local channel KTN featured 2 weddings that caught my attention. One was a tight budget wedding of Ksh. 7,000/= (less than USD 100); extremely low by an average kenyan wedding budget. The other was one that cost a whopping Ksh 10 million (USD 114,350). Fast forward to last week, we have an ongoing wedding with ceremonies on several days and still a future ceremony for the same wedding coming soon. Its budget is rumored at Ksh 1 billion (USD 11.4 million). If it will meet this budget, then that will make it the most expensive wedding in Kenya history that will be known.
Which brings me to my reasons for today's blog. One is that any wedding whether on an extremely tight budget or with lots of cash to splash around needs to identify what budget they will work with. This makes it easy for the couple to choose on what items they want to spend more or less cash.

Second, I noticed with all the brides of the 3 weddings that I have just mentioned said that they were happy with their big day. Begging the question:- Who should determine how much a couple spends on their big day? I read with a lot of amusement shocking reactions to two of the big budget weddings I have mentioned about on social media. Some thought that they were extravagant in their spending. Others; well its best to say their opinions are just their own.
Any wedding has a lot of factors that come into play whether its the venue, the use of helicopters, horse carriage, high profile guest, security, and the list is endless. Based on what one is looking for its bound to cost money whether a little or a lot. Fortunately, no two weddings are the same no matter how much we have an opinion to its cost......
how much exactly can a classy middle standard wedding cost
