A grand wedding filled with luxury, celebration, and high expectations has ended in heartbreak and financial disaster, just months after the vows were exchanged. A young groom, who borrowed a substantial sum of money to finance an extravagant ceremony, has been left in deep financial distress after his wife abruptly walked out of the marriage, demanding a divorce within five months.
The story, shared by popular content creator Nasco, has sent shockwaves across social media, sparking debates on the dangers of excessive wedding spending and the importance of financial compatibility in marriage. According to Nasco’s account, the couple tied the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony in July 2024, but by December of the same year, the wife informed her husband that she no longer felt connected to the marriage and wished to leave.
At first, the groom was convinced they could resolve their differences, but his hopes were quickly shattered when his wife moved out. Just three months later, she was seen in public with another man, confirming that she had already moved on while her ex-husband was still struggling with the financial burden of their short-lived marriage.
Nasco’s narration revealed that the groom had been under immense pressure from his bride to organize an extravagant wedding, believing it would make her happy and secure their future together. In his desperate attempt to meet her demands, he took out a huge loan, expecting their marriage to last a lifetime. Unfortunately, reality struck hard, leaving him with debt and emotional trauma.
Expressing his frustration, Nasco advised young men preparing for marriage to ensure that their partners contribute financially to wedding expenses. He argued that if a woman is genuinely invested in the union, she should be willing to share the financial burden rather than place all the responsibility on the groom.
In his words:
“My guy wey marry July last year, December na him wife tell am say I no feel like I belong here. I don’t feel like continuing this. Na him the woman tell am, na him the woman move. The guy think say na wetin them fit settle. Na him the woman tell am. Na him the woman move. Like joke like okay. January pass, February pass, na March we dey so. Yesterday I see the lady for Shoprite. She don dey with another guy.
“Meanwhile, this girl pressure this boy say she need big wedding. This boy borrow money take do the big wedding. Now this guy never pay debt finish.”
The story has fueled intense discussions about societal pressures surrounding weddings, with many questioning why some couples prioritize extravagant ceremonies over financial stability. Experts warn that borrowing money for a wedding is a risky decision, as financial stress can become a major source of conflict in marriage. Relationship counselors emphasize the importance of having honest conversations about finances before tying the knot, ensuring that both partners share the same values regarding money management.
This incident serves as a cautionary tale for young couples, highlighting the need for financial responsibility and emotional maturity when entering a lifelong commitment. Weddings should be about love, partnership, and building a future together, rather than an opportunity to impress society at the cost of financial well-being.
