My sister's wedding planner bill made me reconsider my life choices

Went with my sister to meet a wedding planner in Lekki yesterday. The woman pulled out a tablet with a spreadsheet that had 47 line items. 47. For a wedding that lasts maybe 6 hours.

My sister is going for the full package , imported lace, live band, multiple outfit changes, the works. The planner quoted us ₦8.5 million for coordination alone. That's before catering, venue, photography, makeup, all that. I ran the numbers in my head. At current exchange rates that's about $6,250 for one day. One day of coordinated chaos.

Bruh I work in tech and even I was sweating. My sister just smiled and said "this is standard." I looked at my bank balance and calculated how many months of rent that is in VI. Interesting times we live in when a wedding costs more than a decent tokunbo car.
