Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has advised couples to consider low-budget weddings, warning that the pressure to organise expensive ceremonies can affect their mental health and marriages.
In a post shared on her Instagram page, the actress noted that many people fail to recognise the emotional and financial burdens associated with planning elaborate weddings. She also observed that some relationships change after the wedding ceremony.
“Big weddings put pressure on couples and the marriage itself, and I don’t think people realise that. People can date for years, but after the wedding, some people change,” she stated.
According to Ruth Kadiri, couples should prioritise their peace of mind and the future of their marriage rather than feel compelled to organise elaborate ceremonies to impress others.
