I’m seeing this one year later and I’m so amazed. I’m planning my wedding this year and there’s no plan for reception, we’re yet to tell our parents though😂. Nevertheless, I’m happy seeing someone with exactly same thoughts with my partner and I😩, it’s refreshing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Am happy to meet you two and to learn that you did not bow to societal pressure! I think it's high time people address situations objectively; it never made sense to get into debt to entertain others.
Love these points! But it's noteworthy that not everyone who's doing a reception is doing it for others. Some really just want to have fun. Like the couple not getting married cos they don't have money for a wedding, it might not just be about the guests but about what they've envisioned for their own wedding too. Thank you for this video, I've always been thinking of having a very straightforward wedding, now I see it's possible
So I was just having a talk with my boyfriend and we were wondering how we’d run this. He was giving me the faith talk “money will never be a problem” bc our “Father in heaven” is involved. But then wedding without reception crossed my mind I had to run here to pick ideas on how we’ll pull the stunt lo and behold it was yours I found and it answered all my questions. Thank you so much. I love you 😁
Waooooo... i can't imagine this video is a year ago.... It's sounding like you Guys are right in front of me cause i'm currently at this stage in my life, thinking how i'm going to go about my wedding without a reception all in the name of no cash. i'm so blessed
Very insightful video. I wish everyone trying to get married would plan within their means and not what they are expecting from people. And borrowing is a no no. We had a 100-man evening wedding and I can so relate. I think the money which cannot be avoided is the money for traditional ceremony and the list. Which is becoming a big issue. So even if a couple has 100k, by the time they give them list of 400k, they run back.
During the lockdown, I wished I had funds & was mentally ready to get married because of the whole social distancing talk. A lot of people capitalized on it & got wedded stylishly avoiding the crowd & unnecessary fanfare.
Nice one, traditional was okay for I and hubby, we did what we could afford, we never allowed anyone pressure us into debt. Our home after the event was all that we were concerned with. Thank you josh and ope for coming up with this.
My fiancé and I are choosing to not have a reception, my mom and grandma (Guatemalan) are having a really hard time with it! 😆 This helped me be more secure in my decisions, everything you said I agree 100%! God bless you 💕
Oh my goodness, I would LOVE to have a no reception wedding!!! I've been playing as a musician for years and I'm just over it. The ceremony matters most and I'm not a fan of wasting money to make others happy. Plus I would love to stay debt free. Thankfully my home church is huge and I'm very involved in ministry so there's space to have everything there. I love planning events but I really don't enjoy receptions any more. Oh, and I've already prepped my friends, so they know that I'm not having bridesmaids either because I don't want to create a hierarchy of my friends. I think simple is best.
Thank you for sharing this. I am currently at a cross road of not having a reception for my wedding, as an only child. My people are against it and I am beginning to think if I am making a wrong decision. But watching this video has given me a firmer resolve on why I don't want a reception.
Loved this video and love you guys too! Y'all should start a series with couples, like a "what I ordered vs what I got" kind of thing. So in this case, it'll be "What we wanted for our wedding vs what actually happened", what they wish they had done different and all. I think it'll be really fun!
Heheheeeeeeeeeee. Honeymoon is the time to know each other betterrrrrrrrrrrrr in other areasssssssssss😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉♥️♥️♥️. Joshhhhhh was so excitedddddd 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This video helped so much, I thought me and my boyfriend were the only one who did not want reception, we will just go to a nice reception after church. so thank you
I am playing with the idea of having a wedding with no reception for the reason that we are in our mid 30s we have other priorities like buying a home would rather have a legit honeymoon - but still have appatizers and drinks for a short period.
Omooooo, I'm paying attention to my honeymoon ooo, so that it will give all it should giveeeeee and we will know eachother in other areassss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂
Thank you 😊 so much, i was looking for couples that wedded without reception, cause I'm on mine too. God bless you 🎉🎉 everything on a low key. We need to plan very well for our home.
I got married without having a wedding reception. Wedding receptions are a waste of time and money. It’s better to save money for a vacation instead of spending it on a wedding reception.
Good morning, i am coming across this now. So my woman is a strong fan of this reception thing, we have been on this for a long period, even with me giving her points why we do not need everybody for our wedding but she keeps saying, My mom goes for other people's reception, our family is known in the society, and the funny thing is she knows my capacity. Is this stress for reception worth it?
Thanks for already achieving my thoughts & plans in real life, I already shared the link with bae & a colleague. I've had this conversation separately with the both of 'em
This is what we are doing nice & simple then going on vacation “honeymoon” the next day ❤ thanks for this people putting pressure on us to have a party 🙄
Wow!! I'm currently in this situation. I'm the first child of my parents. I haven't told them officially yet. I only told my dad in passing and he was like how would he host his friends? 😄 But, what about the traditional marriage? Thank you Sir/Ma
To be honest I just want my wedding is as simple and as straightforward as possible. I don't like stress. Prayers up, my mother told me my wedding is for her that I can go and tell my daughter how to do her wedding 😭🤣🤣
I rushed here because I want a wedding with no reception too
I'm happy someone is thinking like me
Thank youu
Ayyyyy we are here to encourage you
"Nobody will die. Everything will be fine." I needed to hear those words. I will pray into this.

Thank you so much Titi 🤗
The award "best in beauty" goes to Ope😍
Ore ☺️☺️☺️
I thought this 'no reception' thing wasn't possible in Nigeria.😂 Thank you both for sharing this❤
You’re welcome dear, it’s possible oh 😅
Love these points! But it's noteworthy that not everyone who's doing a reception is doing it for others. Some really just want to have fun.

Thank you for this video, I've always been thinking of having a very straightforward wedding, now I see it's possible
Thank you, I think what is most important is that a couple enjoys their wedding and does what is within their means
So I was just having a talk with my boyfriend and we were wondering how we’d run this. He was giving me the faith talk “money will never be a problem” bc our “Father in heaven” is involved.

Awwwww we are so glad our video was helpful to you ❤️❤️❤️
TH-cam family members, we watch allllllllll the ads on this channel, okay? 🎉🎉♥️
Precious for President 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I agree….I’m planning a wedding but no reception….we are investing our money otherwise…home etc…there’s no money for all that
This is a very wise decision 🤗❤️
Waooooo... i can't imagine this video is a year ago.... It's sounding like you Guys are right in front of me cause i'm currently at this stage in my life, thinking how i'm going to go about my wedding without a reception all in the name of no cash. i'm so blessed
First time seeing this and this has been a thought on my mind..I am glad that I can still plan my wedding with no reception ❤❤
I think I need your help....and this is how I want my wedding to be no drama just my kids and my husband to be.
I love how you both placed importance on prayer. Thank you for this video. God bless you both 🥰❤️
Amen 🙌🏾 thank you so much 🤗

Yeah the traditional wedding list can be so stressful 😰. We are glad you planned within your means
During the lockdown, I wished I had funds & was mentally ready to get married because of the whole social distancing talk. A lot of people capitalized on it & got wedded stylishly avoiding the crowd & unnecessary fanfare.
Yeah that was a good time to get married without stress but no matter the time, you can find a way. 🤗
I agreed 👍🏾
Nice one, traditional was okay for I and hubby, we did what we could afford, we never allowed anyone pressure us into debt. Our home after the event was all that we were concerned with. Thank you josh and ope for coming up with this.
It’s so good to focus on what is important. We are glad you both did that ❤️
My fiancé and I are choosing to not have a reception, my mom and grandma (Guatemalan) are having a really hard time with it! 😆 This helped me be more secure in my decisions, everything you said I agree 100%! God bless you 💕
Omg 😳 this is life saving . I’m happy I found this finally
God brought me to this video 💙
Planning finances properlyyyyyyyyyyy. That's so important
So important oh 🔥
I’m so blessed to have come across your video. This is exactly what I want to do at my upcoming wedding.
We are so glad, you found our video helpful ❤️
I'm 100% for this. I don't intend to have a reception after my white wedding. Maybe something small, during the traditional wedding.
That’s good, it your wedding make sure you enjoy it ❤️
I have heard of wedding in the US midwest where they only have wedding cake and punch in the church reception hall.

I am playing with the idea of having a wedding with no reception for the reason that we are in our mid 30s we have other priorities like buying a home would rather have a legit honeymoon - but still have appatizers and drinks for a short period.
Yes it’s important to prioritise things that are more valuable to your marriage than a reception

Thank you so much Esther, welcome to the family 🤗💃🏾
I got married without having a wedding reception. Wedding receptions are a waste of time and money. It’s better to save money for a vacation instead of spending it on a wedding reception.
