My wedding is in two and a half months time but I don’t want to go through with it anymore. We have being together for three years and he proposed early this year. The day he proposed was so underwhelming and nothing like what I ever imagined my proposal to be.
My fiancé took me to the beach and while we were in front of the water he took out the ring, went one knee,said a small speech and finally asked me to marry him. While he was on his knees, waves came and washed over us. It threw us to the floor and we used a good three minutes to look for the ring.
Luckily we found it and he put it on my finger. I was disappointed but I tried to act happy and hugged him. People around clapped and he was grinning from ear to ear as some men around dabbed him up. We went to one of the bathrooms at the beach to change our swimwears and that was when I finally got a chance to look closely at the ring.
It didn’t look like it cost a lot and I made a mental note to find out how much it cost which I did two days later. I was packing some of his clothes to give to our dry cleaner when I found the receipt of the ring in one of his shorts. It cost #228,000 I was so mad at him for this. I know some of you might think I’m shallow for this but hear me out.
My ex had gotten me a promise ring when we were still together that cost 350,000 thousand Naria and the man I’m supposed to spend the rest of my life with was proposing with a ring of 228,000 thousand Naira. When he came home I confronted him about it calmly and he told me he saw nothing wrong with the price of the ring. We had a big fight and I even threatened to call off the wedding.
I’m sure one of his
friends must have talked sense into his head because a week later he took me to the jewelry shop to exchange the ring for a better one. The new one cost 535k and I was very happy although his condition was that our main wedding ring wouldn’t be expensive but I didn’t care. Now the issue is that we have started planning for the wedding but I’m beginning to realize I made a huge mistake.
My fiancé is not as financially stable as | thought he was. I mean he’s not broke but now that we’re planning to actually settle down together I’ve realized that he isn’t financially capable enough to take care of a woman like me.
I couldn’t get my dream wedding dress because it was “too expensive.”
I had to settle for something else.
Also I initially planned to have 4 outfit changes at my traditional wedding but we’ve had to cut it down to just two to “fit into the budget.” I can’t have the wedding of my dreams and it’s frustrating. If we’re not yet married and he’s already making me manage I wonder what would happen when he has finally made me his wife.
I am a very beautiful lady and I have a lot of rich men that want me. I have a lot of options so | need to pick the best one so I don’t ever get tempted to cheat My fiancé is a good man but I can’t settle down with him like this. Please How can I call off the wedding without hurting him and our entire family and friends because we’ve already started sending out invites
