Would You Pay Everything for A Man to WED You? | The Tiwa Savage Rumour as a Case Study!

Nigerian musician-Tiwa Savage and her fiancé- Tee Billz who doubles as her manager will hold a white wedding in Dubai tomorrow—and the industry rumour is that, Tiwa Savage is paying for the entire wedding, including what both of them will wear.

Probably, the fact that Tiwa Savage is doing great with her musical career (bringing in a lot of cash from endorsement deals) while the ‘husband to be’ is not known for the same has given some sort of grounds to the rumour that Tiwa Savage is taking care of all the bills. Interestingly, the man’s industry name is Billz…

Though we will never know for sure who paid for what, unless they decide to tell us in the future, let’s take the discussion from the rumour corner to a well thought-of place—our own lives.

I am a woman who is ever ready to support my partner, especially the man who will treat me well and would have the intention to make me his forever—as long as I am the one and only. And by support, I mean financially, emotionally and anywhere I can be of assistance.

Take not of the fact that I said, it is support I will give out and not carry the whole burden of a relationship and the wellbeing of that relationship on my head—including the cost of a wedding.

When two people decide to do something, there must be equal chip-ins, if that can be done. However, if one is blessed with more than the other, nothing spoils the fun for the blessed one to take up more of the load—and that just as far as I will go.

Tiwa’s situation is an internet gossip and we cannot jump on that to make a substantive case but I know of two people in real life who literally bought MEN with their money, and paid for the wedding—including the ring and even the boxer shorts these men wore.

For me, the above is not LOVE and a very risky enterprise. Buying a man’s commitment with money may be great in the short term but eventually, the dust will settle and things will get chaos.

I am not judging anyone who paid or intends to pay for a man to wed her. What I am saying is that, I would cherish it more and accept it if the man is making an effort—where I can come in to help.

The question is; would you entirely pay for a man to marry you in a grand style, including buying the engagement and wedding rings all by yourself?
