Why expensive wedding ceremonies?

Allow me to advise my fellow Rwandans on the issue of marriage ceremonies. We do not real need to have expensive ceremonies, for they leave us completely bankrupt.

Dear editor,

Allow me to advise my fellow Rwandans on the issue of marriage ceremonies. We do not real need to have expensive ceremonies, for they leave us completely bankrupt.

It is not supposed to be a show off! Ceremonies that demand a poor man to hire an expensive car are uncalled for. Why does someone feel happy to sit in a hired car for two hours and spend thousands of money?

It does not come to my senses and I think all of you who share the same idea with me, should spread the idea to the poor who suffer with expensive wedding ceremonies.
It’s high time we realised the importance of reducing our expenditure especially on what is not necessary
