Lol that doesn't sound realistic if you're going to be married to this person forever.

Is that even possible in 2020 if you want to build a life and raise kids? How can 1 person's income take care of everything? That's stress wallahi.

I don’t get it like it makes no sense to me especially with late stage capitalism. This isn’t the 70s where a man has a guaranteed job for life that pays enough to raise an entire family. Dual income is a requirement of families now.

True. Most couples split the cost, I don’t think it’s fair to burden the guy to pay for everything.

A small bridal shower and small aroos is good enough. Tbh, my priority would be to find a nice place to live and decor my place to my liking. Then save money and go on a honeymoon, or at least travel somewhere close by for the time being (Caribbean for example) and then go someplace more expensive and nice after.

So many people spend money on a wedding and then can barely afford a place to live, or furniture. That’s dumb.

Why spend it on other people who you rarely see when I could use that money to go on a honeymoon with my girl. Financial literacy is lacking in the Somali community lol you got people taking out loans for aroos :deadrose:

It is still widely expected for the man to make more
When the woman is bringing more money it fucks up dynamics in the home

she won’t respect you anymore tbh

Have that discussion with future bae. Every marriage is different.

I went to a wedding and tell me how everyone came for the food and left even before the bride came. When she arrived, the hall was empty. That’s when I knew that Somalis ain’t shit and I may just have an outdoor wedding to piss them off (ie they won’t show up)

I agree. Like @416 said financial literacy is lacking in our community. A lot of the younger women are trying to hold on to old traditions in new times and countries. Maybe abo could have done that shit for hooyo in Somalia in 1983 but it's not happening over here. :chrisfreshhah:
