Campaign Story

Why We’re Fundraising for Our Wedding

Planning a wedding is one of the most beautiful yet challenging journeys for any couple. It’s not just about one day—it’s about celebrating love, family, faith, and the beginning of a new life together. For us, this dream comes with financial responsibilities that we cannot carry alone. That’s why we’ve humbly decided to open our hearts and share our story, asking for your support as we take this big step.

Weddings can be expensive—not because we want something extravagant, but because there are basic, meaningful things we’d love to have as part of our special day. From venue rental, attire, photography, and decorations to food, music, and chairs for our loved ones—each part carries a cost. We’re doing our best to budget wisely and cut unnecessary expenses, but even a modest celebration still requires funds that go beyond what we currently have.

We believe in love, simplicity, and community. And we believe that this wedding isn’t just about us—it’s about everyone who has supported our journey, believed in us, and wants to be a part of our joy. Your contribution, no matter how small, helps us take care of essential things:

Booking a modest venue to gather with loved ones.

Renting chairs, canopies, and sound equipment.

Catering to feed few of our guests and make the day memorable.

Photography and videography to capture lifelong memories.

Traditional and church ceremonies that reflect both our cultures and faith

Outfits and small tokens of appreciation for our families and bridal party.

We’re not looking for luxury—just a joyful, heartfelt celebration that honors God, our families, and our commitment to each other. Your support gives us peace of mind, allowing us to focus on building our future rather than worrying about debts before the journey even begins.

We’re contributing all we can, and even doing some things ourselves to cut down costs. But the truth is, it’s still more than we can carry alone. That’s why we’re asking—for your kindness and your support.

If you’ve ever planned a wedding or supported someone who has, you’ll understand how much this means. We’re not looking for perfect, just possible. And your help makes that possible.

Every act of support is a seed sown into our marriage, and we promise to cherish it.

From the bottom of our hearts,

Goodluck & Oluwatise Deborah
