Advice
Querine advises bride’s to be to always have some money to make their functions rather than think they can depend on contributions.
“A bride has to know they may have to make some dreams happen on their own. Sometimes as a bride you have seen some exceptional decor online and you want your function to look the same. When you tell someone to contribute to decor of Shs1.5m, they will advice you to use that of a lower cost instead. ”
