The Aso Ebi Markup Split Our Bridal Train
A bridesmaid paid for lace, then found out what the fabric actually cost.
My cousin Nneka asked me to join her bridal train and announced that the aso ebi package was ₦32,000. I paid immediately because the wedding was six weeks away. While collecting the lace, I saw the tailor’s receipt: the fabric cost ₦18,000 per person. Nneka said the extra covered gele, sewing, delivery, and the photographer’s matching accessories, but she had never shared that breakdown. When I asked for an itemised list, she said I was embarrassing her in front of the other bridesmaids. I want to wear the outfit, but I do not want family affection used to hide a markup.
The question before the court
Was I wrong to challenge my cousin’s ₦32,000 aso ebi package?
- Demand a breakdown and refund any unexplained markup.
- Wear it as promised; wedding packages include more than fabric.
- Withdraw from the train and forfeit only genuine costs.
- Let the other bridesmaids compare receipts before deciding.
