That doesn't mean there shouldn't be a feast and a party. Don't skimp out on your own celebration, now.
All things in moderation. Except shah.

I never understood Somalis and marriage. renting an apartment, buying a furniture and lunch which will cover both nikah and the so called aroos should be enouugh. after that what ever happens depends on the new couple. whether u take her to honeymoon or buy gold for her is a different matter but there should be no extortion.
Yup, and you know I already agree. Though I think if a guy isn't already capable of renting an apartment in a comfortable and safe neighbourhood, he shouldn't think about marriage. If a girl hasn't attained her own goals in life, she shouldn't look to marriage. People gotta focus on themselves, and not some ridiculous notion of spending to impress.
