• How to Get Your Sugar Mummy to Pay for Your Wedding

    Introducing a new form of wedding payment. We call them sugar mummies.

    Written By:

    There comes a time in a sugar baby’s life when they realise they need to settle down and get married… to someone their age. Since weddings are expensive, and you don’t have the funds, here’s how to convince your sugar mummy to pay for everything. 

    Make her the chief bridesmaid 

    She’ll have a sense of duty to the event, and her purse will overflow. Plus, if she’s playing such a big role in the wedding, her rich friends would come too, and that means more money for you. 

    You had a dream

    Tell her you had a dream her life changed for the better after she sponsored your wedding. You can say you asked her for it as a favour, and when she refused, God used the bitterness in your heart to punish her. Nothing too extreme. Just say enough for her to agree to finance your entire wedding.

    It’s a school project 

    You know how education keeps evolving? Well, your school gave you an assignment to throw a successful wedding plus reception. Tell her you’ll fail and drop out if she doesn’t finance it. If you’re not in school, you’re taking a new online course. 

    Her marriage inspired you 

    Not all sugar mummies are married, but if yours happens to be, then use it to your advantage. Her marriage is an inspiration and you want to know what marital bliss feels like. Sure, she’s cheating, but that doesn’t mean her marriage isn’t great. 

    If she’s not married, marry her

    The easiest way to get her to pay for your wedding is by making her the bride. Do you think she’ll let her wedding be done anyhow? Of course not. Wedding of the century.

    Or marry her child

    She’ll have no choice but to finance the entire wedding. It’s called strategic positioning. 

    Remind her that her reputation is at stake 

    People already associate you with her, so if you have a rubbish wedding, it’ll reflect poorly on her. There’ll be rumours about how she’s going broke and society will shun her. If your wedding isn’t grand, she might as well vanish from society. 

    Work overtime 

    Approach it from a business perspective. Show her a plan on how you’ll use your body to repay your debt. Work smarter, not harder.
