Most people often think owning a car is just a way of trying to prove one is a big boy and sophisticated than others, but car owners are usually the ones who can tell why owning a car goes beyond the luxury aspect and why it is more of a necessity.
Today, we’ll be talking about 5 reasons why one needs to have a car before having a wedding.
- For ease of movement
After the wedding, it is common for Nigerian couples to go greet family and friends who lent them support which made their wedding a wonderful day filled with memories. However, most couples are unable to do this, not because they are ungrateful but because they don’t have a car to make movement easy for them.
In a city like Lagos, it is usually inconvenient moving around because of terrible traffic. However, when a couple has a car of its own, the traffic won’t bother them much because they will be in the comfort of their car and not inside a dirty looking Danfo commercial bus.
2. For prestige
Most people don’t find it prestigious going to an occasion dressed in the same attire with their partner when it’s public transportation that will see them to the venue. Imagine attending a wedding ceremony of a colleague who attended yours where you and your wife had to walk from the bus stop to the venue which other guests simply drove down to. The heat from the stress is enough to wash off the makeup from the face of one’s wife.
3. In case of emergency
The neighborhood some people live in have no public means of transportation from their house to the bus stop. They have to walk some distance before they can get public transportation. What if one’s pregnant wife suddenly goes into labour especially in the middle of the night and you have to take her to a local hospital? Owning a car at such time would be a thing of joy.
4. For status upgrade
Owning a car is something most contractors and self employed people don’t joke with because it gives them a status that makes them win contracts. They don’t joke with it because they know it gives them an appearance that earns them respect from companies they submit proposals to. The car doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive but something neat enough to portray an image good enough to win contracts so as to be able to provide for their family.
5. For personal safety
Driving yourself is better than placing your life in the hands of a commercial driver who might be driving under the influence. One is also prevented from falling victim of popular One Chance Robbers who Rob passengers in commercial buses and sometimes use them for ritual
Well, we hope the above points are enough to convince someone on why they need a car before their wedding. However, some might think getting a brand new car is quite expensive. One of the way out is by getting a fairly used car, a tokubo or a brand new car via vehicle acquisition scheme.
