Welcome to Marriage Builders! Would you mind giving us a longer introduction? It would be good to know a little more detail such as whether you are living together and what these marriage bills are.
Also it would be easier for us to read if you wrote out the words rather than using numbers as this is confusing for those of us not used to this form of writing!

We are not living together. He does not earn much to cater for the marriage bills like the bride price and the traditional rites which is compulsory, then the wedding ceremony. He worked so hard to raise funds to this effect but no success.

Could you sit down together and make a plan? Marriage Builders is all about openness, honesty, respect and negotiation.
Setting up and keeping to a budget is a really important part of a successful marriage and you need to start getting that right now because it is not going to get easier!

Help him to pay the bills, if you want him to marry you. You just have financial problem. Both of you save money for the wedding.
Or wait for the time until he can afford to pay the marriage bills.
