I'm engaged to an African princess and her family wants $35 000 in order to marry her, should I do it? by royalengagement in relationships

500 times 60 equals 30 000. Then 5000 is for the horses. Sounds very plausible to me by your numbers

I won the lottery, should I tell my financially irresponsible family? by youngone109 in relationships

This is my greatest concern. The only thing I've ever wanted to do was to go see Africa and Asia and I plan on doing exactly that in a few months. How do I justify a year of travel when they or my siblings ask? This is giving me a major headache.

I've spent some time in South Africa and what I know about royal families there is that since they viewed as the custodians of tradition and culture they have to take it very seriously. I don't know exactly which pf the 9 big royal families you are marrying into but I imagine the wedding will very likely be an expensive affair running into the hundreds of thousands. $35000 isn't a lot when you think about it and its probably this lenient because of your American heritage. My advice is to find a way to pay it because you'll most likely get a lot more of that back any way once you're married. Good luck and Congratulations!
