Jarvis advises singles ahead of her white wedding with fellow TikTok star Peller, urging young people not to rush into marriage without having the resources needed to manage its responsibilities.

Speaking during a recent livestream, the social media personality said financial stability should be a major consideration for anyone planning to start a family.

“If you don’t have money, don’t get married. Don’t try it, I beg you,” Jarvis said.

She also advised couples planning their weddings to consider spreading their ceremonies over different periods to reduce financial strain.

“But if you are planning of getting married, you can share it by doing traditional wedding this year and do the white wedding the next year,” she added.

Jarvis explained that even with proper planning, wedding preparations can be demanding, noting that delaying the ceremony does not always guarantee a perfect financial situation.

“We almost postponed our wedding, but even if we put it in the next 50 years, we are never going to prepare for the wedding,” she said.

The advice comes as Jarvis and Peller prepare for their white wedding scheduled for August 1, 2026.

The couple had earlier held their traditional wedding ceremony in Benin City, Edo State, marking another major milestone in their relationship.
