To Toincilicous Randoms' First Follower.

The past last week has been busy,exhilirating and stressful.
I went shopping for bridesmaids' dress with a friend. At first it seemed like a fun thing and a wonderful timeout with the bride but by the time we spent 2 hours walking in the market with the soon-to-be Iyawo,i changed my mind ni kia kia. Whoever said shopping is therapeutic should try bird-watching or baking. This brings me to the foremost thought on my mind now; why can't we as Nigerians ever hold/organise a small wedding ceremony composing of at most 20 guests?
 


This post is dedicated to my first follower Toinlicious. Thanks

    If u wonder why Nigerians can't plan a small wedding....how
    about a traditional engagement party where the bride and groom were not in at the ceremony yet attendance was well over 400 .

    Thanks for following my blog *hugs*

      Hehenhen,so whats d point? the 'celebrants' were not around. I think it stems from the fact that we as Nigeians like to show off *the they must take syndrome* May God help us.

      Oh! Thanks. A friend of mine saw this and told me in simple English that she would never try a 20 guest wedding. In her words 'You can do it if u want but where's the hype in that u only get married once'

    Its impossible unless its not a Nigerian wedding? 20 guests? For where? lol

    In fact, Nigerian wedding these days tend towards competition where people are trying to beat each other in every way from the number of guests to the clothes and so on.

      Exactly,we've lost sense of what's important. Like how the couple will cope after the ceremony especially with living together,parenting et all.

    tell me something, look around you, your family I meant, are they less than 20? if they are,(though I will argue that), then we can have a Nigerian wedding of such amount of people. But...I still won't call it a Nigerian wedding, there are always the 'mogbomoya' group.

    mmmh, only if you elope o or you do destination wedding in somewhere like Guatemala where most of your parents friends do not know the place even exist.. hehehehe

    On a serious note, weddings are meant to be a public thing, remember the wedding of Cana but we Naija do overdo it sometimes, my rule was that anyone I don't know I'm not inviting, still nko, when viewing the dvd, we kept saying who is that? :-)

      Lol. I am so up for the idea of a destination wedding. Esp to a place where my parents' friends can't come jare and i wouldnt mind having the money that they would have spent on Asoebi and a carniwedding. I hope that future hubby shares the same view though.
