We all know that court and white wedding are borrowed culture.
I hail from Abia state and from the igbo tribe in Nigeria.
Some people who do not have money to further wedding process, just do their traditional wedding and start staying together.
Although am not married yet but i will giving experience on how my elder did hers and how it is done in my tribe.
First, the girl will meet her Dad and let him that someone is interested in her, her dad might ask her some questions then give him date he will come with his family members.
KNOCKING OF DOOR
On the date which the girl's father asked the man's family to come, he will come with his family members most especially his Dad and Mum but if he's Dad is Dead and he has a Senior brother, the Senior brother or Uncle will come with him to represent his Dad
They will make their tension known to the girl's Father. The girl will be called then will be asked whether she knows them.
The in-laws will be served with the girls Native food.
At that point, the list should be ready that is why the girl needs to tell her Father first. The man will pay at least 10,000 for the girl's father to release the list.
The list comprises of
Father's list [include the 1son list]: Yam,goat,rice,money,wine other food stuffs
Mother's list: will include wrapper, jewelry, money
Village list[what will be shared among villagers]: this include food stuffs that will be shared among cheifs, and elders in the compound
Most time the Boy can go and come back for the list if it is not ready.
TRADITIONAL WEDDING DAY
I can relate to this totally. If the village list is not complete. Fight will start... I love tradition
Wait your sister has gotten married? And you didn't send an invite to the Hive family?
And from your post, I get you are Igbo, right? 😁 @prechidi Good thing you educated us a bit on the marriage here. I still dey fear for those lists.🤣
Oh, I se...just kidding though😁
a simple marriage with a simple process.
No stress at all to the groom. And it all turned out beautifully.
It is all good.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I like the simplicity that comes with this style of traditional marriage.
When it becomes too complex I start to worry.
Nice post!👌👌👌
Hence the high divorce rates.
Well explained your marriage ceremony ❣️
Keep up good content writing
What if the husband was not able to provide every single items on the lists? Will the marriage still continue that day? Will there be a room for the man to provide the remaining items maybe later?
Thanks for sharing your culture with us.
Depends on the family. I found you again
Hahahaha
You really find me again oo😄
Yea some parents are considerate when it comes to the items that concerns them, that I know but those "Umunna" items are always untochable
Wow.. this very simple..
Someone doesn't need to spend as much as other tribes do..
Nice piece dear 🙏💞
