Hahaha, how do you mean expected?
This bridal cry is part o the culture, they cry to show their parents how they love them and that they are not taking departing from their home and covering for robbery, but to mean that that it pains them a lot, even tho it probably doesn't.. but that's on the other side of emotions.
More so, the parent are suppose to cry and pray to bless her departure as well. This part also must be fulfilled.
Yes it was all perfect and expected.. infact they look foreward to it in the Yoruba tradition..
No not to say that problem would come, but for respect sake and for the departure to be heartfelt.
It's like a father is loosing his child away to another hehehe..
Weddings are funny here and it's different cultures with their own rudiments.. hehe
