Hello wonderful friends I wish to share with you, how I spent my day today
Photography and cinematography is one of my major hobbies. Its cool covering events... I have the opportunity of meeting people, learning people's culture.
Today I covered a traditional wedding event. It was really an experience learning how the southern do their traditional wedding. Although I have many friends from that part of our country but I had limited understanding of how their traditional wedding is being organized.
The traditional wedding started around 11am, the both families were all presents. The bride was to stay indoor after she had been beautified with colorful beads and chains.
The visitors and friends who travelled a long distance to celebrate with them were first entertained with music and native food
The mother and sister of the bride danced with joy as they welcomed their invitees
The bride price was was presented by the family of the groom. It was some thousands of Naira.
Items were also presented to the bride's family, like varieties of local and foreign Drinks.
Later the long awaited bride was allowed to step out. Oh! how beautiful to behold she was, dancing and walking as though she was been carried by angels.
Their union was blessed by the father of the bride, after then they were allowed to danced and feed themselves.
It was indeed a day of celebration and learning of new cultural practice. Thank you for taking your time to read
