The engagement which is known as the traditional part of the ceremony on Friday took place at exactly 10:00am at the pride father compound as the venue, Where family and friends of the groom including me myself have to follow them to the pride father compound at exactly 9:00am before the engagement started. Traditional drummers, the MC including the Dj are inside the canopy, even the caterer service canopy is at the back of the pride fathers house where different types of food are cocking over there, the family of the pride sat down on the right side inside the canopy while the groom family sat down on the left side inside their own canopy where both parents of the pride and the groom have to seat at the front of both the left and right of their family canopy including the head of the family.
Plenty invitees are present on the engagement including some student which attend same university with both the pride and the groom. This is day where the family of The pride collected the price prize from the groom family which includes Palm oil, Yam, cola nut, bitter cola, Bag of rice and fruits e.t.c are all put in one side of the corner then started carrying it out one after the other.
On that day the ceremony start with Opening prayer later the MC called on the groom to so himself in the present of the pride family’s if anything is wrong with any part of he’s body by doing this it shows that their daughter did a good job to marry a very handsome guy. During this period the pride is inside a room with remaining daughters of the family. So later the MC call on the pride for she to come out so her parents can pray for her and handover her to the groom family.
