in hive-195150 •  5 days ago 

Compliments of the season, dear Lifers. How have you been. I hope we are all looking forward to the new year. Marriage is a good thing and I wanna share with you all how my day went and about the traditional marriage I attended.

I woke up in the morning a little bit late since it was a Saturday, then I did a little exercise to strengthen my bones. Exercise is very good for the body and makes us keep fit, thereafter, i did some chores too. After doing my morning chores, I settled down to cook beans and thereafter fry some plantain which was for breakfast.

Selecting the beans
Ingredients like onions, pepper, maggi, salt oil, was needed for the beans which u prepared.

When I had parboiled the beans for it to become soft, I had to put in the ingredients. I had a choice whether to just pour oil in or fry the oil so I choosed frying the oil.

After peeling the plantain, I had to slice it into pieces before frying.

Breakfast is ready

After taking breakfast which I finished at about 10am, I decided to rest a little before getting ready for the traditional marriage since it was in another town about 45 minutes away. I watched my episodic movie 'Hanna' abd slept for a while. I woke up at about 1pm and started getting ready.

In the afternoon, I left for the tm. I reached there at few minutes to 2pm. Tho the tm was skated for 2pm, but it was started by 4pm.

Shortly after praying for the couple by family members and their pastor, all was done. The traditional marriage didn't last more than 2 hours. I left immediately since my journey was a long one and it was getting dark.

Inside the commercial vehicle. I had to remove my wig cos it was very hurt. I cannot come and kill myself for beauty.

By the time I reached home, it was about 8pm, I refreshed and took a light meal which was bread and tea, before sleeping. So that was how my day went. Thank you for having me here.

Wishing you a happy new year in advance.

Cheers from @destinedhanik
