Have you attended a wedding ceremony recently? Did you take a second to observe the celebrants? Did you notice the gaily dressed up bride grin from ear to ear and dance spiritedly from pillar to post. But I am asking if you really watched the groom. How he sauntered absent minded to the altar, his voice almost cracking up as he recited his vows; for better for worse. Even the jokes of a brilliant stand-up comic failed to win his smile. A frozen smirk-smile played on his lips as he danced blandly in stark contrast to his female companion to the beats of a hired drummer. His grave look is borne more from the huge debts incurred in organizing the wedding ceremony than anything else. Though this is exaggerated to an extent the picture isn’t much different for several Nigerian bachelors-turned husbands. The prospects appear bleak as he grudgingly carries his bride to a honey-moon with sour beginnings, http://connectafrica./2008/10/21/where-the-worlds-most-expensive-weddings-happen/
