Nigerian Traditional Wedding Customs: From Courtship To Marriage by Maryimafidon: 8:11am On Apr 26, 2023
My friend's traditional wedding is tomorrow, and my excitement is through the roof. I've witnessed her relationship from when it was just them and now both families are finally coming together. One thing I love about Nigerian weddings is the traditional ones; they have more vibrance than white weddings and honour our heritage.

From courtship, where the couple get to know each other and their families (while also seeking approval and blessings from their parents), to the introduction, where the groom's family approaches the bride's family to introduce themselves and make their intentions known.
Then there’s the engagement and traditional wedding, where the bride's price is paid, and their union is celebrated with extended family members and friends.

I think the best thing is that the wedding brings the entire families together in harmony and love.

Just curious, are you also a little sad your friend is getting married?

Of course not, its pure joy for me. She deserves this love.

Only way is if you yourself are also married or sure to soon get or don't wanna get married - that's human nature
