At Valentino each and every dress was different and boasted corresponding different techniques – the only theme that ran throughout was the idea of a bird, which translated at first through caged gowns constructed through piping details and lace. So it was that same silhouette that we have come to know and love from Valentino – demure, nipped-in waists and splaying skirts – with bold lines of red and black and cream to bring to life their silhouette.

PARENTS OF THE BRIDE

THE COUPLE TEMI LOPE AND TEMI TOPE

THE GIRLS LOOK GORGEOUS AS USUAL AND THE GRAND-MOTHER IS THERE HOW NICE

THE NATURAL AFRICAN BEAUTY MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

Here is my best part where they introduces the groom to the bride’s family and makes the groom and his friends beg for their daughters hand by prostrating in front of the bride’s family. She ends with ushering in the bride.  The Second MC, usually called the Alaga Iduro (Standing MC, as she represents the groom’s family who is coming to beg for the wife) takes over the second part and this time introduces the bride to the groom’s family and takes her to them for acceptance. She co-ordinates the payment of the bride price (which is usually returned to the groom’s family because according to the bride’s family, they are not selling a wife, they are giving a daughter). She also accepts the items brought by the groom’s family to the bride’s family. They are usually dressed in the same Aso Ebi as the side of the family they are representing.

Another main feature of marriage celebrations in African culture is the enjoyment of music and dance. A wedding in Yoruba will likely feature the playing of the iya’lu dundun; a drum that is used for special occasions including weddings. In addition to instrumental music, songs that express joy and religion are often performed.

There are many steps to a Nigerian weddings, sometimes the whole process can take a year or two or days depending on the couple if they want to space the process up. Here are the steps:
1. introduction
2. engagement (last 4-6 hours)
3. wedding ceremony (which includes reception and night party(sometimes ends in the morning)).
4. thanksgiving (the bride will go to the husband church to celebrate, and each immediate side of the family will also celebrate in their church, either the bide or grooms church. Or if they are Muslim then it will be in a mosque, with the same process).
*thanksgiving has to be done the day after the wedding ceremony but the wedding ceremony doesn’t have to be done right after engagement, sometimes people space those two ceremony’s from months to a year and some do it right after each other. Plus engagement doesn’t have to be done right after introduction, it depends on the couple, but to make the long story short in Nigerian wedding celebrations these 4 steps have to be done but the timing between introduction, engagement and wedding ceremony is up to the couple.
