Japanese Wedding in Meiji Shrine.

2. WHITE BRIDAL GOWN: It was actually Queen
Victoria who introduced the white wedding
tradition back in 1840. Since then, women all
over the world have followed her cue.
Traditionally, the white wedding gown
symbolized purity, innocence and chastity. Not so sure about this nowadays…and many brides are
choosing other colours for their gowns.


The rate in which our girls dey fvck up and down has made the white wedding useless.

jmoore: " Searching for the groom- Igbo wedding.

"Once all presentation have been done as custom demands the bride makes an entrance led by her maidens, she approaches her father who gives her a symbolic wooden cup filled with palm wine, the purpose is for the bride to seek out her suitor among the teeming crowd.
The groom might choose to seat at the back with friends or within the crowd,
she seeks him out and offers him the wine which he drinks expressing his
love, affection and agreement with the bonding, they then present themselves
to their individual parents and the gathering." - Culled from http://tony55.hubpages.com/hub/The-Igbo-Traditional-Wedding-Igba-Nkwu-Igbo-Traditional-Marriage-ceremonies

I think this is quite logical and lovely

"Jumping the broom" is an expression meaning "to get married," and it is an African-American tradition stemming from the days of slavery. African-American slaves were often not permitted to marry, so they had to create their own customs and traditions to mark this special occasion among themselves. Other slaves would lay a broom on the floor, and the new couple would jump over it together, symbolizing the start of their life

AriDsexy: Jumping the broom,some people do that.

.CARRYING THE BRIDE OVER THE THRESHOLD:Traditionally speaking, there were two different reasons the groom carried the bride over the threshold. In some parts of the world it was to protect his bride from being possessed by evil spirits. Back then, brides were considered as being highly vulnerable to spirit intrusion. In other parts of the world, it was a way of preventing the bride from appearing too eager to lose her virginity. Nowadays, it’s a romantic gesture, one that we hope sticks around forever.


Obviously,the above would not apply if the groom was 'I go die' the comedian and Eniola Badmus as the bride...

Oh my bad...I thought its a wedding tradition,becos I see the new couple walking across the broom,also tought its a tradition in Nigeria.Thanks for explaining.

Mutuwa:

True,coz we lack creativity and have alot of frustrations in our art and literature forcing us to imbibe a foreign norm.

the other point to be made is that the white wedding is now considered as the authentic or main wedding.....if you have complete the traditional aspects with all obligations fulfilled, you are still considered as 'not married' except the white wedding is done. This stance creates room for more spending and you hear people saying, i did traditional, court and white wedding......three weddings all to satisfy the society!

AriDsexy: Jumping the broom,some people do that.

yes very true.....another one is the tying of knots

Indeed un-african, but the tradition has come to stay in Africa.

Most you get married in a church?
Why not in an event center, or in your compound...wear whatever you deem fit and receive the blessing of your parent and if there's a pastor there, he can as well join you guys together there....
Most is it always be in church?
Christians!!!

how is it possible to conflate a religion with a race? huh! so white christians are traitors to whom?

My favorite wedding day tradition is the rum cake of course! Everyone gets a sweet and pungent piece of cake, to eat or keep if you so choose. Being literally dunked in rum and soaked in it for days means that the cake will very rarely spoil. My parents have kept a piece of the larger cake in the fridge and take a bite out of it every anniversary. Original Drunk in Love!!! And as long as there is cake to eat, your love will be sweeter and stronger too!!!

Tallesty1: And nigerians don copy am like say nah dia own. We always imitate the western world and sometimes we imitate without understanding; and that is why sometimes you see someboy telling you that white wedding is more important than traditional marriage. I think the blacks have a great incurable inferiority complex

Seriously my dear, left with me white wedding should have been long gone.

What pains me most is that
*It is not even in the Bible.
*It does not confer marriage ie, doing white marriage alone does not make you married. (Make her people no come brake bottle for your head that day).
* Let me add; very expensive.

Tradition demands that both men and women must remain virgins before they gey married. any man that eventually sleeps with a girl(whether or not she gets pregnant)must marry the girl or face the laws of the land. Before seeing the girl's parents,he must fufill the requirement that qualifies him to own a wife that he would be taking care of for the rest of his life.Now my question goes to the so called traditionalists here- How many of you are virgins? How many of you intend marrying the girl you are currently sleeping with? Do you have what it takes to take good care of who you are sleeping with? Obviously,Most of you do not practise what you preach so how different are you from a westernized african. Traditionalists my a*#!

Guy, which particular tradition/culture are you referring to? or dd you forget that different culture/ethnic group have different tradition. Most cultures and traditions are not against sex before marriage. But like in most part of Igbo tradition, you dont marry a bride that is (obviously) pregnant, you must wait for her to deliver.
