African ladies need to stop making white gown their default wedding dress. And the men suits!

Aso-oke Iro and Buba and the guy's Agbada should do. Same as should other ethnic groups/cultures across make their traditional dresses default.

It will take a miracle to have me wear suit on my wedding day

You are so right! I mean, why can't I wear my traditional attire, with correct gele, and still do the wedding in church? Why do I have to put on a clinically white, uncomfortable costume that will become practically useless after the wedding?
I hope I get to marry someone who understands my stand on this matter, so we can break the status quo and wear amazing trad to church. Still trying to figure out why the wedding must be in church. Can't the man of God pray for us during the family rites

I really do hate that throwing bouquet stuff.

Went for a friend's wedding a long time ago, the MC called us all out and told my friend to throw the bouquet. After that, men should come pick us for a price (1000N and above). I was like, wtf!
Abeg, make I go siddon. Then he said, "see this one - continue, you won't see husband".

Hilariousssss!!!! I am sure u will never b a part of any "bouquet catching" again. Anyyyywaaaaayyy; f**k d MC, do ur tyn gurl.

Bridegroom wearing gloves

"ur waist, ur waist all I want is your waist" and they both started rocking oo, I looked around to see if anyone else found it odd, bt to my surprise everybody just dey dance along. kai!

they had to go with d flow ni.. can't help

@ road16, nice writeup.. but sometimes, d size of d shared cake is a function of d budget, I personally don't subscribe to that tiny size.
for d aso-ebi, it's to make d occasion colourful and really not a do or die.. d discrimination is what should be cut out.
d most important souvenir is d one shared by d couple.. others are just..........
d mc's lack of character to d single ladies, being here n there n wack musician are caused by poor/lack of good planning. with a professional wedding planner, most of d these wud b curbed.

I nominate this as one of the best posts on nairaland this 1st quarter.
