I wanna dedicate dis space to my friend Jefferson Akinsheye (SUG president FUT Minna 2011-2012). We lost him dis morning after brief illness. #peace

That brief illness just they kill people anyhow, the thing never get cure

You are right @ op, especially the favouritism shown when serving food and souvenir. Even the manner of greeting from the friend and family is most times lukewarm.
To me it bothers on the knack for people to get excited by what they see only. What they don't know is that some of the 'asoebi-less' guests contributed immensely in cash or kind to the ceremony.
I for one no dy look anybody face. If the sacrifice of a little donation and travelling long distances to your ceremony is not enough, don't attend mine.

That same lace material at 3k, they will bring from naija with George wrapper and head ties and tell us it is $150 in America
Cheap Lace that will have strings of fabric coming out from the sides and bottoms

$150? Them no get the fear of God at all!
Parties nowadays = Money making venture

O the lady.

Eeyah, you always remind me of a certain somebody on this forum. I'm sure you know who

It is a borrowed culture for Igbos
Women's church group and women's meeting are the only people that wore uniforms
Just reading here that Yoruba men also wear asho ebi
That one never reach igbo people side
My husband and I don't even have uniform
Not one
And many Igbo couples I know don't have husband and wife uniforms
Never saw my parents in uniform for one day

I have never seen my dad in traditional wear, not to talk of buying aso-ebi, lol.
My parents don't have husband and wife uniform either, that does not mean my mom's wardrobe is not overflowing with headscarves, george and lace.
You are right about it being a borrowed culture. I even hear some Igbo people refer to the maidens that follow the bride as umu-asoebi. What is the meaning of that? We don't have our own name or what?
Having a theme color for weddings is nice though, I have to admit. Even Oyibos do theme colors.

Lol! @D bolded.
I thought every Nigerian woman likes that oo!

Lol, it looks good in pictures, but it's not comfortable. I've always wondered how a mother in law would travel all the way from the village to the city by bus with an intact head-tie. Those old women are gangsters.

There was one asho ebi I got some years ago and didn't receive any invitation to the wedding
Imagine that
The bride's mom happily gave me asho ebi material and I had to send her texts to find out where the wedding was holding
I almost didn't go but since I had bought the cloth and sewn it I figured it was pretty useless if I didn't go
I drove almost 3 hours to the place,lodged in a hotel sef etc

There's nothing wrong in asoebi,i love the concept,it' makes party looks organize and colourful,i will definitely be doing asoebi for my wedding .

No Ankara, No Semo!!!

You are not stingy, its your choice, so no one can force you...

I know someone that paid 60K for one Aso Ebi, and it's been 7 months now, she's yet to completely pay the person that loaned her and it's giving her sleepless nights


We should just cut our ankara according to our size sha...


Afterall there is Wedding and there is Marriage!!!

Just because she wanted semo
