Obie, is this the girl you met in April as referenced in your earlier post? Is this also the girl your parents do not like? Are you planning on marrying her just within 4 months of dating her?

2 Hajj allocation for this dude.

Hey guys...I just popped the question and she said yes!!. Now her family is inviting me over for lunch this weekend. Please any useful tips? On style, dressing or composure? I hope I don't get nervous.

Nyceguy92:
Do not overdress to over impress..
I think dressing in suit is an overkill.

Put on neat regular shirt and trousers, or some simple but well sewn native wear.
One area of importance is your interaction - in the living room or at the dinning table.

Since the girl has said "Yes," chances are her parents won't say "No," so that should give you some measure of confidence.
Expected questions will be:
Where do you come from?
How about your parents?
School......?
Work.......?
Siblings....?

Otherwise, follow up as the mom, dad, or siblings raise the topics.
You may "lead" the dad to talk more on his growing up and business; this will fill the time and take the pressure off your neck.

As for gifts, don't forget a bottle of good wine and/or brandy - whichever her parents consume.
Also something the family consumes on regular basis - eg., beverages and bread - can be added.
You need to leave a mark when you are gone, so something the parents will stumble on around the house that reminds them of you will be fine.

This will be my classic approach if I were you.

go come, nor eat like the way u eat at home remember what your father use to tell you about eating with mouth close, they might tempt you during breakfast to talk, talk with sense and never talk too much.

You can't get it wrong with NON alcoholic drinks, his mother in law might not like strong drinks, you know?
It is safer for him to go with non alcoholic beverages. It will also speak well of him as both major
religions in Nigeria actually condemn the consumption of alcohol.

Vanillaskin:

He about to get married and last time I checked, marriage is for matured people.
People who can take tough decision, so I rest my case

Isiji:


now u are proving to us that u're matured bah ?

there are families who run things (education such 1st degree, M.Sc etc, taking over a business) for their children at early stage because what they their parents have missed in own time...maybe the dude is from such family, understood ?

yattybanana:
@leaving a mark , give an instance bro

AlphaCentauri:
bros you hear the guy na, he says he is very nervous. nervousness = fast heart rate tachycardia. fast heart rate = dizzy spells = fainting

oluwafreshkid:
you defied the odds of this buhari economy and popped the question. Big ups man!

Go traditional. You can never go wrong in white, add a blue cap.

Composure? You should be used to a part of her family already na, be it siblings or mother.
Don't famz the dad o, cos he ain't happy that you're nacking his daughter.

Don't wear matching outfits with ur fiancee. No gallas or any funy haircuts. And don't do touch touch, we are Africans ooo.

Don't talk politics ooo... the father maybe APC. Lol.

Be confident, sharp and clean. Be matured.

Roh50:




The best advice I have ever seen on nairaland. Witty, classic and good advice.
Oluwafreshkid keep it up

Op, he has said it all.

Vanillaskin:

Let me get this straight, you are trying to tell me that there are families who they make decisions for their children like which course to study et all.
Well in that case those children should kontinue to go meet their parents for help on how to get married and while they are doing such they should not forget ask their parents to teach them how to be matured and independent
