People are actually mixing up introduction and engagement. its on engagement day that u wear same attire, whilst on introd day its casual dress by both

Now listen. Once I see U guys dressed dis way, I take it 2 be an INSULT to d lady's family

big insult regardless if its intentional or otherwise.

Poster, try this outfit your inlaws go like am

if your daughter brings home someone dressed in that type of outfit, wont you faint in shock?

Many ladies actually spoil their chances of getting married in future by dressing in same atires with an ordnary bf later 2 dump dem!
An introduction might even be d ocassion to end a relationship? D purpose of Yoruba introduction is 2 discova d people u r marrying into. ive seen an intro. dat resulted in d discovery dat d couple were actually related as in step cousins. Also its respectful & humble to approach a family as an individual. D same cloth shows u r forcing urself in without their consent yet.

To add 2 my earlier post, 4 ur info. d intro. ought 2 b d last point where u can change ur mind b4 d real joining 2getha. Some people discova dark secrets of d new family during d intro. Info about generational problems like family disunity, albinism, vitiligo, epilepsy, madness, bareness, imbercility, poverty, jazz etc can be brought to surface so u know what u r doing b4 u go ahead. wearing same cloth means u already made your mind up. wearing a same atire wit any other person afta dis shows u r a FOOL!

not necessarily but helps you to be organised but either way you can do without it,

That is one fcking sicko!

Wait o. . . .sebi introduction comes after the guy has proposed to the girl right?

anyway, according to my family sha, the couple have to wear the same attire and apparently, that's the way it should be done. i personally do not agree but. . . . .

Chidoxyl:

On Introduction Day? Y wear d same outfit? Me think wearing d same outfit is absurd cos Introduction is not Engagement. Your Introduction day is a day appointed 4 your family members 2 meet d lady's family members in their home & make your intention 2 marry their daughter known 2 them. It is also a day dat could be termed as your first official visit 2 your would-be inlaws.

Now, y come 2 make your intention 2 marry my daughter known 2 me wen both U & my daughter are already wearing d same outfit? Do U not understand that wearing d same outfit means U guys are already running things. So, if U both are already running things, wat then becomes d essence of d Introduction?

Now listen. Once I see U guys dressed dis way, I take it 2 be an INSULT to d lady's family (my family as d lady's father). And me seeing it as an insult could lead me 2 taking a very unpleasant decision.

Hence, wearing Identical outfits For Introduction should not even be an option 2 d 2 'unknown families', talk-less of being compulsory!

What of a couple trying to do introduction and traditional marriage the same day. How would you suggest they dress?

"Attention Kritikul" - In d event of this taking place on d same day, it is expected dat both event would not run at d same time. We would expect d introduction to hold b4 d engagement. If this is so, then, d couple are not 2 wear same atire during the introduction ceremony. Once the introduction ceremony is done with, then I'wd expect them to change quickly into their engagement atire & be dressed in identical outfit for dat ceremony.

Changing outfits or atire takes & cost nothing!

A case study are couples who hold their engagement & wedding together on d same day (just like I'll be doing with my Queen come Saturday 15th October, 2011). Of course, immediately after the engagement ceremony, we will be changing into our wedding suit (4 me) & gown (4 my Queen). You are thus, invited.

So you notice all this on just one day!! are an herbalists, doctors and accountants involved - Bareness, imbercility, poverty

Many people wear the same attires to ceremonies now

if it is what your fiance wants, just do it. it is just for that one day.

Is not compulsory,but if he insists no big deal.

;DMy hubby wore suit while I wore a simple triad.No big deal.
