Arrgh! Please Help Me Clear This Up Once And For All! by Confuseddotcom: 12:01am On Jul 24, 2012 |
Basically I'm getting married next year and want to know traditionally how the following practises are to be done. If it helps, the bride is yoruba and the groom is igbo. Which church are the couple to be married, in bride or groom's? Who's traditional wedding ceremony/engagement do we perform, yoruba (bride) or igbo (grooms)? What important role/s do each side (if any) have to play in preparation for the big day? |

Wait till the "Igbo-Yoruba" cultural troupe jams this thread. why don't you and your bride/groom to be consult with your families,relatives and decide on what's best for two of you? In as much as we all want to do things right and follow our traditions,when it comes to marriage,a couple should be able to make personal choices/ decisions based on their pocket and taste. Congrats on your marriage.I love inter tribal marriages. |

See that's the problem. We are consulting but everyone seems to have different ideas My mum (yoruba) says that the groom ought to come to the brides church to get married, but my partner seems to think its the other way round. |

In Igboland, the man marries the woman and not the other way around, therefore the traditional marriage ceremony must be done in the bride's Since he is marrying the woman, he must marry her according to the customs of her people. As for attire, it doesn't really matter if the husband is not concerned with it. Good luck! |

Thanks guys! Looks like hubby-to-be is getting his wires crossed. I would like like to get as many opinions on the subject (also any other aspect of the wedding/marriage procedure) before I confront him with the evidence! |
