I've been to both Igbo and Yoruba wedding receptions. One thing I know for sure is that in Yoruba weddings food is usually surplus amd they don't discriminate whether you are "mo gbo mo branch" one reason is that Yoruba foods are cheap to prepare unlike Igbo foods.

In Igbo weddings the meat is very small unlike yoruba weddings which you have bigger meats in Igbo weddings drinks most especially beer is very very surplus that I can boldly attest to .
So it's a matter of choice when next you attend a wedding party or any other party be sharp and calculate ahead when it's time to share food. Make friends with the servers, be ready to flip seats or better still keep two seats at a time one in front row and other in back row cos u can never tell where food will ist be served.
Normally at parties make the servers of drinks and food are usually different make friends with both of them, and promise both servers that you are gonna get them both if they serve you. I.E: collect drink from a server get ur food from another sever and give the drink to the food server and vice versa after such gesture u'll get anything u want from the servers.
Dress very well I recommend traditional infact more than the invited and never beg for food at parties use commanding tone to the servers if they attempt to misbehave threaten them.
I rem back then at school friends loved sitting with me at parties cos they know they will not only eat but eat double.
Never settle for "there is rice but no meat'' it's crazy. grin

Mod pls stop bringing igbo matters to front page. Whether the post is in positive or negative light, I just hate igbos. They are stingy, backward, fraudulent and money-mongers.

In all you said you didn't mention when you gave money to support the couple. After eating the food you left, that must be your only reason for going there. Akpiri ogologo.

It's actually a problem in igbo weddings.
After spending a lot during the traditional marriage rites, they get to the white/trad wedding and all their plan is to recoup all the money.

-They will sell egg
-Sell handkerchief
-To cut cake...money
-Before they come in, you must arrange money on the path they'll dance through.
-Then they come in and dance and you'll still drop money on their chairs before they sit
-They will line the bridesmaids or aso ebi ladies and guys must come drop a certain amount for them to go sit down.

Some are innocent of these charges though.
shatap that ur smelling afonja mouth there undecided ,you think say any igbo man in his right senses go marry you?

I don't know what that means, but it sounds pretty funny.
Btw, more than 50% of people that attends such parties hardly give anything to the newly wedded. grin
Re: The Weirdest Igbo Wedding Story By A Twitter User by Chijosky(m): 3:44pm On Feb 20, 2017
He's saying the truth, the occasion lacks committee of friends so food is shared based on who know who, But the worst part of it is that, next morning they will start pouring spoiled food away, that is why I don't like this caterer of a thing

That's typical Igbo party

I didn't get any food nor refreshment at my Igbo friend's wedding but food and drinks keeps going to a particular section unflinchingly.

Nothing like a YORUBA party

Eat well and drink enough water before you go to Igbo party cos if you don't, you slump before the party starts
You are always present in every thread that tends to portray Igbos in bad light making your hate comments! You're still a struggling guy yet you're full of hate and bitterness towards the Igbos. How will you relate with an Igbo man in real life? Do you show how them how much you hate them? Change your ways young man, you will still have to deal with people other than your tribe in the course of your life including the Igbos you despise so much.

Na food you find go there abi na wedding you attend? embarassed
In reality, many Igbo occasions focus on cartons of beer and alcohol and less on food as that is the story the people will use to tell about the event as in 'there was so much drink that many people got drunk' while Yoruba events focus more on food and meat and less on drinks.

Actually, there is also another mentality in Igbo events that if people finish eating early they will desert the event and the venue will be empty.
Normally coolers of food are prepared and labelled according to groups expected at the event such as Umuada, Ndi Youth, Friends of the bride and groom, in-laws, age grade, etc Next time find the group you belong to and your 'chairman' will be the one to go and get your food. But unfortunately you didnt belong to any group you gate crashed and you are lamenting on social media grin

Abeg no vex with them jare! Afterall, no where in your thread did you mention how much you sprayed on the couple or how much you paid into their account as support; Igbos dont actually like your type at their events who focus on what you can get and the food you will eat free.

Next time you want to attend Igbo event chop very well for house but be ready to be drenched in plenty bottles of beer which was why they shared 33 larger beer when you were expecting to chop rice grin grin grin
