When the wedding invitations starts going out, from texts messages to printed cards and calls, immediately promises start coming in , some in cash, materials and all sorts . Often
times you get disappointed along the way, even stranded.
when this happens you wonder why people make promise at
all when they know they cannot fulfill to the fullest or fulfill
at all. i am yet to get the deep freezer promised by a family
friend. if i should calculate unfulfilled cash promises it will
amount to 500,000 after years of marriage. in fact , one of
my grooms men is yet to pay for his cloth. The most painful
one that my wife and i don’t always want to talk about is
this my jobless aunty that has been away in South Africa for
long ,not knowing that she gat no job or money again (got to
know that latter) . she promised us both wedding and engagement cake despite the fact i told her that's we have
been making arrangements with the woman who will help us
within a my wife dreamed 7 steps cake and that we were about paying a deposit of 70k out of the 100k she billed us ,she insisted that she
would handle that for us free of charge.she even promised
that she would bring 100 raps of pounded yam with soup and
enough meats to support whatever food on ground. with all
these promises, i prostrated and thanked her and my star. And
i told myself that though my dad is late but am
reaping his good works. she promised that the cake would be
ready 3 days before the d day. 3days before wedding , no
cake, i called my dear aunty , she said all was ready , second
day , i no see my dearest sister . My wife was furious but i
calmed her down that the worst would be to get Mr. Biggs
cake . so , on the wedding day , i called my aunty , she said she was on her way , that was an hour to the engagement,
coming from a 45 minutes trip ! Well, later she called me
that she was finally on ground at the venue with the cake
i was relieved most especially my wife. My people , lo and
behold , when we saw the engagement cake , my wife nearly
fainted , in fact ,we didn’t even make any attempt to call
the attention of people on sit that there was a cake on the table let alone taking pix . we just left for church immediately
after the engagement, at the reception , i never felt that
shame in my life , my wife actually wished the cutting of
the cake and the feeding stuff should be skipped , this was a
wedding where commissioners were on sit and if not that Mr
gov travelled out of the country, he would ve been around,
the cake was "purely ayanma,and yamayama" it was bad my aunty made less than a step cake and it started the cake less than 12 hours to my wedding . so ,it was not
dry and it looked like a dirt from the dustbin and as for the
food , i only thank God that there was enough food on
ground for people on that day it would have been a sorry
case. Each time i remember all these, i wondered why people do this to people on the day of their joy. Please share your wedding
preparation unfulfilled promise or bleeped up.
