Whose Name Should Really Come First When Printing A Wedding Card;the Guy Or Lady by MummyIMadeIt: 1:11am On Mar 28, 2017
My wonderful people of N.L, i greet you all in the name of Christ Jesus and his love. It has not been an easy one out here as it has been hot all day long not because of the weather but because of a new insight to knowledge that has been presented to me by my DAD.

Uhmm! brosis and ladies to cut the long story short, My DAD is erudite of knowledge on his own and a strict DISCIPLINARIAN and that no one except God can take away from him; so it happens that he has always have his stand that during the wedding ceremony of a couple, that the MAN'S NAME SHOULD ALWAYS COME BEFORE HIS LADY'S NAME AS THAT IS THE NORM THAT SHOULD BE PRACTICED NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND WHERE THE WIFE'S NAME APPEARS BEFORE HER HUSBAND'S NAME.


e.g.

It should be HECTOR weds BUNMI; and not BUNMI weds HECTOR

CAVEAT: the names here aren't in anyways in relation to any moniker here on N.L.

Lemme drop some of his reasons here, but i believe most feminist would never agree with me on this though but no shaking, as the saying goes "No Knowledge is Ever a Waste". So guys get ready to be enlightened likewise females.

cheesy wow this is laughable bro, your thoughts just humor me. grin

REASONS FOR HAVING THE HUSBAND'S NAME BEFORE HIS WIFE'S NAME ARE AS FOLLOWS:

[b]1. CULTURE - some people are already saying they know this would come to play here, well you are not far fetched with your reasoning, as we were told that the term 'CULTURE' refers to the way, behavior and lifestyle of a group of people. It should also interest you to know that "when a man forgets his HISTORY such man is LOST to his existence", hence we should strive to remember that we once had a lifestyle before Western Civilization swept through the corridors of our Nation corroding away our basic lifestyle.
Be it the Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas which where on the fore front of colonization, never was the word and practice of the so called WHITE WEDDING CEREMONY in place as each tribe mainly recognizes one outstanding Marriage Ceremony and be it as it may, this is known as the TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE which solely recognizes the Man as the Head of the home and supported the case for the Man's name to be in the fore front and not otherwise as seen in present days.

It's a last honour given to you woman before marriage. Right from your wedding venue, you will be introduced as Mr & Mrs..... and forever (even if she footed all the wedding bills)
2ndly, she accepted your marriage proposal (under normal circumstances)

I disagree with you, and this would be in the reason number two....

#2. The illusion that the WOMAN OWNS THE MARRIAGE is what is been used here. In Africa, no woman owns a marriage and the honor of a woman is in her MAN. So if you decide that your last honor to a woman is in her marriage to you, then what happens after her birth to your children. Besides the honor of a woman is displayed during her TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE(T.M) as it's the man who goes to seek for the hand of his lady in her fathers home not the other way around, therefore when you celebrate both T.M and W.W in the quest of honoring your wife for the LAST TIME, aren't you contradicting your earlier T.M

To disprove your Second claim, i would want you to know that it's the man that would leave his family to go seek after a lady of his choice, as they would into cleave to begin the Mans family. So if you ask me Marriage in Africa should be about the MAN not WOMAN because the man is the one bidding farewell to his immediate family to start his and not the woman

Answer this question honestly, and you would seek the answer you find.

Who really Owns the World? Is it the Man or the Woman.. If the earlier hence the woman has always been under the dominion of the Man from time immemorial as she is known to succumb to her parent(DAD) and to a higher authority the Man. No woman is born free, that is why you see the recent trend of Feminist trying so hard to get their freedom, which is never possible as many women are against their approach. So it's a natural trait. The Man is a Dominant Gene to the Woman's.

Re: Whose Name Should Really Come First When Printing A Wedding Card;the Guy Or Lady by Lunagirl(f): 2:38pm On Mar 28, 2017
People like to carry unnecessary things and make it major issues. So basically,

1) You scaled through the hustle of gathering money for wedding and raising a family.

2) You scaled through the hustle of finding a good partner in this adulterated world.

3) You scaled through village people and their antics.


And then the issue at hand will now be whose name should be on the wedding IV page. Why should it even matter? If it must be discussed, I don't expect it to be a serious discussion. If he wants his name there, fine. If he wants mine, fine. It shouldn't even matter!

But who am I to talk? I still dey find the kin husband sef grin grin

a lot, just like I said either way some choose the girls name before Thiers and others vice versa, based on religious reason, cultures, ego,or personal decisions, although I sometimes influence the indecisive ones to put the lady first, since she's coming as an addition to the guy, so hope have answered well?

Its my strong OPINION that when doing something its worth doing the RIGHTWAY, and its not everything that the westernworld throw unto our path we have to copy because they have their own way of reasoning and behavior.

Wedding Invitation cards are definitely western. So also is the church/ white wedding especially wearing of the wedding dress started by Queen Victoria of Britain, which subsequently found its way to us centuries later.

If we gladly and even proudly accept these westerm world activities, what is wrong in writing the names on the IVs the way they do? Afterall, we copied the concept of wedding IVs from them, We copied the marriage rites from them, so what is the hullaballo about?
