Lagos, Nigeria, is renowned for a lot of things – her buzz, her vibrant social life, and her cosmopolitan nature. And being home to about twenty-four million people, it is not surprising that parties are frequent in Lagos. Lagos parties are typically very bubbly and can be a source of competition between neighbors, families, and friends.

“ Memoirs of a Lagos Wedding Planner,” by Tolulope Popoola chronicle the experiences of a typical wedding planner in Lagos. The name suggests they are actual events and not fiction, but then, truth they say is stranger than fiction.

There are ten episodes in the book and most of the accounts are absolutely hilarious. The episodes capture the frenzy and glitz of Lagos weddings and give us a glimpse of the “behind the scene” or “pre-wedding” drama.

The planner has the advantage of very close interactions with the bride, groom and their families during the planning process. The planner is, therefore, able to see signs of impending disaster sometimes. However, because the planner is not infallible, she does get the shock of short-lived marriages after obvious chemistry and bonding between some couples during the wedding. I like that admission because it is close to what happens in real life. Sometimes marriages break up soon after they were enacted and outsiders wonder what really went wrong.
