What's the big deal? Greater fights are coming. Hope you all have mastered how much a tin of similac is going to cost?

On a lighter note, why do most women favour tradition when it benefits them? Like the issue of the woman changing her last name to her husband's last name was said to be a bad tradition by some women. Nobody said anything about Prince William's name coming first!

OP.
The man's name first

Does it really matter . . . . d main thing is for the IV to reach the invitees abi? #justsaying

Thanks y'all for ur nice and not-so-nice comments. We've agreed to have the card with his name first.

This decision was reached when we couldn't find any good reason why it shouldn't be so apart from the fact that it's a long time tradition. We believe that the reason is not good enough, and as someone said,it's our wedding so we can afford to make the rules. Thanks again for your inputs. More Blessings!

So when are we getting our invites? I certainly don't want to miss out on the jellof rice at the reception.

d girl family no dey orgainse Jack.Unless she don old well well, and na push b4 the guy go see sense.

Women have different definitions on things to suit them. They call Dowry, Bride price.Praying to God for answers while they are considering if you cld be the one.A woman wants to be on top: Dr Mrs, Police Officer, Chief but when thieves knock the door, she will tell u to go and welcome them.The man first when there is a danger but them first when there isn't. I remember one joke, a couple was traveling to the East and when accosted by robbers, the robbers asked the man ur money or ur life, he responded my wife.The woman shouted, they asked ur life.

There is nothing wrong with whose name to come first on wedding card,but don't forget the saying that says "ladies and gentle men"this means that ladies should come first[color=#990000][/color]

Chivalry is perhaps behind this reasoning which is common in the west.

I have always felt, the mans name should come first. Everyone, keeps saying the woman's should come first; nobody say's why.

The poster husband to be is not a bad person, he just wants everyone to know who is boss and there is nothing wrong with that except ur by one of this "educated the television chicks" who think otherwise.

When i get married my name is coming first on that card, whether she like it or not - Check the first page of this thread, the prince's wedding IV say's it all .

When the man marries the woman, he's name comes first. When the woman marries the man, her name comes first.

OP, anything wey him say, fine o. as long as you love him and he is stinky rich after marriage eh, come show am say you don come and decision no be only man side e dey

most pple who will be getting the card are already aware Nkem is marry Ada and are coming there to wack belle ful. so let it be bo.
cheers.
nowadays guys sef wahala too me eh!

Princek12:

I am not disagreeing with you. My point is that if that same Oyinbo tradition had a practice of putting a man's name first, these women will say you should not follow it. But in Prince Wiliiam and Kate's wedding, Prince William's name came first before Kate's. So I don't even know which Oyinbo tradition you are talking about?

Err, why does everyone keep mentioning Prince Williams as an example Was that not the same wedding those commentators unfailingly reminded us every one minute that the wife-to-be was a commoner So on this basis, is she not lucky she even got her name printed on the same paper as his


Owitshiwitshi, see them comparing themselves to the future king of England

Hasn't this issue been cleared already?

Well, until we get our invitation letter in the mail to confirm with our own two korokoro eyes whose name came first, how are we supposed to know, duh

I had the same question during my wedding plans, its 2 years now i cant remember if it was my name or his that came first!

The groom must be an Ibo man! Nna, he is the one marrying the girl now, so why should his name be hidden behind her own? Abeg, na only woman wrapper go gree for that kind nonsense! It is either the man's name come first or no marriage!

^Give it a rest. I am Igbo and I don't share your views, besides this issue has been closed hasn't it.

Don't worry ma'am. He is a perfect gentleman. Thanks

Though the issue is almost closed, I found something interesting here:

This is a true reprsentation of the saying "Much ado about nothing". The man marries(takes in) the woman, since he's d one that proposes, while the woman gets married to (accepts) the man. So the grammatical construction determines whose name comes first. Whatever the case be careful of public opinion on marriage issues, as there a lot of subtle home-spoiling counsels, capable of reaping your union apart. Let the Bible,Holy Spirit and true Christian advice be your guide. Marriage is all about necessary compromise, remember no real man cherishes when his authority is questioned, but appreciates when softly and respectfully advised. But because something has been in practise does not always make it right"

I think man should be the one wedding the woman, this is the high time the old fashion be changed. Mine is on the way and my name is undoubtedly coming first.

OP,

The man's name comes first 'cos he's the one marrying the lady.

I know churches that don't accept the lady's name coming first, as a result they inspect the I.V before it is printed.

Have a happy married life.

Really? I didn't know churches consider such things.

im sorry but if he is willing to call off the entire wedding over the position of teh names on the invitation there are deeper issues here. this is a time to sit back and think. if your cerimony hinges on his name placement what will be brought up in the future, what other trivial things are going to cause dramatic ultimatums in the future?

Sorry ma'am, where in the my post did you see me state that he wants to call off the wedding? I said that he wants to know the reason why it's the woman first and not the man, and that we may not have a card if he doesn't see a good reason why it should be so. Na wa o!

your post come dey develop him own leg and wings baa
dem come add maggi, salt, pepper and ogiri put

@babyme -- de man is damm right  it maybe a mistake to other IV card as he said,  but de truth is de man name shuld come first unless if de woman is sponsoring de wedding den her name can come first.
