I don't get this. Is it not crazy to put on 3 to 4 clothes in a day, cut 2 to 3 cakes for the SAME event?


What exactly is the traditional wedding meant to do after the Church joining? Appease the gods of our forefathers?


Sometimes I feel like beating up whoever invented these craz.y ideas that obviously drain, not only the blood, but resources.
Actually...its cumbersome

I'm in your exact shoes.

This is how I planned mine. Bride price the day before with max of 10 people in attendance. This will happen around 5pm or so.

Following day. White wedding first. Then we do a little dance dance. (PS: I'm cutting my cake here).

After which, I change for trad, do igba-nkwu and dance again. End of story. ( you can decide to cut cake here). I decided to cut mine earlier cos makeup would still be fresh and people would be attendance.

Trad would begin from 3pm, by then people would be more interested in food and other stuff is secondary.

As per deco, mine is trad oriented. Cos I don't intend to stay in my dress for long at all.

All the best.

Does that mean your cake will not be traditionally oriented?

Good one girls. I attended a wedding recently , babe is Igbo. She already did the court and traditional weddings in the past but needed all her docks aligned in a photoshoot. So she eventually did white, trad, and reception in a day last Saturday. Yeah...she broke the bank cos her bobo is a money bag


You could plan yours too with strict time adherence with all done in a day. Just beg you people to conform...in fact keep the timer with an highly revered uncle

As for me, I'm no gonna bother with white, trad, this that...I would just go to court and have the rest in a garden with not more than 100people in attendance. The yams and go will be delivered by courier

Lol... Way to go. You wed for yourself and not for others

Good initiative, as in good thinking in d right direction. A major factor will be your church, good understanding and agreement should be made with ur chch. They will give you the modality
A frd case:
Denomination: catholic
Venue:somewhere in benue
Resident: lagos
Event day: friday
D gist; bride n friends left lag for benue on d previous Thursday. Groom, parents and friends left lagos and Akure on friday (d day), arrived benue around 6:30pm and event started to 8pm as all arrangements had previously been made. It continues into a mummy's call time. As DJ blasted til dawn. Early saturday morning we are in d church as d priest bless d union in holy matrimony after which we went home, pack baggages and took off back to lag.

Wow!

Since the bride price/trad is the previous day let it end there, take your pictures and all.
Next day after church do your normal reception , non trad decor, non-trad cake, non-trad attire.shikena

Thought of this too. Thanks a lot

I'm an Anambra bride-to-be. I suggested to my fiance that we hold all events (traditional and church wedding receptions) in one day. 
My line of thought was: 
♥On the previous day, the bride price will be paid as the church holds it as a prerequisite, while the following day, all receptions hold together after the church wedding. 

As much as I'm trying to save cost, I still want a memorable event. 
I'm confused as to how to merge the 2 events in one.
☆Do I wear traditional attire for the reception and have a traditional wedding cake?
☆How will the programme of event look like?
☆Will the decorations be traditionally oriented? 

Trying to ease the burden off my fiance.
Please kindly assist with ideas. Thank you muchos!
