| Igbo Culture Experts: Help With My Traditional Wedding Agenda by shilling(op): 10:08am On Apr 21, 2022 |
I'm getting married in August in Canada. Future husband is not Igbo and I've never been to an Igbo wedding. What is the agenda for a traditional Igbo wedding and why do Nigerian weddings last so long? Friday, maybe 5:30pm start: 1. Opening prayer (5mins) 2. Introduction and special recognition of guests on high table and seats (15 mins) 3. Bridal entrance with friends (5mins) 5 Bride’s tasked to find the groom. Bride gives him palm wine and he puts money in her cup (5 mins - pls what's the significance of this?) 6. Couple goes to elders who bless them (10 mins) 7. Groom presents gifts to bride's family (5 mins) 8. Dinner and drinks (60 mins) 9. Couples first dance (10 mins) 10. Cutting of the cake and feeding each other (5 mins) 11. Speeches from best man/woman (5 mins) 12. Vote of thanks and closing prayer (5 mins) 13. Dancing can continue. Am I missing anything? 1 Like |
