It is a new trend

Another one

again

That's pure and absolute nonsense
For those quoting me in a haste, I repeat:

Having a single and standard traditional wedding is the way. Wearing Isiagu and Igbonizing white wedding does not solve the problems of dual wedding ceremony in Igboland.

wearing Isiagu during white wedding does not change what white wedding represents. White wedding is the white man's traditional wedding which he blended with Christianity. We are Igbos. Do the authentic Igba nkwu and invite the priest(or the minister of your religion) to witness it, give his blessings also and issue marriage certificate similar to what is done during burial.
Jesus Christ ATTENDED traditional marriage and endorsed it through his miracle but didn't preside over it.
Stop washing the back of the cup.

Omoh I support this full time!!!

Catholic church always leading the way

Ibu onye eriri eri...

Groom refuse to wear SUIT

ANOTHER 1

AGAIN

It's still the same thing. The originality of that fabric is still Western.

I totally hate the practice of using the Isi-Agu to sew a dress for whatever occasion.

It is disrespect to the reverence reserved for the fabric as a symbol of status and authority in the Igbo culture!

Cool

It already looks good at this early stage.

I can see this going really far and even displacing European wear.

They will design and redesign it to compete with the European wedding wear.

This clothes are made in china [center][/center] this igbo cultural clothes didn't exist till 1950 igbo were naked before that time

I love the white gown .. With the isiagwu patches below..
Na Yoruba own I wan see That their men big short nicker for alter go mad gonn

Any Igbo lady who wanna wear this gown in few months from now,should pm me for deal.. Must be a virgin ,with average body built,and buwest must be able to stand without support.. Above all,you must have sense.. I dey wait

Don't forget that this particular Church their wedding could be after 3 kids ooo.

The usage of white is symbolic even if most people don't know.

There is no need quoting me, just ask Google.

I am so proud of my ancestral origin.




God I thank you everyday...Na you do this one oooooo.......

Dem done carry Isiagu enter church.
Soon every igbo man will dream of Isiagu print suit abi na coat for his wedding day.
Design the front with gold chain and button, military style.

E just dey start/begin.
