A Nigerian man, Meshach Owunebe Oko, also known as Uncle Wowo, has recalled how people mocked him and his wife for using loaves of bread as cake on their wedding day.


Oko, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on their first wedding anniversary on Wednesday, April 3, said the matter was made worse as his wife's makeup artist disappointed her. He however said, they are still waxing strong as couple.

“Many did not believe we actually used bread as cake on our wedding day. To make matters worse, my wife's make up artist disappointed her,” he wrote.

"Some of our friends hurriedly posted our pictures online in a bid to mock us but to God be the glory, almost all the blogs in Nigeria took our story and gave us free publicity.

"One year later and we're still bouncing and waxing in great love. So here's to One year of unstoppable bread in our home.

“Moral lesson: After wedding, marriage dey, reason am well before you impress anybody for one day.

It was not, and still not a must to cut cake on your wedding.
E no dey compulsory.

Even the loaves of bread look ridiculous.

This is when couple understand each other and make plans according to their pocket

So if I can't do cake

Na bread I go come use

So that I go turn to meme

Unless they are chasing clout
They look like who could afford cake

True that. Did my trad and white without cutting cake, though my wife actually had one made for us to eat in the house after the white wedding

But is it a must to cut cake?
Why not do court marriage and tske pictures with family. Simple

Good 👍 one

So he had money to highlight his hair while she had money for a makeup artist, but they couldn't afford to buy wedding cake? What in the name of witchcraft is this?

But anyways, I never liked those wedding cakes to begin with, they're too sweet for my liking...🤢🤢🤢
