It is termed traditional marriage,i.e it must be done in a traditional way of your people in your land or you want to go and practise your tradition in another's man land? Which can't happen.

I don't think it's compulsory unless the bride father hasn't build a house in their current city or due to tradition or believe

So a traditional wedding should be done where the bride's father has a house? Interesting. Its called a traditional wedding 4 a reason

yes,dat is why we have different ethnic groups and their ways of doing things.if u are yoruba,u dont need to good to one village,as long u perform d traditional rites,dat alone makes it traditional.just cos u believe in going to one village to do wedding and others dont,doesnt make urs any better dan them.different strokes for different folks.

If you are Igbo and you are not doing your traditional marriage in your village/home town then something is really amiss.

If I won't come to your home town for traditional wedding/marriage then am not doing anything with you.

@Op..you are suppose to know, you dont need your dad or so to tell you that. Than God he enlightened you.

Gracias

I don't belive it's a must... my cousins didn't do their's in our village so why should I? my village is a fetish place according to my Mum so going to do your trad wedding there is at your own risk.

Two of my cousins recently did their weddings and they both did both the trad and white on the same day in Lagos and the village people came so it's not a must in my opinion. I'm Igbo by the way

Hmm..

My sister who lives in chicago married a nigerian-american guy.

Both met in chi town. Did the traditional bit but did not step foot in nigeria. They happen to cordinate it somehow over the phone and representitives from both villages did the traditional bit in their absence.

I dont think both my sister and brother-in-law cared much but my father is still a bit true to some nigerian traditions and customs. So my sister, god bless her, played along.

She had a fabulous chicago church wedding tho.
