It's just a way of honoring the bride-to-be knowing fully well that that would be the last time her name would appear first. Husband's name takes over thereafter.

This is a very good question OP. In my opinion, i believe the lady sacrifice so much to stay permanently with her husband such as ; Surname, changing family entirely, adapting to a culture and or norms entirely different from hers etc. are enough reasons to accord her the priority on her wedding day. Cheers!

What of the one who carry and the guy denied responsibility but later changed his mind and married herhuh?


psalmson001:
During proposal, the man asks the lady "will you marry me?" which she replies "yes I will marry you" .....many believes its the lady that's agreed to marry the man.

So that's why on many wedding IV you will see "sisi comfort weds broda sodiq"

My opinion tho.

It's also an honor since that is the last time she's going to known and called by her family name (under ideal situation).

This is not too much considering that a woman is practically giving up herself to be under a man. She's giving up her name to take yours. Give her the honor of bearing that name for the last time on they great day by coming first!

You can choose to put your name first. It doesn't change anything. Somethings we do are just because we see people doing it

Secondly wedding day is the woman's day. That's why she's beautifully adorned in a special white wedding gown beautifully designed for that event, whereas the man wears his normal suit which he can as well wear any other day.

Our affar mails are finding new trivial and asinine reasons to “assert their dominance” as men. Imagine being this concerned over the placement of names on a wedding invite. Such fragile male egos
Ha! Hajiya! It's just curiousity. Plenty people don ask this question tire. And I believe say you fit get small idea why it is so; at least help us out mana!
