THE IRONY OF THE RING

  
 

OK, this sounds to me like 'The Lord Of The Rings' (remember that epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson?). Well, I am not about to write another epic movie okay, lol, what I am referring to in this piece is the wedding ring worn by ladies. I had to settle for this title because it sounds just okay for what's on my mind. 

Without any further ado lets get talking. You may already know that the wedding ring, is a symbol of oneness, commitment and devotion, as well as a token of love between couples. Now, there is this circle I discovered among single ladies that is really funny. You know what they say about the 'sweet sixteen', a phrase that depicts the bloom stage in a girls life; that flowery and youthful period when she is the toast and attraction of all the men around? Right! I have seen young girls who got so carried away by their beauty to the extent that they go buy a ring and wear it to discourage men from coming close to them. So they put it either on the engagement finger or the wedding finger and as a result the men think twice before coming close to them, and in most cases they are scared off completely.Not that I have a problem with this in a genuine case, but when it is worn to creat a false impression, I don't think it is right because where it is a play of deceit and it back fires, it is usually scornful.

Now here is the irony in the whole game. Some years later she is almost forty and yet not married, she throws the ring away so that the men will see that she is still single; ironic you would agree. In fact some ladies because of the false lives they've lived, they prefer to continue wearing the ring on the wedding finger while they are yet single at such middle life age just to cover up the shame. Some even have to relocate to another town where they are not known, to live without the ring, secretly praying and hoping that a guy puts a ring on their fingers, how ironic...isn't it?

My point is simple; do the right thing at the right time. My ladies, you might want to think of a better way to ward off the flocking men around you than use that ring cos its a killer strategy. You might just discourage your soul mate with that trick and never get to meet that man of your dreams again. When they flock around you at that bloom stage of your life, you must understand that it is meant to be so, and to your advantage too, that is, you can have a wide range of 'stock' from where to make your choices from. When you don't think you want a guy around you, politely tell them off. That would be more better than the ring trick.

THE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE PHOTOS: PJ WEDS SUNNY

From the massive traffic at Festac town yesterday, you could tell that something was happening and the obvious questions were "what is happening", "who are they", "where're they from" And bla bla blah...lol...It's Josephine Enemor and Sunny Ihesiaba's traditional marriage. It was a colourful, classy and a typical igbo traditional wedding, as both couples are from the eastern part of Nigeria. Everyone was in red, white and gold attires especially the stunning bride in her gold lace, red george with circle patterned embriodery, and a stony glittering gold purse, the groom looking smart and dashing, men in red cap and beautiful maidens in array. I can go on and on about the event and you can be assured that it was funfilled as Royalty Okasions were in charge *wink*... Click HERE  to view their wedding website. More photos after the cut.... ...

SAILING TOGETHER

Written by Royal David Wedding planning and preparation has often time been known as women’s affair, left to be handled by the bride, her mum and friends. Gone are those days where the groom is happily going about his daily routine while the bride talks and visit the vendors all by herself. Ladies! You see, some guys are very homely and are good with domestics and organizing but really don’t know how to come in or get involved. And hey! Guys your ladies needs you to be involved, they want  you to give an opinion about the colours, they need your negotiating skills, and they want you to be by them every step of the planning stage at least to give some compliment, like “wow! Babes I didn’t know you can negotiate this much, or dear, that was a good choice with the florist” Actually many couples don’t realize this but this will probably be the fist major project of your lives together as a couple, and working together goes a long way to binding you two, thereby improving your r...
