THE WEIRD BRIDE




By Royal David

Yes its my bigday and I am super excited, I had woken up three hours earlier but guess what I have nothing in my mind to worry about. Just a little bit of nervousness. Today I will walk down the aisle as a bride but alone. Call me weird but I want no one, no entourage, no train not even a lil bride. Daddy take me by the hand and lead me to the man of my dreams. I want his eyes fixed on me, with no distractions as I walk towards him, our eyes and smiles communicating uninterruptedly, I want all eyes on me and me alone. 

Thanks my darling friends but can you cheer me from the pew and take snap shots of me as I walk down the aisle to the altar by myself. Thank me later because I have taken away the burden brides & grooms place on their train in recent times. 

Call me weird but I want no aso ebi, I want you smartly dressed in your contemporary clothes, and colours that I have picked. Keep your natives and traditional attire for the traditional marriage or for another of our friends wedding.

 Call me weird but I want my friends and family to sit and enjoy the party without running around, let my wedding planners/event managers work for what they are being paid for. 

Call me weird but I wont give you a souvenir except you get me a gift, no offense. I am the bride and this is what I want for my big day, it will give me less things to worry about and of course less stress. By the way, you have no reason not to get me a gift: you are not buying aso ebi, you are not purchasing the bridal-train attire, you are not working for me,....etc so convert your energy and your money to a gift..*wink* 
Now you see the weird bride has become the Happy bride.*broad smile* 

If this is what makes me weird, then I am sure I wont be the last weird bride you'll see.

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.... ...
