I am an Igbo lady marrying a yoruba man over here in the UK in the next couple of months. I wish to incorporate both the Igbo tradition and the Yoruba tradition into the traditional wedding on that day. He is from Nigeria but I was raised in the UK.
Do you have any tips how I should go about it? I plan to change my outfits from the traditional Igbo "judge" to the Yoruba aso oke perhaps. How do I incorporate carrying the palm wine as well as other Yoruba traditions?

Thanks!

Why do you chose a Yoruba man of all Nigerian men? You better remain single than marry a Yoruba man because he will definitely marry another woman

Well firstly congratulations! Since you're the bride, I would say the majority of the traditional wedding should flow towards the Igbo side. But you could incorporate Yoruba aspects such as the groom prostrating to your parents, the women representing both sides of the family (there's a name for them but I can't remember it lol and one could be Igbo)and when you finally come out to give him the palm wine, you can wear the traditional Igbo attire and put the Yoruba veil on top. Hope this helps.

Not far from the truth.

Go and hide your face in shame. I wonder the sort of home you come from. Why are there so many shameless girls today pretending to be Igbo?.

OP,Since you are Igbo,why not maintain your identity for at least that day;be as much Igbo as you can.
It would be good to see you in full Igbo regalia while your husband goes with Yoruba attire too.
Congratulations in your marriage and all the best.Ignore the negative comments here,their opinions don't matter when it comes to your life,ok?

A disturbed yoruba guy would have said the same if the poster were to be a yoruba marrying a igbo man. But why such headache in other's business??
