Come with a gift for both parents; doesn't have to be expensive. Expect to wash her dad's car and accompany him to the farm (we dont want your fil to be thinking you are not man enough now do we?) Expect to accompany your fil to his village towns meeting where you ll natirally be expected to assist the older men with the chopping and bxtchering of cow/goats etc ( you have to show your husband material especially the respect part). Cant be seating down whilst elderly men are working.....wheres your home training?? Expect to follow her dad to their family church where the pastor will ask you about your ssxx life and conduct a deliverance from spirit wife....(cant have their daughter getting married to some one who isn't spiritually sound ) |

Be yourself. If you are not the type that gives gifts except there is a real need for it, please don't create an impression you cannot sustain. Be courteous but don't allow yourself to be over ridden. Do your best to ensure you are open minded, flow with the conversation but also, channel it the way you want it. A good example when they talk about your future plans and their daughter and family, be clear on what and how you want to manage your family without compromising your stance. |

Deew22:Nothing much. They'll just ask you where you're from, what you do for a living... The religious ones would ask you about your relationship with God. Just dress responsible when going and answer any questions thrown at you with confidence, and you'll be fine. 1 Like |

Deew22: Just be yourself. They still see you as her friend so nothing spectacular until a formal introduction with your people Don't bother going with any gift . You don't need to impress anyone. Be plain and straight to the point when asked any questions. It's very important to accept whatever gift they give you. Even if it's food, accept and join them to eat. More importantly is to specially thank them for their gesture in receiving you to their home. Please don't talk too much. Talk only when it's necessary. |
