Oga!, I don't know where you're from but when a woman is getting married, her father's culture is what she follows. Need I remind you that her mum was married off of Yoruba land to Edo?.

baby124:

[s]She still comes from two cultures. If her mother was Edo, then you can tell her what to do. At this point, she's a mix of cultures and traditional wedding is a cultural wedding that symbolizes where the couple come from. By the way, not all Edo grooms dress in Bini or Edo attire. I have seen many with agbada. [/s]

Clash of cultures!
These are the reasons why some people reject inter tribal unions.

Kendroid:


So u were present during ur mum's Trad wedding abi?

Shaid of Lai Moha

Benita27:
Stop misleading people. There's nothing like two cultures here. In the African setting, her father's cultures/tradition is what she follows. Perhaps, you just want to let sentiment cloud your judgement. I quit arguing on this matter.

Born2Breed:


I disagree with you. I know of a lady whose husband is not Edo but committed adultery and the man was so sick that the woman had to confess and performed the cleansing rites in the mans family house with the help of her family.

The man got healed immediately.

I was made to understand that its activated once the woman is placed on the groom s fathers lap seven times. No matter the tribe.

I stand to be corrected.

My mum is Edo, married to an Igbo man and she did not do all these drama you are stating here... Is this how you go about monitoring people's wedding?

Errm for those asking, I attended my parents traditional in 2005 because they only did their white wedding in the 80s, due to her family disapproval(she comes from a Muslim home).

Their wedding anniversary is 2nd Dec. You are invited

It's only an advice, don't take it PERSONAL
I'm sure u're married though.

Are you sure the bride price had not been discussed and offered in secret within the girl's family house, prior to the whole event? Even the chief complaining officer wasn't totally sure about that bit. One of my maternal second cousins who got married recently (her father is Edo) did something similar. The bride price was done the day before in the father's house, but it was returned to the groom's family in a rather symbolic manner. The whole action was repeated again the following day, during the traditional ceremony, with same results, just for the eyes of the public

NwaAmaikpe:


She should mind her business and face her job in Italy.

Sanchez01:

Bro, going by your assertion, this would mean they already have three parties; the introduction, the traditional wedding PROPER (which was done in her father's house), and the traditional wedding party (which was done yesterday or on Saturday).

laudate:

Perhaps they thought about the convenience of their guests, which was why they chose to hold it in an event centre where there would be ample space and security??

Or perhaps they wanted to avoid the whole wahala of cleaning up their compound and fixing damages that might have occurred, the day after the festivities are over?

laudate:


No sir. They had just two - introduction (at the end of which bride price was discussed) because groom's family came from afar and needed to go back, and then the traditional wedding proper which took place a month after the introduction.

Sanchez01:

She could be mixed but she remains her father's daughter and would naturally lean towards the father's tradition, save in cases of neglect.

You are clearly arguing about something you don't know much about here. Is it any surprising that most would-be-couples travel to the family house of their soon-to-be brides

I have never seen a traditional wedding ceremony in which a woman presided over just because her daughter is 'mixed'. The emboldened depends on where the bride is from.

asuustrike2009:

She must have being briefed

Sanchez01:
Lol! The second paragraph would be a flimsy excuse of not having the wedding in her father's compound. Who chases her daughter out of her compound to wed in the traditional way just because he is Mysophobic or can't stand dirt?

Sanchez01:

This is my first time of coming across something is this. Where precisely was the man from? I'm asking this because it would still be activated should the man come from some certain areas of the South-South.

Born2Breed:


Ikwerre.

cyndy1000:
Able Observing officer, the wedding has come to an end and was a success so no need drink paracetamol for their headache, besides not all those traditions are been observed. When you do you own wedding you do all the tradition as you want.

Sanchez01:

I was actually referring to Banky and Adesua, sir.

tofolo:
Dem don marry end of story.

baby124:

Did you see the mother carry microphone? The girl simply wanted her wedding a certain way. Not everyone is like you or has your ancestry. Respect others and don't force your opinion on them. The wedding has ended, the couple have moved on. You should also move on with your life and mind your business. Are they your family members?

teresafaith:
She's right

Adesuwa's parent ought to have uphold their tradition but because of yoruba people money they allowed themselves to be bought

Born2Breed:


Some traditions do sustain marriages.

baby124:

Go and beat her and draw her ears now? Mumu. Powede Lawrence whose father is Yoruba but mum Ijaw infused both cultures. You did not come then and cry your eyes out. My friend go and sit in the corner and lick ice cream. Jobless thing.

queenfav:
I tire.. Even in Urhobo land, you can't pay bride price in a hall. It must be in her father's compound or family house. Even if na mud house your papa dey stay, you must set canopy for outside. That's why most trad weddings are done lowkey. A friend that did the first and second dressing in a hotel was abused, that she wasn't married properly. That was the day i knew that they ought to dress the bride in a room in her father's house, not for her to show up dressed from hotel. All these small things are strong traditions.
