Over the weekend, a couple whose wedding IV was the trending topic because it had a bold ‘no reception’ written on the IV, actually had a wedding reception courtesy of family and friends.

The groom, Adewale Yusuf, wrote on his twitter account:

so the weekend was full of drama as our wedding IV trended because of our #NoReception decision. I’m glad my wife is laughing about it now, because it wasn’t funny over the weekend. Thanks to everyone that insulted or defended us, we’re happy with our decision. We’re happy with our decision.

He said he was tricked to a reception by his colleagues. According to Yusuf, they wanted a small wedding but got dragged into a surprise wedding reception which was all paid for by his mentors and friends. He wrote on his Instagram account:

My wife and I had decided to not have a reception party after our wedding. Just church service, nothing big. But, on the day of the event after we had taken our pictures, I was tricked to the office by my mentors and to my surprise my team and friends had planned a surprise reception party for us.I have never been that surprised in my entire life. I was so shocked, that it took me hours to recover fully. One of the most heartwarming thing was that the team members who have moved on from the company, contributed towards the reception, as well. I believe in team spirit and that action reinforced my belief. Thank you #Techpointers

The boldness from the couple is epic. I can't just imagine anyone coming up with something like that.

Wanna derail a little: Assuming these our corrupt and greedy leaders had made this country habitable to her citizens, our people won't have been victims of these xenophobic attacks in S.A.

Nigerians home and abroad need to stand up and fight for this Country or else there won't be a safe haven for any Nigerian.

God bless thier union Jare.. Na amebo Nigerian sabi

Count yourself blessed when you are surrounded by positive minded people. They won't ever let you down.

Tested and trusted

It costs Zero Naira to be real.. I love their courage and Boldness... and to the wife most especially she is a goddess, her type of woman is rare in this present day Nigeria of IPhone and sharwama girls... God bless their Marriage

More like they just needed to reduce the numbers of guest who would have attended the reception.. Nice strategy though..

So all the while it was not that the n1gga had something against reception. He just didn't see it as necessary. A waste of money.

A true king. I stan.

I had to check the name of the people doing the wedding. Immediately I saw a yoruba connection there. Forget, if they do not plan reception sef, his mother will borrow money to do one.

Everything is going wrong in Nigeria at the moment...
Right now u can't travel easily to any European countries in the world once u are from Nigeria.
The US president has said that even if u give birth in US don't qualify ur child as a citizen.
Visa fees have been increased
We are bn paraded for so many offences in different parts of the world.
Nigerians are bn killed and detained in every part of the world
All eyes are watching Nigerians now..
The name NIGERIA is so loud on every TV stations world wide for our misbehaviours.
Now our fellow Africans are now killing us for no reason
all because of envy and jealousy that we are making it in their countries
BUHARI our youths are not LAZY.
Lack of jobs and means of survival led to all this
Empower us and trust a better Nigeria.
God help and protect Nigerians in diaspora

If given the chance again, I'd rather have something light for my reception as well. I just fed over 3000people for no just cause

Davash222:
Shut up, no one dragged you into any surprise wedding reception. You know what you’re doing. You needed attention and now you have it. Enjoy it while it last.

You are always bitter! Why?

That young man is a media person. He owns the biggest tech blog in the country. He doesn't need "any attention" or whatever you call it. He already has always had the attention as he runs a website that has over 400k monthly visits.

That young man don hustle, from back in the days at CC Hub. Things don dey pure for am. I am really happy for him.

If you don't have anything meaningful to say, must you talk to confirm to everyone

Rare wife material, 3000 yards

This man beat me to my plan:

On my wedding, no reception, no food, I'm coming in with boxer and singlet, she can wear whatever pleases her.

attendant not more than 50, everyone is going home with a live chicken, a bottle of red wine and 10 congos of uncooked local rice with stew ingredients...


The wedding will not be more than 45minutes...

No time for dancing, go to your house and cook, eat, drink and dance.

Igbo chicks fine die!
Na dem dey rush us.
Asa nwa.

You are wrong about giving birth in U.S. It only says children of Citizens outside U.S will not have automatic citizenship.

This is lovely.

They have been pronounced HUSBAND and WIFE that's the fact

You've opened the portal fully. The human thought and the thinking substance is so powerful that when you're busy thinking the other is busy doing.
Life rule - Execute!

Africa oyaa let's change the age-long narrative. It's not about an elaborate wedding it's about a Happy and successful marriage. Don't mistaken the both. Never live in this world to please MEN, you only live once. This is a journey of two people and in the end it's just you both no one else. .
When you're invited to a wedding the purpose is to come "bear witness", everything thing else is just jara at the celebrant's discretion. .
Go and enjoy this amazing marriage bruh. God bless your Union. .
