Mine was actually my sister's wedding which was held 2 weeks ago, Everything went cool, not untill one among the Alfa's (Islamic cleric) we invited, ran away with all the money they made, up-till this moment the Alfa has not been caught,All his close contact could not even trace him......

I was my friend’s maid of honor. I was supposed to be with her by Thursday evening because of rehearsal.Had some last minute shopping to do at the mall.While there, I lost my car key & had no spare key.To make matters worse, the key ignition was not the original that the car came with. A key had broken in the ignition previously & they had changed it, so even reading the VIN to a dealer for a copy of the key would have been useless.My head wasn’t thinking that I could call a tow truck. Got a hotel across the mall & spent the night. Next day which was Friday some friends who were driving the 6 hours for the wedding venue came to pick up some items I had bought for the wedding .I had gone to the mall to figure out the car issue & my family was in Canada. God! See confusion. I let the friends go and told them l’d catch a flight. I later realized I didn’t pay attention to the time. Had to change flight to Saturday morning.God my friend was mad as hell, her husband, then fiancé is the one who kept calling me.Arrived in Philadelphia at 11am, Hair wasn’t done because the plan was for her hair dresser to do it. Had to rush from the airport to the hairdresser .Though I had looked for the makeup artist, I was the last arrival & she had to do my makeup last. It was done terribly because she was late for another job & I had left my own makeup at home trusting a makeup artist would do a perfect job.Was writing the speech during my flight, but it turned out good & received some nice feedback .LoL. The entire bridal party had to change hotels that morning of the wedding claiming there were hygiene issues.Not to mention one of the bridesmaids who seemed jealous because she wasn’t chosen as the maid of honor.I nearly cursed that girl out I swear!Anyway, the rest of the wedding went on well, but it had really started off terribly. Am glad they had a beautiful wedding because the devil had showed his face but me & her pastor took a moment to pray before the bridal party entered into the church.

Some years ago at my big bro wedding. The bride's family decided to serve dere own peopl based on the arrangment we had with dem. The stupid caterer we got makeaway with d meat and refuse to bring d food to reception. The cake was so bad that d husband refused to feed his wife with after he had tasted it wen d wife was feeding him, he only whispered to d wife "babe u cant eat it" . Long story short, most of d grooms peopl didnt eat dt day and dos thT ate did without meat. We learnt our lesson instantly cos since den we hav allowed d bride's fMily to takia of d reception and we still do mKe little plan incase dem no won do straight

sthecy:
Ain’t married yet.....no story to tell for now

And you be bae o. We dont have to wait to long, baby? Hmu

Chuknovski:
mine the DJ was playing yeye music like he was cursed, I frowned all through couldn't dance, he later played well when the guest had left, not to mention the photographer he took shots like it was world war, it was almost a disaster but God took over..Hallelujah

Jeez mine too. DJ was rubbish!

I did my traditional and church wedding same day but we had planned to use the trad as reception, so on the wedding day Methodist Rvrd said no they don't wed people that are not wedded traditionally. We got creative and decided to just let my wife give me wine, sanp pics and then proceed to the church, round of there and rush back.
Na there village people start, say e get one money dey we never clear for list. Hmmmn I thought it was a joke, they insisted as begged no way, na so I declare no more wedding, though I was in pains. I gathered my people and addressed them, I told my babe say we go see later. Omo see cry, she rush go meet her uncle jack am for cloth, say she go kill the old man if then no soft for me. Her mum started crying, two seconds everything burst, them de beg my bae, some de beg me Mel I no go. I form boss pose one corner de watch the Zeeworld lol inside. Thanks to my mother in-law she calm everything down, pacify all parties and Las Las she kneel down give me wine, I put some big cash in the cup. We took pictures together, so this whole drama delayed our going to church and they we're waiting for us there. Rvrd para, but DAT one no worry me

I drove to the venue wit my friends early to make sure everything was set and nothing takes us by surprise. All was in place and I was even welcoming guests. Meanwhile my bride was stuck in traffic for over an hour. Na so I begin sweat

Then we forgot our vows at the printer and a friend had to rush and pick them. Stuck in traffic again. More sweat

From then on, even when my friends tried to calm things down I was so nervous, I was sweating all through. Even pastor use am yab me.

But when reception start! Even Mrs confess say her husband de excited

To be honest I don't remember much from my wedding. Even people who attended. I only remember when I see them in pictures

We concluded the church things and had the remaining traditional reception. Everything was going well until some uncles who we're supposed to be at the wedding ( but decided to attend a burial first) came late an started shouting that they should be bring their own drinks, some young men with them wanted to do anyhow. Na there I show them the Aba boy wey dey my body. Nobody fit spoil my wedding.!
After all my investment? Men its been two years plus and everywhere good for me, she con give me one agile fine boy, I go soon give am another bele

You are too funny in your description....well at least the major purpose was achieved... Being joined together with your man...

Ginaz:
They didn’t let my cousin enter the wedding hall because they felt her wedding gown was too exposed at the top which was a lie cos it was not .

She started crying and ruined her makeup ... we went to look for a jacket for her to cover up so she could enter the hall. The sleeves of the wedding gown were long and jacket sleeves were short.

She looked like nepa people with their cloth about to cut light .

Her makeup stained the back of the jacket so badly we wanted to take it off but no choice .
I ate a cold rice with no meat after all my hard work, no soft drink to even cool down .

foleskay:


So nobody followed the bride to church??

Mrpsly247:

God knows that she would have left that place a handicap if she dared that with my FAM... Some people are just unfortunate.

chukzyfcbb:

omo this one mad o, if na my sister Dem do this one. I go first sand her one for face make she dey cordinated.

Of all days you decided to fuckup, it's the day the whole family and friends of the bride will be there, nah nah nah

Mrpsly247:

God knows that she would have left that place a handicap if she dared that with my FAM... Some people are just unfortunate.

So she left without no one, just her family who came to pick her to church,
We were all there looking at the tailor, once she finish your dress u go outside to look for bike or Keke to take you to church. The first person got there when they were almost done with joining and blessing.

Kaii I felt for he bride, imagine entering the church alone, not even one person behind you, wedding that you've been dreaming all your life

Anyways only few of us could make it to church, the rest of us they just texted to say church is over and we should just go to the reception venue. Our dress was ugly AF. I was just praying not to see anyone I know, it was that horrible.. u just have to wear it cos you want to support your friend.

When we were leaving hotel room, she brought out a new material and was sewing and then told us not to lock our room door that she will still be inside working so we left her inside without paying much attention .

Getting to the reception venue with other ladies, we met the bride outside already waiting, the hall packed full, live band playing and etc

Where is my dress? The bride asked
What dress
My reception dress? The woman didn't give u any dress to give me
Ohhhhh, that's the material she just remove and was about to start making when we left the hotel room

Omo this bride burst cry again, her family and husband were threatening fire
We will arrest this tailor
She must sleep in cell
How can she spoil someone's Happy day like dat

See so much anger in the air, we rushed to buy malt and milk and mix for the bride to drink, she was beginning to run temperature
Everyone was trying to persuade her to enter with her wedding gown. She refused, said she didn't plan her day like that.

Later Sha, she and her husband and some family members went back to the hotel to meet the tailor, we waited for hours, guests were beggining to come out to ask questions, they were sharing food already, bride and the groom no where to be found.

Las las, she came back wearing her reception dress, I think they waited till she finished it and I hear a big fight happened at the hotel with the tailor and the bride's family

Arrrrgghh, the gown was badly made, not ironed , or pressed, all the flair standing in am awkward way.
She almost couldn't dance , she was exhausted and just wanted to go and rest
I felt for her, can't imagine my happiest day like that.

You see tailors? Fear them. I think she didn't disturb d tailor enough. You give cloth to tailor and you're not calling her everyday, going to her place like everyday just to make sure your work is going on. But this tailor gave my friend so much assurance that she legit trusted her so much

I dunno if she was later arrested. I left even before they finish reception

mhizv:


Nah.

Personally m a shy person,and I'd rather have just family and few friends around,and be comfortable. Than seeing people I don't know at all.

+Its a one day event people would still forget about the wedding day. It's life after the wedding that matters.

Oh well last time I explained this to my mum she gave me a death glare

Lol, @death glare

ur mama b like, if dem born u well no print 5000 copies of IV


But wait, this is u and u have said about ursef, urs is due to shyness..

Dont tell me every lady here are shy to have it extravagant.

Anyway, na der life.

BarrElChapo:


Did actually end up with the lady or was he standing her up ?

He didn't attend at all. No wedding took place. The lady and her family just got stood up.

fatymore:




I dey look you one side with your posts. How is stay at home

yvesboss:

Hmmm, yes, i support u on this.
She should have apologised, but i see ur mama as one kind rigid woman and i like her laidat

Kingofpalmgroov:


I wasn't in town during those period, only arrived few days and other things overwhelmed me. Though it was based on referral and also saw few he displayed. 12years till date, the cloth still never size me and I didn't bother amending it.

Ordinary "Etibo" turned to Agbada

I guess perhaps there was a mix up in your measurements for him to sew a cloth of 12 years that won’t still size you

How are you doing....being ages... I hope you are safe and good.

ghettochild:
Things people shd do during wedding
1. Separate food for bride n grooms family and well wishers including mogbo Moya dem
2. Atleast 2 photographers... Dem two no fit mad at the same time ooo
3. Security incase u can't pay.. Hire agbero.. Just out their cooler of food n drink separate.. Dem go do the job right
4. If possible do take away, even after dem Don eat normal food.. For those who dey like over do wedding parry
5. Look for a reputable dj known to play at weddings n Pay better money.. Dem go do the job..
6.Get a standby generator... When I mean stand atleast one in which the Lights, sounds and speaker are connected.. Heat can kill invitees.. Ko Kan Aiye..
7. Follow step 1 to 6..and u will have a blissful wedding to remember

Yewandequeen:
aswear if na me, I would have gotten her arrested. That's just negligence of duty with I don't care attitude nor minding to ruin someone else wedding day. I doubt if the tailor did church wedding, that's if she did any at all self. Mtcheeeeeww

Aswear the thing dey vex me as if it happened to me.

I am angry here too... If na me, I will almost kill the tailor. The greediness kill am, no apprentice, she is a lazy tailor and she might have used the money for another thing.

Chamber2000:
I did bestman for a friend and I was in my hotel room relaxing and didn't know wedding was about to start. When I was called and started hurrying, my zipper got spoilt.

I manage that one then to wear shoe I now found out I didn't pack my shoes from Lagos

Pastor said the couples can't March into church without the whole bridal train and groom caterpillar abi wetin dem dey call am.

I started lookin for where to buy shoes same time and I saw one local one. Paid and ran to church. My guy no fit talk na d wife want to use swear finish boyo life.

We now marched into church by 11am. The pastor had already got wind of me being the cause of the delay asked me to stand up. He tongue lashed me like a school boy. I just stood there fuming inside but I bottled it up.

After church service I was to take pictures with couples and the rest, I disappear again to go work on my zipper. When I came back reception has already started and the bride told me if I come near them she will so fight me.

I jejely carried the babe that I got as one of my aso ebi to my hotel.
