Litigant: October wedding, the bride created bridesmaid WhatsApp group since early August o, for us to choose style and all. She added the tailor too. The tailor was sending some complicated Beyonce styles , we all said noooo, please make a simple style, we sent simple and finer styles, this tailor refused, said the one she chose is what she will make . We should not worry, it will be fine... Sent tons and tons of measurements for us to do and send to her.
A day before wedding, we all went there early on friday, so that we can check out the dress and incase if there is any adjustments to do. We call tailor Taya, she didn't pick, waited for the tailor o in our hotel room, the bride called and called...for where She didn't pick, since morning
She came around 10pm. Rushed it with 2hefty bags...
So sorry I've been busy but the dresses are ready now, please if I call your name come for your dress. Omo this woman remove dress and it was nothing close to the picture she sent, oversize, ugly, she hasn't even fixed the hands, just the body.

It's just to adjust and put the hand, it won't take long. She came alone o, no apprentice or someone to help her.
We all know say we don enter one chance, for God's sake the wedding is in few hours, and our dresses isn't ready yet? Since August?

The bride was ready, dressed and all, nobody to follow her, not one single soul, we were all tying wrapper, she started crying, deep tears, cursing the woman, she was hoping that atleast one person gown among us will be ready, so the person can follow her to church to help adjust her gown, veil and help with all the general help bestlady do give... no one was ready o.. makeup ready but nothing to wear. Omo this bride was saaaaaaadddd, we had to drag her out of the room before pesin go faint. the bride's people were downstairs, waiting for her to come down because service go soon start.... iyawo where are you, we are late ooo come ooo

A friend's wedding, she hired police band to play live music. Police band came with a generator that was used by Lord Lugard. Gen no fit start. That is how all of us turned to musicians. We were clapping, singing on top of our voices for the couple to dance in. Worst part is that we couldn't beat the Police band. In fact, they insisted on full payment before wedding.� 8 Likes |

Litigant:
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![](/faces/huh.png) 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 All the blame should go to the seamstress. She won a contract that was paid. She is mad not to deliver within the agreed time. 1 Like |

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.

I attended a trad wedding last year December; it was a crazy one I tell you. I was jejelly seated in the living room when I heard the clattering of irons and utensils, only for me to stand up to take a look and discovered a fight broke out between the bride's male cousin and the groom's father. OK, this was what happened:
The bride's cousin was picking the money being sprayed on the dancing couple, the silly father of the groom who was seated on the high table or what it is called, left his seat and went to confront the young boy. I said boy because the dude isn't up to 22 years. The silly father was angry because the boy was picking the money and nobody from the groom's side was picking (obviously worried he may not see his own share).
He started raising his voice at the young boy and as the lad didn't want to fall to his intimidation, he raised his voiced back at the old man and the brother to the groom stepped in and slapped the dude for 'insulting' his father, na so dude vex, carry tray hit the dude (groom's brother) back, then the real fight broke out. It wasn't funny that day but it was the first time I was watching a live entertainment because it felt like a free-for-all fight.
The groom's sister who was in charge of cake, refused to bring out the cake after the fight was settled, telling people that the wedding is over. Na so a friend to the bride vex ask am, "Are you the one getting married? Don't you dare say such. Just bring the cake out and if you want to leave, then by all means do". Another round of quarrel started that day. The groom stepped in warned his sister to behave else she won't like what is going to happen next.
I just felt bad for the bride though; her childish in-laws almost ruined her big day. She's married into a family of troublesome and childish in-laws. I just hope she can cope 4 Likes 1 Share |

I did my trad and white one week apart cos of distance, Enugu and Delta. The trad went successful everyone was happy. Then the white wedding... By 7am makeup artist have not arrive at the hotel, her number was not reachable. She later came around 7:30. Finally we were done with my makeup, time to go to church maid of honor and 2 of the bridesmaid said they are not done with their makeup even though I woke everybody up by 5am. I left them to church my younger sis now act as the maid of honor. Church went well and fast, we got to reception DJ keep mixing music, the music we gave him to play during couple dance he played it at couple entrance the one he was supposed to play at entrance he played it during couple dance. We still ignored. Every other thing went well. Now to the photographer, after snapping so many pix on the wedding day he couldn't send most of them to us. For him to send the enlargement, photo book and video was now difficult for him claiming he used the money we paid him to do his project. After so many wahala and threatened arrest he waybill the enlargement early march and promised to send the video and photo book march ending. I believe March ended yesterday still nothing till now.
