I want to clear the air,for those of you who may think that marital rites in Igboland are generally the same or expensive, this is my own list,given to Hubby's family. I'm from Enugu state,Nkanu West precisely. Mind you,I'm doing traditional/wedding same day,only the things in this list, will go no where in entertaining people but we needed not kill the young man with long list because he's getting married, so my family will provide the rest of the food like anything that has to do with swallow and more drinks.
The 1st item on the list,"4 tudun of palm wine",I will post a picture of what we call "tudun" for clarification,(I dont know the English name of that long gallon).
Again, as few as the drinks on the list are, on that day,we will not serve Hubby's family any drink,we will only give them food,they said we shouldn't, that they will come with their own drinks,had it been that their drinks were among,extra 5 or 6 crates of beer and 2 or 3crates of malt would have been added.
Introduction and bride price have been done before now.

That beer too small na....where that damn nigga? Make him prescribe the right amount

Only these

U never talk true, no be only u from Enugu here okay?

Cant find shop or kiosk on the list.

This is good. At least, nobody will claim the head of the family.

You two are co-heads of the family.

If the girls families start bringing some thing like This, we will stop hearing the rants of street urchins on how they fully paid and sponsored the wedding and thereby, have right to do as they wish.

And what will I gain from lying ,the post isn't for you

To make it easier for him.

Why not fill 4 gallons with water and call on the name of Jesus, it will just turn to palm wine

What is this madam saying?

Looking for a Canadian girlfriend that could lead to marriage

Loud it sister!
My pammy was even smaller.
2 cabin biscuits, chewing gum and 2 crates of soft drink for the maidens.

The boys( comprises of local boys) are given one cockerel and one yam to cook it with plus a carton of beer. The family usually supply this. This is for the boys that helped in canopy mounting and some stuffs.

No condition, carry your wife and go home.

The way they paint igbo marriage makes me wonder it's another igboland.
I have been to marriage in rivers and ògwashìukwu,I no fit talk.

Or is it some parts of the north?
So very expensive!

Here to read comments

When the bridal list was sent to my in laws my mother in-law called me to confirm if it's really the marriage list or just for introduction.

My brother married a Rivers State lady, at some point my family wanted to leave.

They brought a totally different list from the initial list they gave.if you see list!!!!

Before the dowry payment day we had to give 30 bags of pepper and 30 bags of salt so they can share in their community which is strange.

When the lady heard what her family members were up to she started crying.

Wow.. It's similar to ours. Only a slight difference.
I'm from Abia. In addition to what you have here, ours contains,
snuff,
1 massive male goat,
Salt ( for Umu Ada)
Then 8k as bride price. Father takes 4k while mother takes 4k. That's all.

Everything on the list is what is used in preparing the food that will be used for the occasion. No extras, except your guy wants to show off by buying extra drinks and stuffs but no body will task him again.

This calms the heart of we the intending igbo in- laws. I don't mind spending my last dime if the lady is worth it. Igbo amaka

Abi,we will even pay groom price self

He's actually planning to bring more than he was asked to,he's planning to bring a cow instead of goat and more drinks,purely his will

Please show them, always dragging Igbo girls for nothing. Although some kinsmen can be really wicked especially when the father of the bride isn't alive, the best thing is to negotiate.

I'm not laughing

What about kegs of kaìkaì?
That alone can buy one cow.

Most of them go to court and church and do their thing

Wow... That's cool yuh. But advise him to watch his spending o. Life after marriage is a whole lot of spending, both planned and unplanned.

Congrats, dear.
