An Owambe Wedding

Hey guys

I know it has been a while since I made a written post because I've been busy making video content and trying to live my best life. For a while, I've been preoccupied with my work as a hair stylist, video content creator, and most of all being a human trying to strive through with peace and happiness.

For the past few weeks, I've been working as a wedding planner with my mom for my big sister's wedding, or better still as we love to call it INTRODUCTION/ENGAGEMENT Party. This is just an event where my big sister comes to the family house to introduce us to her husband-to-be. And I must add the guy is quite hard-working and good-looking as well.

The event was scheduled to hold on the 12th of September 2022 and plans had been in motion for the past two months. As a family tradition in most African homes, we are obligated to contribute to the progress of the event. The bill and cost of the event were split among family members but unfortunately for me, I could not render any financial support because I'm still an unemployed undergraduate. So I had to show my support by helping out with the arrangement and ensuring all is in order. I even took up the task of taking pictures and I hope I did a good job.

MEET THE BRIDE

My elder sister has always played a major in my life as a woman. She's that person who has always been present when I needed her and even when I didn't. Knowing that she has someone she can always count on, means a lot. The idea of someone always having your back and wanting your prosperity above all things is something beautiful and I wish everybody gets to experience it. Her soul is truly meek and gentle, I even remember when I felt lost after high school, not knowing the next step to take, but she was there to guide me through and for that, I will love you always.
Words are not enough to describe how happy I am for you and knowing that you have someone who will love and support you all through the hurdles of life, even makes me happier. Above all things, I wish you happiness because you deserve it and more.


MEET THE NEWLY WEDS

The event went as planned even though there were little setbacks between family and friends. But not to worry about it, it's just one of those minor disputes between family members on how things should be done. I remember how they shared their different opinions on how things should be done but the moment the ceremony began, it was all bliss, harmony, love, and happiness that came into reality. Everyone had a smiley face on, filled with joy to see a family member find true love. Then I remember how my granny got emotional and released some tears of joy. Till tomorrow I will still be angry at myself for not capturing such a beautiful moment but I still got a picture of her looking hot as always.

Finally, I'm super glad I got to share an exciting moment with my sister and I'm sure we will share more to come.

Great shots, my friend! I don't just mean the models (all very beautiful indeed), but also your work as a photographer! What device did you shoot with? Did you do any post-processing?

Nah, I only used my aunty's iPhone, then did the editing on my phone.
Thanks a lot for the compliment.

But in the end God always come through for us... Congratulations once again to them and you too and thanks for sharing

Thanks for your kind words 💯🥰
And I'm happy for your siblings. What you said is true, their children must taste hive money.😁

Very nice pictures, the bride very beautiful and happy. Your work as an organizer paid off. I like to learn about the culture of other countries, that is a very nice celebration, and as for family quarrels, everyone has an opinion but love always prevails. Congratulations to you.

Yeah, you are so right, everyone has different opinions but in the end, love prevails and I got to experience it for the first time during the ceremony. 😁😁

Yeah! yeah! This is proudly the African way of uniting as man and wife. That point when the unmarried just feel like working harder to be like them.

Awwwwn. Congratulations to them, they look beautiful together. It’s really nice having someone to fall back to at d end of day, love is truly a beautiful thing and I pray everyone experiences it. Thanks for sharing this , it really put a smile on my face🥹❤️

I feel so pained not to be around for this event. I'm glad it was a success.

Your absence was felt, bro.

Congratulations to the newlyweds you sure had fun.
I like the bride's outfit and gele.

Thank you and I know how they had to force my sister to sit down before they could tie that gele for her.😛

Lol it's beautiful.
I can tire that too.

Thanks @goodysam 💯🥰

You sister is so beautiful! Congratulations for the beautiful event! May her live long and happy next to her chosen one 😌

Amen to that. Her happiness is all that matters and I know she deserves it.

Aww, congratulations to the newly weds and, I must say, your grandma is a typical example of "black don't crack" 🙃

I hope you make a post too, when you become an aunty 😁😉

Wow your sister is really beautiful in her dress and your photos are great. How nice you two have such a lovely relationship!
