For every family in Nigeria, we always have to undergo three marriage rights before you can be called a married person, The first is the Introduction, the second is the traditional marriage, and then the white wedding.
THE INTRODUCTION
This is the first rite of marriage, here the main occasion is to introduce the two families, and this introduction doesn't determine if the marriage will really work out.
I had mine in 2017, this was the time I found out I was pregnant though we had planned on having the introduction that year after I found out I was pregnant I had to quickly rush the ceremony, we invited our families over, but before this, i and my hubby had gone to my parents to put us through on how it was done, my dad was at first against it because hubby wasn’t from our tribe, but my mum later talked to him, I can't remember what she had said to him then, but we were given some list of things to buy for the ceremony, and then the D-day came, every member of our families were invited, there was enough refreshment for everyone, there was also some formalities that were done and then that day ended with hubby people getting list of thing they were to bring for the traditional marriage that we had planned was going to be the next year.
But that didn't happen as we weren't financially buoyant, the baby came we had a lot of expenses to cover, hubby’s job wasn’t paying so well, we had forfeited ever having the traditional marriage and this was like a burden to me, it was as if I was indebted to someone in my mind, and then the year 2020 came, i and hubby sat and talked about trying again to have the marriage done, and it was successful.
”Babe let's have the marriage done so it wouldn't be as if we are just living together without any commitment, said hubby.
I replied, “Yes that's true we should do just that so that we can really become a family, and I will be proud to have your name in my name.”
“ oh yes my dear, I also would like that I would like you to have my name too” he replied smiling.
THE MARRIAGE

We told our parents our plans and started planning on it, it was like a dream come true for me because it is a celebration people always look forward to, we had lots of support in making that celebration become a reality for us, it was the best day of my life that I always wish to happen every time.
It was a celebration that gave me a lot of respect from everyone, I was so happy, we also had our registry too, though we didn't invite a lot of people for that one, because we wanted to keep it simple and less crowded.
This is one celebration that made my family happy because it was long overdue, even though circumstances almost made us lose hope but at the end of the day we had our marriage celebrated by almost everyone in the neighborhood.

I think it was a burden on you because you knew and believed it had to be done, and because you wanted to do it. Thank God it went well. Congratulations.
Yeah I am grateful it did.🙏
Marriage is definitely one occasion worth celebrating. Glad to know that you and your husband got married. Belated congratulation!
yea it is. Thank you
Congratulations to you.
Glad you found fulfilment in your celebration
Yeah, thank you
I like the color of your traditional wear. It's so lovely. Which tribe is your hubby from?. I bet it must have been really tough before your dad gave in. My dad will first ask of the man's denomination. If he is not attending catholic church then it would definitely be a hard nut to crack.
Thank you. Hubby is from oyo state, so it was kinda hard at first but mum win him over. So it make everything smooth
I just imagine how you might have felt when your bundle of joy arrive but your marriage hasn't taken place.
I am glad it finally happens and it was a success. Congratulations 🎉 may your home be blessed always.
Yeah, it was kinda a barrier to me at a point. But we finally had the marriage everything was right to me .

Dreams do come true afterall ☺️. I'm glad to see how astounding you looked on your wedding day. Wedding ceremonies are one event which couples can forget in a hurry.✨
Thank you. I appreciate your comment
You're very much welcome ✨
I can relate very well with the enthusiasm you had when this dream of yours came true. One such time or memory a woman will not forget is when she tied the knot.
I can imagine the celebration mood you turned on that day.
I was really excited for that day, and when it was dine I felt more relieved and happy
It was sweet to read about the timeline surrounding your wedding, and how the two of you overcame your challenges. However, this story reads as pure non-fiction. We recommend reading our article on creative non-fiction, which is full of tips on how to include the creative elements of fiction in your real-life stories. For example, describing the sounds, smells, and feelings of your wedding would make this into a lovely creative non-fiction story!
