Can We Just Ban Weddings?………Just Kidding
Mmm, let me see, onee … wait what 1?
Okay that was me trying to count the number of weddings I have attended between last year and this year and it’s just one. I like weddings but there’s just some kind of stress that comes with it. What dress to wear, what shoes to wear and it’s even worse when the invitation comes with color codes. That means they are expecting you to meet those color expectations. I learnt in Nigeria, they even show you which material to sew, interesting.
I’ve always said I never want to have a wedding, just the court signing and then off to honeymoon but from what I’ve been told recently, wedding is not even yours to decide. Where I come from, a wedding is to glorify your parents. It’s more like you can’t really pay back all that your parents have done for you so the best thing to do is to just at least make them happy with your wedding, something like that.
The reason for not wanting a wedding became solid after my cousin’s wedding. We planned a small wedding. In fact, it was strictly by invite. She wanted a really intimate wedding but tell me why all those that were invited for the wedding came with plus ones and twos and even threes. There were security personnel and all at the entrance but the thing is, it would not be nice to tell someone nicely dressed and all to go back home. Thankfully, they planned a little above the number to make up for any extra number of people that would be present(as if they knew).
Now, tell me why after all these people brought uninvited plus ones and twos, they requested for double food. Not even the invited persons themselves but their plus ones and twos. Already, I didn’t want to serve anymore because I had been on so many errands and then from nowhere, someone goes like “Oh I ate fufu first, can I get jollof now”. I look at the person for about 30 seconds as if I’m about to possess her. Oh yeah I wanted to look scary enough and then just walk away.
This is something that makes me not want to have a wedding. I don’t want to invite someone and then he or she will come with another person whether I know the person or not. I mean if I wanted the person there, don’t you think I would have invited the person myself?
And yeah the food part too. I remember telling my mom that if I “charge”, I’ll just share Lipton in calabash at my wedding not because I’ll be a broke person but just because I don’t want to see anyone fighting over food or taking double package.
These are some of the inconsiderate things people do at weddings that put me off. Maybe in the end, I’ll have to be a bouncer at my own wedding. When I see someone coming with someone that I don’t know and wasn’t invited, “my friend, go home go home”.

If I was president, I would have banned Weddings since
Lol
But why would you ban it?
Gate crashers are so annoying. I told my siblings during my wedding I will invite maybe 250 guest but the preparation would be for 400 guest because of uninvited guests.
Haha you know the vibe 😂
Yes oh am not the one that they will disgrace because of food. 🤣
Period sis🤣🤣🤣
This your title ehnnn. Before the kidding
The kind of emotions that ran through my brain in split seconds can’t be fathom
Ok.
Ok, just so you know. When you do when and I’m invited, I’ll like to taste all the dishes. Not at the wedding tho cause I can’t fight for food but keep mine specially. 🫣🫣
😅😅
You should have possess the person so they can know what you’re going through. I was the one in charge of logistic and food movement during my cousin wedding too and I can relate very well
You won’t even be invited o Baba 😂😂
Ahhhhh
😂😂😂
Don’t do this to me
Amongst wedding guest the one's uninvited are always more than the invited
For real
Some people will go to weddings and eat all their life food there... they will even tell you to pack for their dogs, aunty, uncle, stop cutting corners, we know you are the dog. Very annoying.
Relax🤣
It is that dog part that is vexing me because someone has actually used it to pick fights with me.
She had asked we pack the left over for her dogs and then I just instructed them to put everything both rice and soup plus the bones in one big bag.
The food was handed over to her and she was very angry that why didn't we separate it? her dog will not eat it like that.
I'm like does your dog have a choice? quarrel start.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣how will you know she’s the dog?🤣
😂🤣She was acting all suspicious. Making unnecessary demands and being too selective 😒
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Which one is "my friend go home, go home"😅😅 that would honestly be ridiculous🤣
I know right😭🤣🤣
I think about not having a wedding almost every day. I just don’t see the point of feeding all these people and wasting money. But like you said, it’s not even up to us to decide. My aunt thrive in big celebrations.
Feeding all these people 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re funny
Weddings in India can be pretty stressful too. Especially the hosting part. My wife feels like we should have the a registered one like you suggested. But i think it was important to have the normal wedding. Cause it is a way for the bride and groom to proclaim to their friends and family to be witness to their vows. And yes, it is a proud moment for both parents to show all the people invited how their children are happy, and how their families are getting united.
In our wedding even more than family it was the work friends of my father, father in law and mother in law who graced our occasion. It is a headache of a day, but if done right it kind of introduces the newly wed couple to the larger network of people. Also you get a decent set of gifts to start your new life :D
Cheers from a fellow #dreemerforlife
Oh alright but in Ghana, I’m not sure about the gifts😂
Thank you sweet dreemer
#dreemport brought me here again 😂. I really do not have power for weddings o. It is that registry gon gon that I will do and invite people. They better come with gifts or they will not be tasting anything 🌚
🤣🤣🤣
Nobody should stress my life please.
Your caption really got me 🥰🥰 but the thing is that people should always learn to do things with much considerations
#dreemerforlife#
Yeah I know right
Nice 👍👍
This is really funny.
You want to play the role of a bouncer?
Have you forgotten you are the bride?
How do you intend to manage these two roles together ?
Lol.
Don’t play with me😂😂
Lol.
You want to share Lipton in a Nigerian wedding? 😂😂😂😂
I understand you, jare. I believe wedding is a day for the couples and parents should honour their requests, not making it a must that it must be done in their own way.
#dreemerforlife.
Haha but I’m not a Nigerian though
Oh! I thought you were. 😅 In my place, we can't use Lipton in a wedding.
Good morning.
Oh okay
