I think people mistake distinction for tribalism. Each different culture and its distinctions are what makes Nigeria the beautiful mosaic of a country that it is. For us, it’s important to understand the beautiful aspects of each culture and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. This is a Yoruba wedding, and if it was an Igbo wedding, that distinction should also be made to showcase the beauty of the tribe 💁🏾‍♀️

You can start from your lineage. The marriage rites is very simple. You can start from your family and elders coming together to instill this practice and dowry for your young women in your family. As for African clothes, thank God you can get that in your country too. I would do the same if I were you because I'm first African. Just look at some Nigerian and Ghanaian weddings to see how it's done and what part of the culture you want to infuse into yours. It will work. Shalom!

Let us know each other!

I love how the family’s have their own themed color, and it’s shown them dancing and having a good time together. It just executed perfectly the look of how two family’s unite/blend

Im haitian and I absolutely love yoruba traditionnal wedding ! 🇳🇬🇳🇬❤❤

I am filipino and seeing a blast of culture in this wedding makes me feel happy. Seeing difderent traditional practices in other parts of the world is just fantastic. It makes me wonder and realize how wonderful our world is. 😍

I love the outfits, especially the aspect of the bride wearing a veil though its a traditional wedding. And did you guys see how those gentlemen laid flat on their stomach infront of the bride's parents? Yuroba people are so respectful and i love that. Am a Cameroonian but i envy this culture 😍

That's our culture in Africa but especially in Nigeria lol. There's also a tradition where the husband hides and the bride is holding a marriage wine and she has to find him in the crowd. When she does, she kneels in front of him and serves him the cup. When he drinks it it kind of shows he accepts her.

The veil is traditionally part of the Yoruba Bride's costume for the traditional wedding.

Awww I'm Nigerian and I love our weddings but I'm not a big fan of big weddings lol. My wedding is probably going to be super super low-key, without all the fanfare. Plus, I don't wanna spend a lot of money on a big wedding 😂.

If you come from a rich family, you can't avoid a big 9ja wedding. If you come from a large family, you can't avoid a big 9ja wedding. In 9ja weddings are not for the couple, so you have no say in the matter. It's a union of two families (including but not limited to the families' friends, neighbors, coworkers etc, that's just how we roll in 9ja regardless if the ethnic group. We are rich in people, we never lack people.

@@limelyte5390 lmaooo too true! But my family is pretty low key for Nigerians lol. And I'm very stubborn when it comes to getting what I want. I can compromise but ultimately it's my wedding...I'd like to save money for better things. A long marriage is more important than a big wedding ( in my opinion) but to each their own.

The theatrical aspect is what just about every African traditional wedding I've seen has. I love it!

I like the Nigerian dancing. It's like when you see it, you really feel like dancing. It's unique, interesting, they have such a vibe with that dancing alone. The wedding was beautiful, I've never seen one like this before.

So telling that this rich African history is told with a British accent. History is complicated and messy, but strangely beautiful.

This really reminds me of our big fat Punjabi weddings... They are very similar in ideology to this but just different customs. I loved this and would definitely want to see one in person ❤️

Or try learning about west African countries, odds are you come from many of those places. You have your pick of the culture. It’s unfortunate that African Americans were stripped of their African heritage, but the culture that arose from it is truly something to be proud of. Everyone copied black culture, even in Africa, black culture is everywhere. Black Americans truly are a special group of people. I have never seen another culture have such a global impact the way black culture does.😊😊

Yess I am Nigerian our weddings are the best

OMG! This was so cool to watch and she looked gorgeous in her wedding outfit!
