Cultural Guide

Our ceremony blends two rich Nigerian traditions. Here's what to expect:

Ìgbé Nkwu (Igbo Wine Carrying)

ị ghọ nwaanyị di — "She becomes a wife"

The bride carries a cup of palm wine and searches among seated men for her groom. When she finds him, she kneels and offers the wine. His drinking signifies acceptance of the marriage.

Ìgbéyàwó (Yoruba Engagement)

Ẹ kú àjọdún — "Congratulations on the celebration"

The groom's family formally proposes, bringing gifts and the bride price. The Alaga (MC) guides the ceremony with humor and tradition. Prostration shows respect to elders.

Money Spraying

Na money dey move — "Money is moving"

Guests "spray" cash on the dancing couple as a blessing for prosperity. It's a joyful, celebratory act — don't be shy to join in! All denominations welcome.

Kola Nut Ceremony

Ọja anụ adịghị enwe isi — "He who brings kola brings life"

Breaking kola nut is a sacred Igbo tradition of hospitality and blessing. The eldest man present offers prayers before the nut is shared among guests.
