Nigerian wedding in a village in Nigeria
9th June 2012 Reel Life Photos
Laura and Martin both live in the UK, but since their respective families are from Nigeria, they decided to have both a cultural wedding in Nigeria and a church wedding in the UK. The village elders all meet together to agree the match and the initial ceremony starts with the key figures in a room discussing the deal, sealing it with gift of beer and biscuits. Then the wedding party sits in an open-sided marquee outside and this information is given to them by the village elders and they conduct a wedding ceremony, which culminates with a gift of a goat from the groom's family, which is then slaughtered and shared between all the families in that village.
