Back to Ph

Day 5 and yours faithfully nails the drive back to Ph thank you Lord.

Now it's back to the drawing board for the big day, taken reconnaissance of processes that went wrong on the trad and improve on them such that it doesn't reoccur on the white. 

Sis smiling through the stress, hang in there darl. 

Brother In law the groom handling expenses expressly.

It's all love from both families, again I say Thank you Lord.

Thanks for coming

Day 6 of the GC Weekend lines are falling in pleasant places. 

Preparing sovenoirs for guests, quite a large number of people are expected to be in attendance so planning is everything.

There is an event planner for the occasion but with all the stories of arrogant planners, I ain't leaving anything to chance.

A friend said experience gained as an Usher in church should come in handy now and I sincerely pray so. Tomorrow I get to meet her 

Married by Custom

For this post I have little or no pics too busy catering to our guests (our newest in-laws) to even carry a phone talk about take pics.

Fulfilling the traditional rites was a royal jumble of distributing palmwines kegs, kolanuts,  garden eggs, coolers of food (swallow and rice), hot drinks, soft drinks, wines and sovenoirs to all 7 canopies occupied by the different groups of the groom/bride family.

The two most significant part of the day for me was firstly the prayer by the bride and groom's father to bless the union and secondly the bride and groom mother had to assist the bride tie her second wrapper that represents her transition from singlehood to married, was awesome. Asides idolatry, I truly appreciate the depth of our culture.

Brideprice done by 10am, wine carrying done by 2pm, entertainment and dancing  followed till about 7pm. Thank you Lord for journey mercies for all guest and family members see you all again next Saturday.
