📖 Cultural Guide
Our ceremony blends two rich Nigerian traditions. Here's what to expect:
Ìgbé Nkwu (Igbo Wine Carrying)
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)
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
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
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.
