Irrespective of cultural and/or religious background, wedding receptions are truly happy occasions.
These supplied items from the list usually given to the suitor being displayed here is a clear indication that the marriage has the blessings of the bride’s parents.
The food stand displayed an array of appetizing dishes with professional food handlers and other service personnel all geared up to do justice to the occasion.
Finally, the stars of the occasion arrived. And then the bridal train ushered in the new couple with a modest dance.
And their modest, yet very desirable, well-groomed mode of dressing quickly gives away the religious leanings of the new couple as Islam.
The bride and the groom finally walked in. If the dressing of the bridal train left any doubts as to the religious leanings of the new couple, the nice wedding dress of the bride removed all such doubts.
Friends of the new couple showed their love with a rich shower of “spraying” as the new couple walked in, smiling broadly.
The attendance was anything but moderate, nearly filling up the large hall to the brim.
The occasion finally kicked off formally with a brief recitation on the groom by a close friend. After the brief recitation, the new couple cut their cake.
And then the new bride took to the dance floor alone, happily surrounded by close family and friends who showered her some more with “spraying.”
Jimoh Abdulazeez, father of the bride was the first to speak to us.
“May God not allow Satan to disturb them. May thy have kids who be Muslims like them so they would not have a religiously divided home. May God grant them kids of both sexes and everything else they wish for. May God bless us their parents. And all those who came, may they get back home in safety.”
And then the ceremonial feeding took place.
Dami, a friend of the bride then spoke to us, interluded by an exuberant friend of the new couple.
And then Sodiq, friend of the groom spoke to us, eulogising his friend so nicely.
Then came another short recitation on the groom by another friend.
Finally, the bride, Uswat, spoke to us; and the joy in her voice was unmistakable.
Disun and Uswat…Citymoods wishes you a happy married life.
