Last week, on Thursday, I travelled home for a wedding of one of our relatives. The groom is on our side, but I don’t know him except for his younger siblings and his parents. The groom’s mother was taken care of by my late grandmother when she was young. She went to school, graduated and married under her roof. So, we became family.
When I was told about the wedding, I felt excited and decided to attend, particularly to represent my siblings who weren’t available. It was a sweet wedding ceremony, and everyone who came had enough to eat.
The engagement was on Friday, and above is a snippet of the event centre that was used. Food wasn’t served on time, and so I was hungry. I decided to step outside; maybe I could get something to snack on before the arrival of the meal. I found roasted corn and bought some for my cousin and me.
Thirty minutes later, the food was served. We ate pounded yam and egusi (melon) soup. After some minutes, I left the hall to rest at the hotel we were lodged in. The next day was the wedding. The church wedding happened at 10 am, and before then, everyone assembled at the event centre to eat breakfast before leaving.

The church wedding went amazingly, and then after two hours, we moved to the reception to eat and watch the rest of the event. The video is a recording of the dance by the asoebi ladies (bridesmaids) and groom's men, followed by the latest couple, Timileyin and Oluwaseyi. It was fun to watch and I enjoyed the programme.
