Weddings: Things that happen at a wedding that I don't support.

Hello, everyone.

I welcome you to my blog. We have, at some point in our lives, been guests at a wedding party. At some of these parties, we made memories we keep running back to whenever we are sad, and at others, we wish the memory could be erased. I have seen people leave a wedding party angry and regret ever leaving their business to grace the occasion with their presence. Sometimes these guests leave as a result of embarrassment from the ushers, family members of the couple, or even the couple. There are many things that could happen in a wedding that are I detest and can't really wrap my head around it, in subsequent paragraphs we will discuss a few.

Lately, attending weddings is really not something for the weak only the strong hearted overlook certain things; you must be mentally prepared for whatever it throws at you. A lot of things go wrong at weddings these days, and indecency turns out to be topping the charts for one of the things that can go wrong at a wedding. Gone are the days where weddings represented and stood for decency. These days, ranging from the bride to the bridesmaids, dress in a way that sensitive parts of their body are exposed. Your big day does not stop you from dressing decently, and dressing decently without exposing sensitive parts of your body does not stop it from being your big day.

Sometime back, a reverend refused to proceed with a wedding rite, requesting that a way be found to cover the bride's exposed cleavages, and when they managed to use a handkerchief to cover them a little, he proceeded. Dressing indecently by the bride, bridesmaids, and even guests is one of the few things that happens at a wedding that I detest, and lately it is becoming normal and is slowly being accepted by the society.

Another thing is people behaving and acting like the weeding rice is their one and only source of food for the day and maybe for the week. It is definitely painful if you attend a wedding and are not given any refreshments for the time spent there, but that does not warrant you wanting to fight an usher or the chef because you were not given food. I was at a wedding reception once, and a woman was struggling for food for all her kids, about four of them, like they actually depended on the wedding refreshments for dinner and breakfast, she made sure she took for all her kids and herself included and even wanted to take more if not that the usher ran out of food she wasn't going to stop.

It is shameful for me to see people struggle or fight over food. It is more common amongst women when you attend a wedding reception and you see two mothers quarreling, and you might think it is a serious matter only to find out because one did not give the other person's child food and they shared food and drinks pass where the child was sitting, so they end up quarreling and calling attention to themselves.

Why are you trying to have a grand wedding that is beyond your budget or purse in other to Impress the crowd or guest? Seen a lot of couples that went really broke after their wedding because they broke the bank to get the wedding done, so their wedding will be the talk of the town. Wedding is just a day's celebration and breaking the bank just to impress the guest is a very wrong thing to do, after that day it is left for you and your new partner to put your finances together.

If you broke the bank in order to impress guests, then be prepared to pay the price for such a horrible mistake. Going for grand weddings that are beyond one's purse is one way a couple will suffer a financial crisis at an early stage, many couples try to impress the guest and I really don't support such.

Thanks for reading my post.

That's an unwise thing to do, to go bankrupt for that day it's crazy then after the wedding they'll start calling family members, that's why I don't fancy big weddings, I love simple and small wedding gatherings just the most important persons in our lives. Who them wan impress.

Simple classic wedding or nothing, killing oneself just to make your wedding the talk of the town is always disastrous in the end.

This writing really brings up valid concerns about this huge wedding culture. Do you think there's really any way that would balance tradition with modern expectations that too without overspending? How the couples will be able to ensure their wedding reflects their values and culture without succumbing to societal pressures?

I doubt if there is really a way to balance tradition with modern expectations without breaking the bank, modern expectations are high and to meet up one must go beyond their regular limits.

Indecency has been a lifestyle so rampart in most of Nigerian weddings. Some people feel that revealing their cleavages will get them a man to marry. I hope this issue will be handled one day.

The issue of quarrelling for food is becoming a norm...mother's usually showcase themselves on this, trying to secure food for their family regardless of whether those that graced the occasion has eaten or not

It's really disheartening to see things that shouldn't be allowed become a norm, no one tries to stop instead we all seat back and accept it.

Thanks for stopping by ma'am.
