All good? So we thought.īoth mothers wouldn’t exactly have it. We also made sure that we had a few traditional Yoruba dishes. Then there was the certain Igbo soups that Igbo people would typically request for. So there was the general rice and other foods both and/or neutral kind of guests could eat. But obviously knowing it was going to be such a mixed crowd we had to be careful of the selections. At our wedding, Tee and I decided to use one caterer/food vendor. No surprises then how much trouble Dunni’s favourite panla stew almost caused. They could both wear an agbada or a suit, and you wouldn’t be able to tell who was Igbo and who was Yoruba.įood they say is the life of a Nigerian party isn’t it? The party shakers kind of dancers at a Nigerian wedding party may say it’s the music, but still, food is super key! I’ve seen cases where the mums wear similar outfits, but in inter-ethnic weddings that’s pretty rare.

You’ll also notice how their friends had to wear similar outfits as them.

And such buba will often fall off their waist and need to be re-adjusted. Tee’s mum obviously would wear an Iro and Buba – like Dunni’s mum. Being Igbo my mum had to proudly wear an Igbo blouse and tie a double wrapper around her waist, similar to what Dozie’s mum wore in the movie. At the very least, they could colour co-ordinate.

I laughed in my head, knowing it to be near impossible. I remember someone asking me during our wedding planning if my mum and Tee’s mum would wear the same outfit for the white wedding. Nigerian mothers however are so particular about their outfits. And that works in many western countries. If you searched online stores for ‘mother of the bride/ groom’ outfits, you’d probably find the typical skirt/dress suit with a hat. It reminded me of some of the issues that are likely to come even when planning such wedding and how it could potentially cause conflict! So using my experience as well, let me share some of what I noticed. Of interest to me, was the fact that Dunni was Yoruba and Dozie was Igbo. So this movie, was about Dunni Coker and Dozie Onwuka’s wedding and all the intricacies surrounding the wedding. Not close, but at least I have a dedicated section for that – Inter-Ethnic Love Stories You probably can tell already that the subject is Inter-Ethnic marriages and initially when I started blogging, I thought that’s what my entire blog would be about. Not because I’m a movie critic, but because the subject was one quite close to my heart and I could relate with a few of the experiences. So I promised to write a post on the rather box office breaking Nigerian movie “The Wedding Party”.
