This was so nice of you, traditional marriage seems to be a doctrine in Our Africa setting,but things have changed now that most cultures have changed their patterns, during their own way.
As I see you fully prepared with your native attire, looking fully an African Woman, beautiful and attractive,even more looking like the bride of the day.

You have a good time going to the marriage and in our African culture delays has been an issue in every thing, they will say African Time. As a mother, you really try to stay till that period of time, only to be seen that all righteousness is fulfilled and allso to make your niece feel excited seeing you as a guest in her school maybe marriage. Every Saturday normally,is a jolly day for occasion like this, and marriage is a nice thing, just like the one i attended over here that a Ghananian Man came an have the head of a Nigerian girl in marriage, that's was a good inter marriage activities, but there was good time management. I think in that of own marriage the both families were the cause of the delay martial rides most be looked into before the Main day. But different cultures can be the cause,may be that is the way they used to do it. I really enjoyed your marriage experience. Thank you madam @chant

Your dressing is so fantastic, what a wonderful day for you, going out in a grand style, but if it was full house guests it will have been more fun, because I no very well baby would have dressed little a little groom.
