Nigerian Engagement Ceremony

Nigerian Engagement Ceremony: This is part 1 of Tope and Tunrayo’s wedding weekend. The day before their wedding they had a traditional Nigerian Engagement Ceremony. It was an absolute treat to be a part of a different cultural experience. The ceremony traditionally is a time for both families to meet and give their approval of the marriage as well as give gifts for the family. At the end of the event the families give their blessing to the couple. I thought one of the coolest things was how each side of the family wears similar dress with matching colors. The traditional clothing and Gele’s were just stunning to see. Enjoy and check back for the wedding images next!.
