I got married in 2023. It was a beautiful wedding because it was just after lockdown and things were slowly getting into normal. We had not had a celebration for several years and therefore the invitation to attend a wedding was not in short of a breath technique experience because everyone would have wanted to attend the wedding. Once they were wearing traditional culture, maybe traditional wedding, people would wear traditional arts here, but they decided to choose the Nigerian custom-made kind of dresses. The traditional Nigerian were easy to buy with. It was quite unique and different because the dresses had so many beads and the head gear was more like the Zulu quinn hat, which is obviously accessorized by a lot of exceptional beads with different color combinations there. I think the good part about traditional, our traditional wear is that as a bride you don’t have to wear heels. You can wear flat and tennis shoes that make you very comfortable. That enables you to dance any kind of dance without getting tired or without getting exhausted. So, for each one of us that they eat, the bride dances her hot arts because she has been trying to get married for a long time. And the last time people got it for the marriage ceremony and the groom didn’t show up. So now that she got married, the special thing had happened for her and she wanted to celebrate that through a beautiful kind of dancing. I was very excited for her because she shot her own way of celebrating and I think one of the beautiful things about that wedding is that she enjoyed the most as a bride. Alright, good morning. How are you today? I’m good.
