I hadn't eaten with my hands in a while so this was fun lol The only thing I didn't like about it was the whole swallowing thing. I couldn't do it. So I chewed it. Which was hilarious to them. Well I am American, I wouldn't know any better. They are Igbo (tribe name), so they swallow. I think they said that Yoruba's chew. So I guess I'm a Yoruba (tribe name)!!
That evening we had to attend a wedding rehearsal, because one of her cousins were getting married. At the rehearsal I saw a lady fixing an head wrap on my friends sister head. Which was very interesting, because I thought they bought it that way, and to see it being mad was an eye opener.
This is my friends sister Joy!!
This girl thinks she's a model!! She looks fabulous!
My best friend Chioma!
~The Outfits~
Dress: H&M $5.00
Shoes: Ross $16.99
~At the wedding!~
The wedding was super long. There was singing, praying and a sermon. It was a beautiful wedding but I was getting hungry. It was suppose to start at 10:00 but it started at 12:00 and ended around 3:00 or 4:00.
The wedding and the people were amazing. Their outfits were on point! I have to go to the next engagement they have.
Because the day was super long, I had to make a part 1 and 2!
I will do part 2 real soon.
Stay Fabulous and embrace your culture!
xoxo
I love that you're interested in the Nigerian culture. I'm an Igbo Nigerian too!

I went to my first proper traditional Nigerian wedding a couple of weeks ago and it was lovely. The bride was beautiful and her groom very handsome ;)
