Wednesday is considered to be the luckiest day to get married, Monday is for wealth and Tuesday is for health. We wonder, what about our Saturday Nigerian weddings?

On history

Brides originally stood to the left of the groom during the ceremony as he needed his right hand to fight off other suitors and the groom originally carried the bride across a threshold to protect her from evil spirits! Isn’t that…eh…romantic?

If the younger of two sisters get married first, the older sibling must dance barefoot at the wedding or risk never getting married! In Nigeria, some places actually have the younger sister wait until the older one finds a suitor.
