Just because Nigerian traditional weddings are every shade of beauty and culture. Newlywed Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman took to her Twitter to share with her followers what she loves about Nigerian traditional weddings. We thought we should share with you what gets her about traditional weddings. It shows how much we all enjoy all that our different cultures bring to the wedding. Even though she shares mainly about two cultures, we know that each tribe has a unique way of celebrating.
Please do share why you love weddings from your culture in the comments.
I love Nigerian weddings. So much happens, so many colors, plenty food. Rich culture. I’m yet to experience a northern wedding, hopefully this man will agree to travel for one and take me along soon. ?

Even though she is yet to experience a northern wedding (click to see weddings from the North), we can tell that northern weddings are pretty memorable. From the number of days for the ceremonies to the different events that take place, the henna to the beautiful food and distinct events. If you do experience a Northern Wedding, it will stick to you for a long time.
First off, Linda shares why she loves Yoruba traditional engagement ceremonies:
I actually love Yoruba traditional weddings. Especially when the guy and his friends have to do all what the Alaga request.

Now she explains why she loves Igbo Weddings:
For Igbo weddings, the bride has to go look for her husband with a glass of either palm wine, juice or malt. Then his friends try to convince her to give them the drink. And if she does, she’s going home with that guy, (not her supposed husband) if he drinks from the cup. ??? pic.twitter.com/SoVebkKICh

Guys, what intrigues you about Igbo weddings, we want to know?
All in all Nigerian traditional marriages are distinct in their own way according to each tribe but one thing that is common is that it displays a high level of culture, beauty, heritage, and individuality. So tell us in the comments, why you love the traditional wedding?
