I doubt if there is anyone who so not like attending weddings. Weddings are one of the events I love attending, and whichever wedding I am to attend, I always ensure to be at the church service to witness the exchange of marital vows and other things. The reason behind this is that wedding church service is the bedrock or highlight of the wedding, reception is just like the icing on the cake. I know some people prefer attending the reception due to several reasons, well it's different strokes for different folks.
Inasmuch as I like attending wedding events, there are some happenings that do not align with me, infact saying that they piss me off is a better language for it.
One is the way some of the master of ceremonies, MC's, coordinate the event. Why in holy Molly's name would an MC keep the couple standing after the heat warming entrance for close to thirty minutes, asking people to come and wash abi clean their seats before they could sit down. Who does that?, it's so absurd. Granted that's one of the ways to raise money for the couples but that's not enough reason to stress them to that extent, it's supposed to be a day they're treated as queen and kings and not some slaves waiting on their master to give the command.
Some of these MC's usually overstep their boundaries like how can you throw insulting words at people in a wedding event under the guise of cracking jokes. Some crack the most irrelevant jokes that I've heard of that you'll begin to wonder if there sane. And most of them are just copy cats with no originality on them. You'll see two or three MC's doing almost the same thing.
I cannot really say how this idea of telling the Asoebi's and even the bride's maids to go and get men that will spray money on them while they dance before they can be allowed to go in came to be, that's so embarrassing and should be stopped forth with. I understand that some people like it but I don't. Imagine a scenario where one of the asoebis couldn't get any man to bail her, she'll feel so helpless and almost like a failure and on top of that, the MC will be making funny embarrassing statements about it without a care of the girl's feelings.
I remember on one occasion that I did asoebi for a friend, the Mc asked us to go bring men, I just went directly to him and held his hands. He was like, "I'm the MC so I'm out of the game". But I replied "you said bring men to spray me money and I have selected you or are you not a man?". The guests were just looking at us and I insisted on him spraying me money. He wasn't prepared for the vawulence that I brought, I'm sure he will thread with caution next time, 🤣.
Brother groom and sister bride, does it mean that while planning and discussing how you want your wedding day to be like, you didn't decide how to carry out your first marital assignment - feeding each other? Why in the world will you allow the MC dictate how you are going to do it? It is entirely your decision, not the MC's and if he attempts to thwart it, call him to order.
Some MC's will even make some couples go so erotic forgetting that children are there too, that's so disheartening.
Guests should learn to behave maturely and respect the couple's space during sharing of souvenirs. Some will refuse to queue up, while others will be dragging which to collect thereby crowding the couple, that's not really cool.
Attending a wedding without eating the party jellof rice is totally unacceptable by me, lol. So you want me to be swallowing my saliva while the food will be passing me right left and center. Others will be eating and I'll just be looking like Lookman, ko le work nau. 😂
.
Madam caterer, if it was half bag of rice that the couple provided, let it go round even if it's in small portions, don't tell me rice has finished o because I don't use to like it, hehehe.
Seems I'm targeting the MC's but of a truth some of them make the reception so boring with their outdated formats, doing same thing in every event forgetting that weddings have different guests and class, whether secondary or primary class, lol. Abeg you people should improve.
I don't want to talk about the indecent dressing of some asoebi ladies and female guests. Some just bare their bodies for public view, throwing decency to the wind. Well I'm just here minding my business before someone will poke nosing into other's affairs. Meanwhile it's their lives to live however they want.
I'll stop here before I will break the remaining one leg of the table 🤣🤣.
Many thanks for reading, looking forward to your visit again.
Still the #threadsaddict 😂
