RE: Ladies of Hive Community Contest #219 || The most significant traditions, customs, and practices that define wedding ceremonies in Esan Culture?

in Ladies of Hive21 days ago

Esan culture seems pretty interesting with regards to marital traditions. The attire of both the groom and the bride seem unique.

You mentioned about introduction event. Does extended family include in it or merely the basic family is introduced?

What if the girl refuses to marry after that intro? I mean, does the consent of bride is take beforehand or is it done in the same wvent?

Sort:  

At the introduction ceremony, everyone present will stand up to briefly introduce themselves. Except for people who are not too close to the family.It's an event of about 10-15 people and most times takes place in the living room.

What if the girl refuses to marry after that intro? The man would have proposed to the lady before they even go to their families to talk about Introduction ceremony and wedding. In a case where the lady rejected the proposal it won't even get to the stage of informing family members.

I understand now. Thanks for explaining
