    So a yoruba wedding is like a movie, so both family would have a representative to the other family. The wedding starts with the grooms family coming to ask for the brides family for her hand for their son. The bride family then welcome them in to the family. When the grooms dances in with his friends the first place he goes to is the the brides family and prostrate at their feet which was what he did in the video the brides representative then ask him if he is physically, financially, and spiritually fit to marry their daughter if he says yes then he is giving different exercises to prove that ( which are just fun things to make the ceremony lively). After that the brides family then pray over him and welcomes him into the family and he would sit at a corner and wait for his bride. When the brides dances in with her friends the first place she goes to is to her parents and family, the pray over her and prophesy into her life of a good marriage, children and good life then the brides representative then hand her over to the grooms representative and family and tell them to take care of her that as they are taking her from then whole( body spirit and soul) they should keep her that way the brides mother then hand her over to the grooms mother and father. The grooms parents and family then pray over her that as she is joining thier family she would be a blessing to then after which the grooms parent open her veil yo be sure the got the right bride( this is so that what happen jacob getting the wrong bride does not happen). After this she then goes to her husband. Its a long process i cant continue.

    1:54 it will get hot later after all the dancing and moving but it's not heavy (not as you would think)
    2:05 it's actually the same fabric as 1:54 that the bride and groom typically use and yes it's not cotton it's called 'ofi' and it has some structure to it so it holds it's shape.
    3:51 she's reading the engagement letter brought from the husband family to ask for their daughter hands in marriage
    6:47 (this hot me rolling in laughter) no they are not kissing anybody feet. In the Yoruba culture that is how male greets and but in this case he is greeting and begging them for their daughter hands in marriage
    8:45 the bride parents praying for her before sending her off to her new family

    Concerning the regal appearance, the groom will always want his friends and close relatives to be in his train. If anyone cannot afford the costly dress, those who have the means will make sure everyone on the train comes out looking rich. It's so much fun. I am igbo, but It's not totally out of place to say the yoruba tribe taught the rest of Nigeria some details of celebrations.

    In Yoruba traditional weddings it's normal for the groom and the groomsmen to prostrate to the bride's parents.
    The head tie the bride was wearing is called "gele".
    A female head of ceremony called "Alaga" is also a culture.
    The matching outfit worn by the bridesmaid and groomsmen is "Aso ebi" in the Yoruba culture.
    However, "Aso ebi" and "gele" have been adopted by other ethnic groups and tribes across Africa.

    In the Yoruba culture you some what “beg” for the bride so you show you are humble ,answer questions etc for her you have a member of the grooms family read a “love letter” then the brides family someone reads an “acceptance letter “ then the groom shows he can take care of her by dropping money several times nothing major Yoruba weddings are a lot but the best
