I experienced this similar thing during my wedding 2009. I didn’t have a wedding planner because I was relatively new in Lagos. I couldn’t trust anyone with the plans. Marriage is the ultimate goal. You can still do 10years of recreation of your wedding. Ndoo
Despite the mistakes........ Have complete joy in your marriage. Too much about what marriage should be or was only about the date. What ever happens has already
Nigerians and lack of professionalism are like 5 &6. I have never planned a wedding, but I connected with your story as a maid of honor to my best friend. I'm glad everything turned out well 🤗
I must say 👏👏👏👏👏 on the consideration of buying your people aseobi. That was super thoughtful of you. I wish more people considered that or at least had an open conversation with their line up about if they can afford it. Life is still happening for / to people even when we're getting married. Giiiirrrrllll, the ladies you had really brought the energy. Those who were meant to be there were there. Sometimes God rearranges things without us realizing. Chidera, you are better than me agreeing to a refund with the cake guy 😳 Thank you so much for this video 😳. Especially the note on a wedding planner / coordinator. This is the wake-up call I needed. About wedding pictures, maybe you could organize a post wedding photoshoot just you and Jason. I've seen a couple of people do this online and I think it's such a great idea if you can afford it.
It's interesting how everyone have one or two experiences to share about wedding...😅 You are right, Chidera. If you can afford a good event planner, please do.
Thanks for the app advert Chidera, it works so fast. And the exchange rate is not bad at all. So sorry you went through all that at your wedding. But truth be told, I enjoyed watching your videos. I couldn’t have known that you had some bad moments.
Thank you for sharing! These are great tips! I’m glad that despite all of the issues, you were still able to put it together! I loved your advice to close your eyes, don’t get angry, and move on!
I’m glad I ruled out asoebi from my wedding. It made me a better & happier bride. I personally don’t buy asoebi & I didn’t expect anything from anyone.
Hahahahahaha. My wedding in someone else's mouth.😂😂😂 Everything went wrong. Grandmother in law fell sick on the morning of my wedding and they had to rush her for medical treatment. Making my parent in law arrive about 3 hours late for the wedding. Make up artist started my make up late(It was a double wedding) so she spent the morning at my sister's place( her words). By the time my make up was done, I was about 2 hours late for my own wedding with my dad threatening to start the wedding without me. I lost my cool and wrote a whole epistle to my best friends on my wedding morning on things I wished they did better and they chose that day to give me full time attitude hence, having most part of my wedding without them until some minutes to 4pm when they suddenly showed up again. After so much drama surrounding getting a hall with my dad not agreeing and our guest having to travel down on a bad road only for the rain to start (Thank God it stopped in good time). Or the Clerics (because we started late) decided to take the whole day to themselves thereby making a reception party impossible and the MC having to leave before we could start😂😂. You should see them struggling to share food during the sermon. Oh, did I forget to add the part where the driver that was supposed to convey my husband's family to the venue chose that day to have his phone switched off despite calling around 5am saying he is on his way to pick them up. ( Dude later called around past 4pm saying can he still come😂). I could go on and on about the things that went wrong but I thank God that despite all that went wrong at the wedding, my marriage had been the best gift of God to me so it was all worth it.
@@ChideraPeters I still do not understand how I managed to stay on top of it all. I had to leave the party before some of the guest because I was already feeling faint. I couldn't wait to get out of the place😂
Hiii...so I just started watching your videos like 2 days ago and it has been very nice. You're so relatable, blunt and fun to watch. I know most of your videos now are about your married life(congratulations btw🥳🥳) I was hoping you could do a video on the difference in academics in UK and Nigeria. I'm really worried I won't be able to cope as I've never experienced their type of educational setting. Also if you would talk a bit about juggling working and schoolwork and how you can get a job if you're not that skilled. I'm so sorry to ask you to go 2 years back and you may not even remember much but anything is okay. If you've done a video about any of these before then please drop the link. Again I'm so sorry for taking you back and thank you.
My wedding hmm the MC was my mum’s choice. We met on the reception of my wedding n he was just talking anyhow. His jokes were dry n somehow insulting. Secondly, when we arrived at my wedding venue it was so full with my mums people. All seats were filled. My husband had to ask me that babe is this our venue? Cos we did not recognize most of the people 😀😀
The Asoebi stuff ehn, I feel it's just full of stress. During my wedding planning, just told my friends to open a WhatsApp group and select Asoebi by themselves🤣🤣.
Sorry about all you have to pass through during your wedding. The Pastor words should have come few days earlier also Event planner is just a great idea of getting all burden away and have clearer vision.
@@Jaay2022 I’m good Jamila☺️, I hope you and the little one are doing ok. Take care and have a good week. I’ll see you next week in the comment section. 🤗🤗
I am not so sure it was a great idea to get a call from your pastor the night before. I mean you guys had counselling and all those should and would have been thought through! I mean were you supposed to call the thing off the night before? I mean technically, you could have if you were concerned but that definitely would provoke anxiety!
Oh it was from a good place. We didn’t do the counselling with my own church but Jason’s church. So it wasn’t my Pastor In Nigeria that counselled us, that’s why he still had to have a word with us before the wedding
What role did your husband's family play then? It seems you tried to do everything. Next time, decentralization of duty is the answer, wedding is for both families and not one side. Committee of friends are priceless even if you have event planner.
Oh my goodness! Cancellations, dummy cake, delay here and there, abrupt photo session and still you kept it together, you really are a strong lady!❣
I'm telling you. Those are kil*lers

It's only takes the grace of God for the bride not to cry or get pissed a day to the wedding or even on the wedding.....Thumbs up babe
Yeah. Most brides do, unless you have someone else planning the event for you.
I can’t help but notice your brows 😍 it looks neat 👌🏼
Awww thanks Chisom
i feel you 🥺 the cake and picture part really pained me 💔 but like they say, the marriage is the main thing ❤️
You are so right.
Wedding planner is so important, I experienced somethings related to ur experience too but glory...

Thank you sweet Dera for always dishing out great content 😍.. I never saw the need for a wedding planner but now I do .. God bless you sis
That was the same thing the baker did for my brother during his wedding. I had to para for the baker and she sent a proper cake lera
I will definitely suggest a wedding coordinator for the day if you can't afford a wedding planner.
Thank you so much for this video it comforted me about my wedding drama.
The Cake Vendor has credibility after all by sticking to the refund plan. That was a series of anxiety. Pele. Wishing you a happy married life.

Hahahaa totally relatable
Yooooo no cake! My best man better run Tesco and grab a lil somethin somethin 👏🏾
