Weekend at a glance: nigerian wedding #24

My StyleWeekend

May 31

I could write about all the wonderful places I went over the weekend and pictures I took but it would make this post entirely too long. Instead, I'll just highlight Sunday, when I attended a Nigerian wedding. Those who know me know how much I love my African people. I would say I'm Nigerian (Yoruba), by association. This was my second Nigerian wedding ever, except not as traditional as the first. All the same, I was happy to be part of the experience.First, let me talk a little fashion. The dress I wore was purchased from Miss Selfridge in the UK. I really love that site and I was excited to wear that dress. Initially it was for my birthday a month ago but it came afterwards. When I got it and started putting it on, I realized...that I couldn't get into it!!! Who could possibly be tinier than me?! And why don't I still know my UK size? And if I gained weight, why hasn't my scale been notified?! Oh well. With my baby oil gel in tow, I managed to get into the dress. You can buy this dress here.

My very close friend, Bekky invited me to the wedding of Yetsa (pronounced, ach-aa). Through Bekky, I've gotten to know the bride, as well as her twin sister, and maid of honor, Eyi. Note: when you're invited to a wedding where you don't know anyone, be prepared to look like the kid that doesn't have friends at the lunch table.

I loved how simple the wedding was. It started relatively on time. It was quick and to the point. Lots of dancing and good food. I was really feeling the yellow and green colors for the spring. Loads of fun!
