Wedding Bells for Kuku

It's was a lovely albeit tiring day on Saturday. We had my sister's sendforth, which is my people's version of traditional wedding. Since my people usually send the girl off to her husband's place where the marriage is made official, this was an opportunity for them to say goodbye and party, like we Nigerians like to do.

It was a very successful event. Grace looked so beautiful, clad in red and gold.  I was amazed at how she danced in front of the crowd, being the shiest of three sisters, although I now remember her saying "I don't want to be one of those shy brides oh" once during a conversations about the then coming trad wedding and the white wedding proper.
The family will say its final goodbye to Grace on the 22nd at the white wedding. I can almost not wait for it.

I hate to push it forward but with all the gatherings and trips I have to make during this period it may be hard for me to post on other issues apart from all the wedding updates. I love to take my time to write something people would enjoy reading, something that would make them (you) think. So, I crave your indulgence all the while being thankful to those of you who visited and read previous posts. Thanks a million.

Here's a picture of my sister, the bride, Grace!
Enjoy your week lovelies!
