it is very wrong. Is very popular with the yoruba's. it can be so annoying. Just like the wedding i went to during Easter, before the couples were matched in people have eaten and already going home. i was so pissed. It can never happen in an Igbo wedding. I trust my people.

At a wedding reception, point of correction. Most people leave their house early in the morning to attend church service and then proceed to the reception. It usually take time before the couple would be called in and you don't expect people to wait that long before eating.. to the best of my knowledge, food is being served once people start arriving the reception irrespective of the presence of couple or not and that I feel is the proper thing to do..why starve ur guests?

Unknown said...

Its proper naa...

Its very proper naw.

Who they send this kind thing? Naija is naija! When you keep people in church for 100 hours,then you take pictures for 200 hours, you want make them die for the reception

Unknown said...

Not proper.

Bishop Dammy said...

Why do people like giving unnecessary meanings to things! What's the headache all about! Celebrate with the couple(eat and drink, den give your gift) and you can go home. Eph 5:25

NaijaDeltaBabe said...

Omo, hunger no get respect

Unknown said...

Hahaha😃😃😃😃😃 does it matter

Unknown said...

its not okay.... Well sometimes activities should not necessarily be sequencial but simultaneous.

ary said...

Most people are there to eat their fill so if that happens it defeats the purpose of the reception/event! I don't think it is right because they eat and just go home.

Unknown said...

It's proper mehnn, to keep people busy till the bride n groom arrive unless people won't stay long.

bomi said...

Anything goes for naija. That's how we do. But I think it's not proper, because it's a former of respect for the bride and the groom, cos it's their day.

Unknown said...

What's wrong with that? Is there a specific time to eat food in a wedding? Pple just make life unnecessarily hard with this imaginary rules

Anonymous said...

Yes and y not? We don't ever keep to time. They spend 2-3hrs in d church then more than 6hrs taking pictures after church so they keep there guest waiting & hungry what do yu expect.

If the couple delays and the guest are hungry, why not, make dem come die of hunger.

Nimelda said so......

Unknown said...

Over proper sef! Nothing wrong with the idea. Linda take note!

Unknown said...

yes they do na , depending , if the couple come very late to the reception then people need to eat so it will even keep them in their chair

Anonymous said...

so na the groom and bride we wan chop, please serve the food, people are hungry already,they left their homes early to celebrate with u, why punish them and not serve till d couple enters,there are kids that needs to eat also.
Nigerian wedding that will waste time b4 the couple comes in, they will acknowledge presence of anything important to the couple's family, even if na green cow.
the Nigerian of today that people no longer taste the cake that was cut at the wedding.

Anonymous said...

Before nko? Do u want them to die of hunger because your are wedding. It is celebration day not starving day. kiss my ass.

Anonymous said...

Well its not ethnically correct to do so but in Nigeria,if you wait for the bride and groom to finally get to the reception venue from the church/mosque/registry,you are likely to have died from hunger.

But I also notice you said main course so I believe if people are served entrees then that should hold the hunger at bay pending the grand entrance after mad traffic from parents church in okokomaiko and reception venue in lekki cos the,kids have hammered and can't bring their friends to reception venue in okoko, pics,selfies,quarrels with deejay on music to play,quarrels between bridesmaids on who stays first in line,drama between groomsmen that have slept with bridesmaids but didn't propose etc etc.

Next news please.

Unknown said...

I think it's a great idea lol.

Hardly happens! in-fact never seen it happen in all parties I've been opportune to attend.

Anonymous said...

People who have come from far places may start to eat if the duration of the wedding is longer than expected and nothing wrong if well organised.

Unknown said...

The decor is beautiful and as 4 d question, shit do happens.

ogechi N said...

I for one do not subscribe to keeping ppke hungry while waiting for the long long talk b4 the entry..it wears me out

Anonymous said...

It all depends. ..I attended a wedding reception where the couple arrived at 5:30pm cuz they were held in traffic from island(church) to ilupeju for reception. In dis case of course Yes

Kponskii said...

I don't see anytin wrong with with. I never attend any where bride n groom dey eat. The guests can toast together with the couple.

Anonymous said...

Happens all the time in naija. The couple and train are usually busy taking pictures after the ceremony while guests are at the reception venue waiting.

Danny Cruz said...

I dnt knw. Whether u eat d food b4 of afta d couples arrival all na d same. Sheyb u go still chop am?

APPLE said...

It is not proper.

oak said...

Well....in nigeria we HARDLY have three course meal in our immediate families tho some do. Also at weddings u hardly see 3 course;may just dessert which wld come in as cake. So it now depends on your defination of what's proper.

Unknown said...

The decor is beautiful and as 4 d question, shit do happens.

Anonymous said...

Yes it does happen well in naija and its especially for weddings where there is no appetisers, so in order not to bore d guests, dey start d main course immediately. ..

Marburg said...

There is nothing bad in that because this same guests came from the church service before they moved to the reception hall.

Tristanflow said...

I don't think it should be that way. But as long as it is naija I reserve my comment

Its really happening in some areas sha. Personally i think it isn't proper, at least doin chops and deserts is somewhat cool before the arrival of the couples.

Unknown said...

Der is no wrong der

Unknown said...

It depends,tho no tym-re we 2 starve simply bcos we attended a wedding where d b/bg re late 2 d hall ?

GOLDENBOY said...

ITS NOT PROPER,BUT IF REFRESHMENTS ARE REQUIRED BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF DEM COUPLES, NOTHING SHOULLD STOP IT. BUH PLS AFRICANS, DO NOT HESITATE TO EAT FROM HOME BEFORE ATTENDING WEDDINGS. #WAHDAH

Unknown said...

For me it is not proper as d guests are not dere to eat but to celebrate n honour d couple.. d couple hav to arrive first before any form of merriment..

Lin says so...

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

No no no, not proper because in Nigeria wen having an occasion and u knw food is served, my dear that is d end of the occasion because immediately they've gotten their food,you see them leaving which is bad.so I guess the bride and groom should arrive first be4 food can be served

weeding is is all about merriment, and joyous moment....so there food and drink are to be serve before or in between the party.

Either way is cool...some couples take time b4 getting to the reception n quests should be feeling hungry by than..so i guess its not inappropriate at all

Unknown said...

Yes main course is d fried rice while desert comes as truffle and ice cream get it now

Unknown said...

Pls eat anytyn u want hahahaha

Chioma Ijomah said...

It depends on the invitees and how long the church service lasted.
If they are homeless people, then it's okay..
If the church service lasted for four to six hours, then it's also okay.

Unknown said...

Oga Wale...it happens a lot.
If u don't start sharing food quick. People will start murmuring and think u don't have enough to go round.

Anonymous said...

Yes. There is usually a very large crowd in Nigerian weddings. If you wait for the couple to arrive before sharing food, people will go home hungry.

Unknown said...

Lol its happens in nigeria true buh it's nt right!

yawanow said...

It happens especially when the wedding location is far from friends and families.

Unknown said...

It happen in Nigeria after item 7 people will dismiss

Unknown said...

Neva experienced it.........entertainment of guest is usually afta d couples has marched in....


Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....

That Function Gurl said...

Very often o! But I think it's wrong! Courtesy demands you wait!

Juleslouis said...

Nah. Very wrong. In that case, many will leave after eating. Lol. That's what most of them came for anyway!-food.

Anonymous said...

In Nigeria, it is acceptable to serve a taster e.g. small chops and a cool beverage as it takes awhile for the reception to start. Also recall that in Nigeria our receptions can last up to 4 hrs while in the diaspora, the reception is completed in little under 2hrs.

Unknown said...

Na so jare. If bride and groom no quick show..........Man pikin must chop.

Unknown said...

Its wrong accepted, but when the couple begin to waste too much time, then the main course can be served. After all they've been joined as man and wife, only the merriment remains.

Eat before you leave for the wedding, na there you plan eat ur morni food? Dat you re saying some1 that left d house since morni to d wedding reception must ve been so hungry by that time. My frnd eat b4 u leave ur house nd wait till whenever d food is served. It's not ur party but theirs so don't dictate for them

Unknown said...

i think its not much of a bad idea though i would rather have it the other way round during my wedding.

Unknown said...

Na so jare. If bride and groom no quick show..........Man pikin must chop.

ZeeZee said...

I don't think it's wrong considering the fact that the couple most of the time arrive the venue very late. That is the least they can do to apologize for keeping their guests waiting.

Anonymous said...

The new couple should arrive before lunch time so that their guests do not starve.

Unknown said...

As long as it takes naw, na food u come shop?!

Subomi said...

lol, I dont think so

Unknown said...

IT IS NOT PROPER BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS DONE. MOST NIGERIAN WEDDINGS ARE DRAGGED FOR SO LONG.

IMAGINE AN AVERAGE GUEST WHO WOKE UP TO ATTEND A WEDDING AROUND 8AM IN THE MORNING, GETS DRESSED AND LEAVES THE HOUSE AROUND 10AM WITHOUT EATING ANYTHING. MAYBE THE CHURCH SERVICE WAS MEANT TO START AT 11.AM BUT THEY DIDNT START TILL 12AM. LETS SAY THE CHURCH SERVICE WAS ONLY MEANT TO BE FOR AN HOUR BUT THE SERVICE WAS 2 HOURS LONG. ....MEANING THE TIME IS 2PM ALREADY. RECEPTION WAS MEANT TO START AT 1PM AND PEOPLE WHO DID NOT ATTEND CHURCH SERVICE ARE ALREADY WAITING AT THE RECEPTION. BY 3.30/4PM THE BRIDE AND GROOM ARE JUST GETTING TO THE RECEPTION DUE TO DELAYS/ PHOTOGRAPHY AND ETC.

YOU CANNOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO JUST WAIT HOURS UPON HOURS. I FEEL THAT IT IS QUITE DISRESPECTFUL TO YOUR GUESTS TO KEEP THEM WAITING TOO LONG.

I REMEMBER ATTENDING A CHURCH WEDDING SERVICE WHICH DID NOT FINISH UNTIL AROUND 4-5PM (IT SHOULD HAVE FINISHED AROUND 1PM) I WAS SO HUNGRY, I ACTUALLY LEFT THE CHURCH SERVICE TO GO EAT OUTSIDE, IN FACT, I EVEN HAD TIME TO GO TO THE MARKET TO BUY GROCERIES SELF. BY THE TIME THE BRIDE AND GROOM GOT TO THE RECEPTION AT 6PM, PEOPLE HAD EATEN AND THEY WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE SELF. THAT DAY I ALREADY HAD OTHER PLANS, JUST LIKE I SUSPECT OTHER HAD TOO.

BRIDE AND GROOMS SHOULD TAKE NOTE NOT TO OVERDO THE TIME WASTING PISS THEY TAKE. AN HOURS OVERALL IS UNDERSTANDABLE. ANYTHING BEYOND THAT IS BEGINNING TO IRRITATE THE GUESTS. BIRDE AND GROOMS SHOULD APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT GUESTS OFFER TO ATTND THEIR "DO'S' ....AFTERALL, IF I AM NOT FASTING, WHY SHOULD I WAIT TILL 6PM OR 7PM BEFORE I EAT MY BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER?

Unknown said...

You no eat before u commot house

Unknown said...

Very wrong

Unknown said...

it very wrong.trust naja some go for food and to take away,normally it suppose to serve after the couples arrival....

Anonymous said...

Highly inappropriate. They can have appetizers until the bride and groom arrives and everybody eat the main meal at the same time.

Anonymous said...

That means you are not been to a lot of wedding in naija, Lagos especially. O MA se o.
