Hey guys, I've not posted in a while. Isn't it nice how that screams consistency? Lol jokes. I promise to do better.
My mantra has always been 'I'm looking forward to my wedding day and not exactly to marriage' but who am I deceiving? Lol.
I think every girl has their wedding fantasy kept somewhere close for easy editing and all so I thought to share some of the reasons I'm looking forward to getting wedded.
• Pre-wedding shoot : Some years back, this wouldn't have been on the list but with all these beautiful and also hilarious pictures that have been surfacing online, I'm patiently looking forward to mine. You see why I said our wedding fantasies are kept close for easy editing?
• Bridal Shower : I know this isn't on most people's list and it's written in pencil on mine too but I think bridal showers are fun so I wouldn't mind having one.
• Throwing of Bouquet : I've not been to a wedding ceremony in ages but do they still do it? I hope so because I want to throw my bouquet and see the struggle to catch it. Hahaha
• Dress, Makeup : I'm not big on makeup but did you guys see the picture of that Nigerian bride who went all natural on her wedding day? I think she's the MVP. I'm not being vain but I intend to look a billion dollar and more on my wedding day. Peng, On fleek and everything. I'm still trying to create my wedding dress in my head. I think wearing a colour other than white is cool but you know Nigerians and the way we raise eyebrows and jump into conclusions so white it is for me.
• The dance floor : Ah, I intend to scatter the dance floor. Is it possible to get shy when it's time to dance on your wedding day? If it is then I come against such spirits and forces. I'm not particularly a good dancer but I plan to dig it that day.
• Writing toasts : All those cute toasts the couple write to each other? I'm eager to see what I would come up with. Hopefully something cute, creative and original. Do people really ask others to write theirs for them?
Are we together on all this? What are you looking forward to? What did you look forward to?
Just for laughs, I'm definitely not looking forward to the following
• The anxiety : I've heard stories of how brides are unable to sleep on their wedding eve. All the fuss and worry about if the wedding dress still fits and if the caterer wouldn't sly and all. I think this is pretty normal but I'm not looking forward to it.
• Sudden trust issues : You know the 'That time I offended bae, what if he hasn't really forgiven me and plans to pay back by not showing up', 'Does he really love me?', 'What if nobody shows up?' 'What if the rings get misplaced?'. The endless what ifs. Sigh
• The part where the minister uses the 'If you're against this union' line. I heard some churches don't do this anymore and while I think it's necessary, I don't like the goosebumps that'd come with it.
That sums it up for me guys! (I know wedding is for a day and marriage is forever)
What and what are you looking forward to?

Yessss I love everything about weddings. You should watch the Lokkos Wedding on Youtube, so beautiful. Haha , I told my mum that recently. That I can't wait for my wedding but I'm in no hurry to get married. Yes, that's one thing I'm really afraid of. Getting cold feet or second thoughts *shivers*. Great post Laitan! xx

Demilade, thank youu
DeleteI think there's
this stage of
our lives where
wedding is all
we care about.
I'm there right now
and I'm enjoying
it.
Nice blog... keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for
Deletevisiting.
Please do come
back
The reverse was the case for me. i looked forward to the marriage and not so much he wedding. Couldn't be bothered honestly. Got my dress like a month before. Plus I'm not a fan of dancing, so I didn't look forward to that so much. Lol. Wedding fever must be in the air - I have like three wedding posts planned!

6 Love Lessons Learnt from my Wedding Ring
Lool, I feel you
DeleteKachee. I'm waiting
on them!
Lool I totally enjoyed this article!
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with weddings
So obsessed
I cannot remember the time I watched clips of one on BellaNaija or some other site and didn't feel my heart get heavy and my eyes get watery
I love love and I can't wait till my prince charming brings my dreams to reality ☺��
Thank you!
DeleteWhat's there not
to love about
them? Thanks for
reading
I love this. Hilarious pre-wedding shoots indeed. I'm not sure about pre-wedding shoots and all I think about is marriage not the wedding. I could try the all-natural look for the wedding if my skin issues are totally gone, that's my only problem. But I do love make-up so maybe makeup for the engagement. But wait o, are wedding bells in the air? This one you're talking about it.
ReplyDeleteLool. Wedding bells?
DeleteNot at all. The tv
show just inspired
this post. When
wedding bells start
ringing, I'm pretty
sure all that
would be in my
head is marriage.
But till then,idk.
Thanks for reading
dear
Interesting post, Olaa!
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember what I looked forward to prior to my wedding. Lol
It's a beautiful day. Just don't prepare for for it more than you prepare for the real deal- the marriage.
Lol at you intend to scatter the dance floor. I was kind of shy on mine. My bridesmaid kept saying, "dance! dance!"
PreciousCore.com
Lool. I wouldn't dare.
DeleteYes, I remember reading
something about it
on your blog.
Thank you ๐
First of all I lovee your theme, to be honest, this whole list is so me. I love to dance so I can't wait to scatter that dance floor, then I would also love to sing for my husband that day.lol talking about the anxiety and all the other stuff, I really think it's inevitable, I also realised that most brides lose their voices before the big day, I can do see myself doing that.This was an amazing post๐๐
ReplyDeletewww.portableisthenewhot.blogspot.com
Really? I'm
Deletethinking of changing
it. Now you know
there's a list.
Thank you dear

I just came back from Zambia , went for my best friend's wedding and it was lovely . It made me start dreaming about my own in the near future. What I look forward to is just being the diva for the day as usual lol and enjoying with my family. I dont look forward to the planning. My friend was super stressed though in the end it was worth it. Loved reading this post.x

To be honest, I have no fantasies. I'll probably just go along with whatever bae and/or my mum want. (mum doesn't approve of this plan though.)

DeleteLol...interesting! Funny enough I did a post,giving advice to brides-to-be on some of the fears mentioned here. I know I couldn't sleep, the night before my wedding. There is always a rollercoaster of feelings you would experience. Apprehension,fear,excitement,hunger yet loss of appetite and more.Lol...don't worry.

Aww, thank you, thank
Deleteyou. I hope to see
you again. xxxx
I forgot to add that I personally look forward to the marriage more than the wedding. I do not like weddings particularly Nigerian Weddings; there are too many serenren involved. I just want a quiet peaceful ceremony.
ReplyDeletewwww.memoirsofagreat.com
I guess the Me
Deletethat looks forward
to the wedding more
is a phase I'd soon
pass. Too much
senrenren oh!
Lol. Nice one. I imagine my wedding day and marriage almost everyday.

When I was little, I went for a wedding with an older relative. the officiating Minister started the "If you are against the marriage..." sermon, and I thought it was cute to stand up just for fun. I'm glad I didn't because the stare I received from the big aunt next to me was that of "I know what you're thinking and if you try it..." hahaha...
ReplyDeleteI look forward to that day too.
I really loved the post laitan. I'm looking forward to marriage o,not really the wedding. I think it will be too much stress and too much noise.
