My Elder Bro is getting married in about 5 weeks time. Too most of you reading this, i know it dont concern you but i had to post it on my blog for a reason.
Mr bro, T is Xtian and Ibo from Imo State while S (his wife to be) is a muslim from Auchi in Edo State. Now some years back, this union would have been frowned upon in many families (even mine, maybe). It was not that easy anyway, i would assure you, but i guess it all boils down to the couples and maybe a bit of understanding from the families.
Inter-religious marriages are not easily acceptable as much as inter-tribal marriages. The later seems to be more common these days anyway. I'll have to give it to S and her family for their compromise cos it was not easy. She decided to convert to a xtian and the family, reluctantly i must emphasise, have agreed so. All in all, they would be getting married in June 9th (at Auchi) and 16th (Urualla, my home town). I'm really excited, cant wait for it, maybe cos i am the best man (my first) and cos my entire family would be together for the first time since December, 1992 when we lost our dad.
Thank God its not mourning that brought us together this time. S, we cant wait to have you in our family. Below is the link to their wedding website for those who want to know more. I know u dont know them but you could just sign the guest book for the fun of it.
Cheers
