Wedding palaver
Today was fun but also hectic. My neighbour got married today and after a smooth traditional wedding yesterday, today Was one disaster after another.
My neighbour slept at my house last night because theirs was filled with guests who were sleeping over so we all stayed up chatting, the bride didn't sleep until after 2am so she woke up late.
We wanted to wake her up but the Make up artist told us to allow her wake on her own so that her face will not be bloated. Aunty slept till almost 7:30 meanwhile the wedding will commence by 10 and from the house to the church is about 30minutes.
When she woke up, it was a rush to get her prepared in time and luckily we were able to finish everything before nine. Lets go to the church now, driver was no where to be found, we called and called but his phone was off, by then it was already after nine, the house was almost empty because the others have already gone to the church, even her bridesmaids had all gone. It was just Her, her sister, her chief bridesmaid, the makeup artist and me.
We had to call the groom to send a car from the church, this was already nine thirty and that means before the car arrives, it will be almost ten and it would take us another thirty minutes to reach the church.
Luckily a few minutes later, the original driver arrived and we asked him what happened. The werey was busy picking up the grooms relatives and dropping them off at the church, can you imagine?
Anyway, The bride and her chief left in the car and the rest of us took chartered a taxi to the church.
Arriving at the church, we encountered another problem. After raging and shouting at the bride, asking why she was late, the pastor's wife began to complain that her dress was too long, that the thing was dragging on the floor and she wants the brides shoes to be visible. We literally had to pin up the hem of the gown so that her shoes could show only then did the wedding commence.
When we got to the reception nko? The designers that were told make a high table setting for twelve people made for only eight and they had to set another table last minute right there in the presence of the guests.
Anyway, the day is over and there was surplus food😂 I wish them a very happy married life and a blissful home.
