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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. ..
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.
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
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..
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?

That's nothing wrong with that, some people re usually in a hurry so if U don't serve them early, U might end up eating d food urself

Wale Gate ask Ur mother? What's my business
Nah! I don't think its proper, and I've never witnessed that in any wedding ceremony that I have attended.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Wateva rocks ya boat!
B4 nkor? If am damn hungry I will have to wait for the couples abi? Owuya nah.
Who told u wale?

Omo, hunger no get respect
Hahaha😃😃😃😃😃 does it matter
its not okay.... Well sometimes activities should not necessarily be sequencial but simultaneous.
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.
It's proper mehnn, to keep people busy till the bride n groom arrive unless people won't stay long.
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.
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
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.
well, i can't say anything cos i have never been to any marriage occasion that this kind of thing happen b4
Nimelda said so......
Over proper sef! Nothing wrong with the idea. Linda take note!
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
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.
Before nko? Do u want them to die of hunger because your are wedding. It is celebration day not starving day. kiss my ass.

Next news please.
I think it's a great idea lol.
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.
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.
In Yoruba land....its possible
The gods are wise
Gab2shoessaysso
It's not proper. Food shd be eaten after the 1st dance of the couple
Haba!! No!!
LMAO! There's everything wrong with that
is there even a first course, abeg o. but it should not be done
As in ehh it's nt rite 4me cos afta deyy finish eaten dey will start leaving one by one
Lib freak
This asinine man, u should learn how to project d good image of ur country and not painting them bad in d international arena.
Yes. OOO food is d main reason most people go to any ceremony in naija
The decor is beautiful and as 4 d question, shit do happens.
I for one do not subscribe to keeping ppke hungry while waiting for the long long talk b4 the entry..it wears me out
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
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.
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.
I dnt knw. Whether u eat d food b4 of afta d couples arrival all na d same. Sheyb u go still chop am?

There is nothing bad in that because this same guests came from the church service before they moved to the reception hall.
I don't think it should be that way. But as long as it is naija I reserve my comment

Lin says so...
Yea it happens a lot in Nigeria Buh it most def not proper
It does happen a lot oh. When The Bride And Groom Won't Arrive On Time nko
And how is that is business
#busybody
....JOSHSAYSO...LIB...FAN
yes its good so that no time will waste oh
Na your wedding abi na you cook the food? How e take concern you when people begin chop?
Lol...I think snacks should be served first then they serve food when the couple arrives.
Lol...I think snacks should be served first then they serve food when the couple arrives.
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
Me am a living testimony oooo, at my wedding b4 I and my hubby arrive d reception hall item.7 was already going oooo. Na so we c am 4 naija ooo
My guy....hungry never catch u....if hungry hold u...u go eat and clean mouth....lol
Me am a living testimony oooo, at my wedding b4 I and my hubby arrive d reception item.7 was already going oooo. Na so we c am 4 naija ooo
So all u came 2 do is 2 eat..sheoooor na u sabi starve urself cos u re goin 2 a party..
Snacks should do first.
weeding is is all about merriment, and joyous moment....so there food and drink are to be serve before or in between the party.
Lol! Corect
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
lovely and good looking stage for just two person.... decor is good
The unbelievable happens in Nigeria why bother urself with this write up
Yes main course is d fried rice while desert comes as truffle and ice cream get it now
Pls eat anytyn u want hahahaha
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.
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.
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.
Lol its happens in nigeria true buh it's nt right!
It happens especially when the wedding location is far from friends and families.
It happen in Nigeria after item 7 people will dismiss
Neva experienced it.........entertainment of guest is usually afta d couples has marched in....
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
Very often o! But I think it's wrong! Courtesy demands you wait!
Nah. Very wrong. In that case, many will leave after eating. Lol. That's what most of them came for anyway!-food.
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.
Na so jare. If bride and groom no quick show..........Man pikin must chop.
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.

God bless u. My thoughts.. They shud even be happy people came

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
i think its not much of a bad idea though i would rather have it the other way round during my wedding.
Na so jare. If bride and groom no quick show..........Man pikin must chop.
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.
The new couple should arrive before lunch time so that their guests do not starve.
As long as it takes naw, na food u come shop?!
lol, I dont think so
IT IS NOT PROPER BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS DONE. MOST NIGERIAN WEDDINGS ARE DRAGGED FOR SO LONG.

You no eat before u commot house
Very wrong
it very wrong.trust naja some go for food and to take away,normally it suppose to serve after the couples arrival....
Highly inappropriate. They can have appetizers until the bride and groom arrives and everybody eat the main meal at the same time.
That means you are not been to a lot of wedding in naija, Lagos especially. O MA se o.
