IGBA NKWU NWANYI (Nonye & Nnamdi)




Hello Fam,

So sorry I didn’t post any updates through out the month of May but as you all know, the whole of May was spent making preparations for my Traditional Marriage ceremony (+ pre-honeymoon vacay *winks*) and God made it perfect. 

My siblings and I took off on a Tuesday, got to Awka safely and got down to business.
Wednesday was spent shopping for souvenirs in the famous Onitsha (My new home) Main Market. 

THURSDAY: INTRODUCTION
At 3:00pm, The Elders from Mr. O’s family and his uncles traveled down to Awka for the introduction.

It was a small gathering of Elders from the Umuzocha Community (My Family) and   the Umudei Community (Mr. O’s Family).

I was summoned to the gathering and asked if I wanted the Elders to accept the drinks from Ndi Obia (the visitors) and I answered in the affirmative *excited* and then I was given a cup of palm-wine to take a sip and then hand over to my Mr.O so he too could drink it up and be identified and accepted as my suitor, and I did.

God was very faithful as it did not rain on our “Igba Nkwu” day.
