This wedding of a thing happened just to quick for the bride and her family. Last week,her in-laws came in asking for her hand in marriage and they requested the wedding take place on that day but dad told them to leave it till the following week and they agreed. Islamically, the father of the bride has to do some research on the groom and his family before he accepts the proposal and he did it within a day. The events we are hosting are just henna party, walima/yini and then finally budan Kai which will take place in the brides house after her conveyance. She is getting married into a kanuri family and they will perform a traditional event( kaule) when they get to maiduguri. Her house is in Abuja by the way

We have just concluded the henna party. Her in-laws came and sprayed a sum of 300 thousandth on her and bathed her with perfume. I do cherish the kanuri culture, we will be having the walima/yini tomorrow after the Daurin aure before she will then be conveyed to her house the next day and have the kaule tradition done over there. On the walima day, The  ashobie (Ankara) sewn by almost everyone will be worn, the bride is dressed in a black and red laffaya gifted to her by her mother inlaw, we will go to Abuja by train and then get a plane to maiduguri. Just me(hidaya) the bride and her groom, few of her friends and relative. Baba is paying for 10 people and her father inlaw is also paying for 10people also,So we have 20people going already.

Back to the yini

The bride got dressed in a black and pink lace sewn beautifully into a straight gown and her simple unique ture kaga style placed perfectly on her head. The event was to talk place at aunty ladi's house as she is the oldest and her house has more space. We finished getting dressed and got to the house,?The event was so nice because it was all ladies, they danced to the local drummers. Everything was just nice and everything ended peacefully,the fact that she was the first child our Alhaji Ibrahim Ado Bayero, the wedding had to be lit. The bride was an emotional one, she cried so much she was not ready to be a mrs. she wanted the wedding to take place at least in three months but the deed had already been done

"Don't forget her rich mother oo who even sent her to London can marry her to a rich old man ai. Fulani's are known for that already" aunty hadiza continued

"Enough enough, I don't care how old you are or what relationship we shared but you should keep your useless thoughts to your selves. Get your children married before you can talk to me, yes she took me to London, how much did you contribute?bunch of useless fools" hidaya fired back, rage evidence in her voice. If there was something that hidaya could do is not been able to restrain herself when her anger issues start
