Nismat's POV
Occasions are things I generally dislike attending. Am a type of person that hates crowd, am not an introvert but I definitely don't like a crowded place.
But this was entirely different my two Besties are getting married same day,same venue, same time -sisters for life hayrat and bilkisu.I arrived at my Aunty's place in Abuja a week to the wedding and moved to their house five days to the wedding ,the screams ,hugs and laughter's they had on their face on seeing me was priceless!
The first day of the wedding event was the henna day sa lalle and walimah.
Which was on Thursday everyone was getting halter scalter to get her henna done .Second day was the kamu the brides were dressed in maroon colour and golden headgear, grooms were dressed in golden baban riga the bridesmaids were in milk colour outfit and maroon headgear- the venue was decorated in maroon and golden colour with kumbo and fayfay - traditionally decorated.
Saturday was the wedding fatiha ,reception and crossing of the sword. The house was so busy .
I had been piercing around to to fro in the house ,suddenly it boomed me that my clothes are yet to be brought by the tailor. -"uhmm" she answered me not bothering to look my way. 'The tailor is yet to bring our clothes , and i am leaving immediately after the fatiha to the venue to finish preparations' - "you should go I will bring it for you then you dress up before the event gets started ". 'Billy 'what about my make-up who is going to do it for me even though I prefer nude make-up but I still have to look the best this your Ajebo friends and their bragging the like looking down at people' I Said rolling my yes
'The real ajebotas are not yet here hayrats besties during secondary school days they call their selves the three stars' ,"I used to call them pasa taro their arrival would be known by all ." I will come along with the make-up artist your makeup won't take long I know but I will make sure you look stunning to attract all the eligible bachelor's there" she winked.After arriving at the event venue for two hours everything was set and ready for the arrival -it was a Reception/crossing of the sword- I disappeared for half an hour to go get dressed up.
I was surprise to come back and find the event hall almost full.I was dressed in a sky blue ball gown,with a silver clutch and navy blue headgear. Matching the brides navy blue and milk outfits -the brides maidens were in a milk gowns and navy blue headgears- the event venue was a combination of the two colours.
It was a hilarious moments with a lots of eating,dancing, jokes for the amazing MC I really liked his sense of humor if I was to have an event in my wedding I would have definetly invited him. And then it was time to say the biography.......
"Allhamdulilah, All praises be to Almighty Allah, the king of kings- for allowing us to witness this great day. First of all I will like to thank each and everyone for attending this great occasion," I took a deep breathe 'its not an easy job to say the biography of two friends at a time- but what to do they said its both of them or not so I have to oblige'
"I met both of them about 5years ago and ever since then they were my BFF's . they both attended Queen's college at primary level,Federal Government Girls College Bwari,and University of Maiduguri currently in their final year in Radiography. Bilkisu is an innocent soul,an introvert ,an amazing friend, a caring sister ,a great cook l and am sure she's gonna be an everlasting wife." And there was clapping and cheering in the hall.
"As for hayrat she's an extrovert a very annoying soul ,a great Caterer and a marvellous friend .... She can bake for Africa and am sure she's going to be an awesome wife" And everyone was in awe by the little biography I gave.
The wedding was over after the conveyance of the brides with a lot of emotional talk cries and hug-it was a memorable wedding to me. Hayrat was taken to her home at gwarinpa while bilkisu was traveling to lagos.
Hey peeps I know I am anoyying am sorry here is an update.
