In Nigeria, marriage is definitely a big deal considering the kind of money and energy people invest into it to make it happen.
That is the period where every bride gets to feel like a queen because of the way they are celebrated. It is usually a royal event and depending on how big the wedding is, you will be shocked to find the important dignitaries in the society there.
Marriage is treated with great respect and as such some cultures in Nigeria ensure that whoever comes to marry their daughters fulfill all the traditional rites to the latter.
In most cases, these traditional rites can be termed as expensive cultures to marry from and so are dreaded.
