My friend was getting married , so we went together to the market to get the items requested of the grooms family by the bride family. Eru Iyawo is an important aspect of the Yoruba Traditional marriage ceremony as the ceremony isn't complete without the items listed being made present on the wedding day .
The Eru Iyawo also has a lot of significance as all the items listed have a role to play . The significance of each item in the Eru iyawo is explained in this video. #eruiyawo #eruiyawopackaging #yorubawedding #adultingwithmodupe
The Eru Iyawo has mostly being maintained over centuries but the arrangement of these items on the wedding day has evolved in recent years , there are now so many beautiful themes for the eru iyawo arrangement , items are now artistically wrapped and this has also provided a source of income to people as wrapping and buying of these eru iyawo is seen as a business.
I look forward to your feedback as we all learn about this important aspect of the marriage ceremony in the Yoruba culture .
