😂 😂 😂 “Tell your wife to be quiet.. this is our wedding “ 😂 😂 😂

You're wife is like a real life barbie doll 😍😊❤

“Stop bringing division into this family” 😂😂😂💀

You guys are funny. It’s like sitting in the living room talking to a couple of old friends. Shoot, my husband and I were married in our living room. Wedding reception was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans in our dining room. We had a blast! Hahahahaha, It was hilarious!!

Nigerian village music !! Ahhh lmbooo I’m weak!!😂😂😂😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brother Ezekiel but you didn’t warn her ? “Tell your wife to be quiet” 😭😭😭

I married into an African family too! This story made me have flashbacks 😂

Those skits are HILARIOUS!! Luv the vids, keep up the good work!

LOL aw man. I’m Ghanaian and I married a Portuguese man. Two strong cultures and big personalities. I can relate bahaha

"Tell your wife to be quiet"... It is your fault Ezekiel. You could at least have taught her the basics like "Don't say anything while they talking" I am Congolese and I can relate. My sister in law almost died when my mom almost died after she saw the menu and said she was not coming because she don't wanna be embarrassed. Talking about her friend can't eat sweet meat... Kayana, I am glad you stayed around, now look at how blessed your are...LOL

My Husband and I say it all the time. We would have went to the court and had a dinner with family and friends. It's about the marriage not the wedding.

"If you want certain gifts, invite certain people" 😂😂😂 This whole video was HILARIOUS! Definitely my new favorite channel.

We had 50 people at our wedding. Paid 50$ for the room and everyone paid for their own food. It’s what we could afford. We were happy with that

Love this video. I always said never to start a marriage off in debt. Stay within your budget.

I’m going through it RIGHT now!!!! I just wanna fast forward to the honeymoon! LOL!!!!!!!

"This is not your wedding" , lol! I believe that applies to every parent, they've it planned since the day you were born.

Honestly the little Igbo traditional beat actually goes 😂

I RATHER A GREAT MARRIAGE THAN THE OVER THE TOP WEDDING, ON ANY GIVEN SUNDAY BECAUSE AS YOU BOTH STATED IT SHOULD BE ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU AND GOD. SO MANY TIMES WE GET CAUGHT UP INTO THE OUTTER APPERANCE OF A RELATIONSHIP THAN THE INNER CONNECTION WITH YOUR PARTNER AND GOD. WE GET CAUGHT UP INTO THE DAY THAN THE JOURNEY GOD HAS PREPARED FOR US. BEING TRANSPARENT IS SOOO NEEDED THANKS AGAIN. 👑👑👑👑👑

I love this. My husband and I are the opposite of yall. Im the 1st gen Amer and he is the American and my parents said the same thing! That it wasnt our wedding but theirs. But we refused to take their money because it was only offered so they can control. And spiritually, allowing parents to control a wedding is opening a door for them to think they control the marriage and we werent having it. It was stressful making sure our will was not pulled against by carnal people and we leaned on each other and Christ. Its nice to see other young people our age saved and happily wed showing the world it can be done. So many people meet us and are asking questions. Yes saved couples in the Lord exist!

This was soo funny.. 😂😂😂 My graduation party was my parents party.. I expect my wedding will be too.. # The joys of being African..

😂😂😂😂 why was Kiyanna dancing like that. SO GOOD! You guys are great. I love these, keep 'em coming

Y'all renewing those vows right? You guys need a do over for real, for real

We bought our house before we even got married (but did not live together until after the wedding). At least we would have a nice home to come back to if the wedding sucked! Hahah. Great video y’all! We felt the same about our wedding too. But we Thank God for a beautiful marriage :)

you are gorgeous family. And I love the fact that he is Nigerian. They seem to have a different attitude then our American Brothers. Sister you are beautiful and he ain't so bad himself. God bless you. I pray this marriage last until Jesus comes back

Yess...minimalism is the way to go. Simple and sophisticated

Lord sounds like my wedding but mine was only 65 people, I still have ptsd from it.

Thanks for the advice. Wedding is a symbolic day and we should invest into the future

The "No wedding starts on time" got me😅😅😅 Cuz I've noticed that on most wedding. And also"if you want certain gift,invite financially stable people" got me. The advice at the end is PERFECTO. Thanks

LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN to any one out there, if you are NIGERIAN, YOUR WEDDING IS NOT YOUR WEDDING, ITS THE FAMILY'S WEDDING. just note that i cant believe they actually played village naija music at your wedding, there are actually really nice modern naija music, the DJ played at my wedding also and i loved it.

“This is OUR wedding” lmbooo 😂😂 these our African parents/family really be doing that 😩😂😂

I was jamming to that Iocallll Igbo tune....rewind😂😂chai you don finish me😂

Y'all!!! This had me HOLLERING 😂😂 WAIT.. The car drive and reception?? IM SO DONE😂😂😂But seriously y'all are a gorgeous blessed couple and His grace radiates from y'all. Keep up the example with realness. Blessings

LOVE YOU GUYS 😭❤️❤️

This video is like gold. Thanks for sharing. Your story sounds familiar! It is definitely more worthwhile to invest in the future than spend everything for just that one day. Also, Nigerian parents can be a lot... controlling...when it comes to weddings lol cos they want to show the family off or something 😂😂😂😂

Y’all are so beautiful to watch. So stimulating and inspiring...grateful for this channel 🖤

Lol, when y’all got married the Wizkids and Davidos wasn’t around to turn up the party. The anniversary will definitely be better IJN.

I just got married and I am struggling with trying to love my wedding. I compromised on what I wanted to make other people happy and avoid conflict so the wedding was NOTHING like I pictured. On the day of, I was so fed up, disappointed, miserable and tired, I wanted to skip my own wedding reception and just run off with my husband. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

LMAO!!! I can totally relate! The food, the music, the guests...I had my Pinterest-perfect wedding planned out to a 't' in my head, but then I also had my (very traditional) in-laws and hello, "this wedding is not for you". yeeeeesss, the type of guests really does determine the kind of gifts. lol. the same "older" guests I fought the idea of were the same people that had super solid gifts! All in all, it really was a good day.

These skits are too funny 😂😂😂....Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️

this video is soooo accurate!!! I just got married and my VERY NIGERIAN parents definitely made me see the wedding was for them not us. 😂😂 I enjoyed this video as usual. thank you.

can we discuss how beautiful the misses is!!!

This is perfect! Thank you all for sharing your story and providing a clean, wholesome channel!

I know people who have had lavish over the top wedding but were divorced in under a year. So yeh its about the marriage not the wedding.

I have planned out several wedding scenarios for any budget and wants: rooftop, formal hall, court house then lunch/brunch, backyard, b&b, or destination already. The wedding is the easiest part for me, I've been to a million weddings in my 22 years and I saw all levels of family involvement, drama and disaster. The marriage prep will be my focus once I get engaged, simply sitting down with a wedding planner to rundown EXACTLY what we like or don't, our budget and leave it in their hands. No stress, hard limit on the guest list and boundaries with my family in love, because I know my family won't be pressuring me to do anything I don't want to or can't afford. We can enjoy the celebration and life together.

When I got married I used my church .Had the dinner in church dining room.My family and my husband family cook the food.Than we told everybody we like gift cards to buy for our apartment.Than we save for a year and than took a honey moon.My Church did the flowers and direction and the cake..We was just bless.And I been married for 37 years in November.May god bless you both.🌷🌹🎈🎈

Love this video!!! But my naija people sha, "the wedding is for us"😥😥😥

this is absolutely amazing!! I'm Nigerian and yes I understand you.. weddings really belong to the family.

"Making life decisions on McDonald's menu" 😆 oooh wee Wisd💎m.

While I agree that planning for the marriage is more important than planning for the wedding.....my husband & my wedding was exactly how we envisioned it because we....say it with me...stuck to our budget!! Note we were a 40-something American couple. We set our budget before we discussed plans with family. We also agreed that the day had 1 purpose: focus must be on us coming together as ONE. So anything that didn't align with that purpose was overruled. We made that clear up front. I'd seen too many brides crying the night before because of drama & opinions that had nothing to do with her & her husband coming together & didn't want that for myself. Get your do over!! I pray it's the vision you desire & deserve.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU GUYS!!! SMALL WEDDING, DOWN PAYMENT ON HOME, GREAT PICS AND AWESOME HONEYMOON!

You guys are so cute. I’m Liberian Nowadays, it’s a four day event. Meet N greet on Friday(huge party), the wedding on Saturday(with two sets of attires), the after party until dawn. Sunday is the huge cookout that can last till almost dawn. Monday is the farewell party for those from out of state. Yes, we have the competition to match the others too.

I am married and this is an honest video! Great video!

I love your channel! Thanks for your vulnerability and honesty. God bless you and your family.

My fave KZfaq couple. I smiled the whole time when watching your videos.

We had wedding last year in December and my African family allowed the devil to use them. I am still working off the bitterness in my heart.

Lmao. How you thought the reception would go down vs how it actually went down. So hilarious.

This is absolute truth from start to finish!! My husband and I are both black Americans and we had the same experience, drew all of the same conclusions and give the exact same advice!! 😂😂 A wedding is just a big festive door to the home of your life together. You gotta walk out in a lifetime what it took moments to say at the altar. Not for the faint hearted.....Thank you for sharing!! I pray the singles listen. 😉

I was stressed just watching this 🤣😂

Luv the honesty and wisdom! Hilarious! 😂😂😂

Sound advice! I am always told to plan for a marriage and not simply a wedding. I cracked up with the dad's imitation.

This is so resourceful! I try to tell people weddings dont have to cost a ton. You can DIY a lot which is what my KZfaq channel shows people how to do. I love you two though! Beautiful and blessed couple

Going through this right now 😂😂😂 thank you for the advice y’all 💕

Y’all so smart! I like y’all!

You just spoke life into my future “have a wedding you can afford”!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾

Am about to get married so this was great advice thanks so much for making this video

After I saw the prices for food and the type of venue I would want I said NOOOOPE. Even if I can afford it, I refuse! Lol. I ended up getting married in a small room with both sets of parents and siblings and we’re taking a 20 day cruise. Money well spent😂

If you’re gonna tell me “this is our wedding” you better be paying for it..

Thank you Azonwu's for sharing your experience. Ezekiel cracks me up when he does his family's voices! "Tell your wife to be quiet!" 😶🤔 😂. Bless Kiyana's (sp?) heart! As an African-American woman (Black American girl), I would have struggled there! 😳. I would have definitely been respectful, but like she said, she needed preparation. I wish his family had warned either of them. God is definitely wonderful & has greatly blessed them! Just goes to show you the MARRIAGE is more important than the wedding. I love this couple! 💕✝

HILARIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL!!! #BLACKLOVE

THE AZONWU'S ARE A WHOLE MOOD. SO REFRESHING!

Omg i can't😂😂😂😂. I've seen this guy at a spoken word in Autumn. He was funny then. And this puts the icing on the cake😂🤣.

I love you guys so much! 💜💜💜

My boyfriend is Liberian so give me some tips girl! My best friend told me that he told her a date he's proposing so I'm excited!!

Very true and hilarious. I already tell my parents to be prepared because my wedding will be on a budget. I am mature enough to understand that one day is not as important as the rest of my life. I am not here to impress anyone, lol!

This is why I want a simple prayer after church and a great honeymoon with my whole family

Amen!😂😂😂 I'm taking notes. Love you guys!😁😁😁

If they ain’t paying, they should keep quiet. That’s what I think. My parents would pay so they would decide most stuff or I elope, but I have good home training

That's so true. Who you invite determines what you get. You need the turn ups and grown ups. I don't even go to birthday gatherings without a gift. It's a MUST.

Sound financial advice. 👏🏽👏🏽 I'm not married OR dating, but I'm really glad I found y'all's channel 💕

😂😂😂😂 U made me laugh loud OMG..In Africa it's ur family wedding as for a couple is just ur marriage.. I can relate on mine..much love from Tanzania East Africa. Respect👍

after hearing this I'm def not having a wedding... great video loves!

Bridal shows are a great way to try & win things & not break the bank. From research, if you want an elegant type of a venue on a budget is to do an all-inclusive venue. It's good to have an all-inclusive venue so those involved with the wedding like photographer & band & guest won't have to drive to another location for the reception. Even if there are hiccups, it won't look so bad! For example, a golf course or hotel that can do an outdoor reception with a strolling reception outdoor as well on a patio or balcony. Then you're not double charged for outdoor & indoor fees. Do it during the off season and/or a non typical wedding day like Friday evening or Sunday it's cheaper. Usually these venues you can have a changing room onsite & golf carts to escort older guests. The strolling reception will allow you to order hors d'oeuvres vs a full plated dinner at $30 a plate & up. When serving the food, have servers go around serving & stations. Buy wine for the groom, bride, & bridal party & sparkling cider for everyone else to do the toast. Have them only serve a portion of the food in spurts vs. all at once. Give a cut off time for serving the food. For the cake, get a separate cake for the bride & groom & do miniature cupcakes, macaroon, candies for the guest-most folks waste cake nowadays. Have the first dance, daddy daughter dance, mother & son dance 1st so photographers don't have to find & gather everyone & everything is still in tact. Hire someone that can set up & tear down included in the fees if outdoor wedding. Have all the decorations pre made & everyone's bouquet & boutonnieres in a box so no one forgets or loses them. Measure before hand so you won't have to cut anything. The night before or morning of, all you have to do is place items on the tables and/or do chair covers. There are plenty of sites including Amazon where you can find nice decorations for cheap. For the reception, while the bridal party are taking pictures, have activity stations such as where should they travel, what advice would you give to keep people busy & not be antsy.

I laughed so hard at "village Nigerian music" and the face Kiyanna made

This is hilarious but so fascinating regarding culture. Haitian are somewhat similar 🇭🇹. We just want our food and music, maybe a Haitian hymn too. Thank you for the insights on a wedding.

So good! I love the creativity of your videos. I have a short youtube attention span but this was informative AND it kept me engaged the whole time. Great work! Love you guys!

Thank you both for being so open about your experience! You shared some great advice :) Love your videos!

OMG. That was my life. My folks wanted an after party 😒😫 and you know after the wedding you are so exhausted that you just only want to entertain your new spouse. I had to put a “HARD NO” because we all know Nigerian parties don’t start until midnight with folk still coming after in 3am and only God know when it will end😂😂.

I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 My Nigerian people are just TOO EXTRA!

Hilarity but you guys handled it all well and look at you now. It really isn't about the wedding, it's about the marriage.

So interesting to note the differences of here and in the West. In most African cultures,the wedding or the marriage is about uniting two families. Glad yall held on to each other AND Jesus lol even in Christian families the lines as to who the wedding is about get blurred.

I so LOVE that you match each other and that Jesus is important to you.You two are a vision for blacks in marriage of Jesus.God wants you to be yolked and happy.

Showing up to Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, even for family or friends who are in the hospital... plus more! Is a heart thing! And in my opinion a respectful thing too do....like they said invite folks who have your best interest at heart! If you can...

Awww...renewing those vows, y'all are giving me life b/c I have heard so many ppl say lately that they would not get married again, but I have faith that I will meet someone else and take that step.

The re-enactments are funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao...the skits are so so so funny...ï actually come back to watch it when I'm stressed..lol...you guys are amazing

Loved this video, so much truth and value, I'm single, but find myself stressing over that whole process, doesn't even make sense how I can handle so much other things life throws at me, BUT stress over something that's supposed to be beautiful and enjoyable. Smh

You guys are amazing!! 🙌🏽 Love your chemistry. Keep bringing the videos. New subscriber!! 😊

You guys are so beautiful, my wedding was similar except we had his family against us... Lol. I went to bed 5 am I had no help.... Almost running up in the church with bags under my eyes... Lol. However, the wedding was divided, the families were divided but 9 years later God has brought our families together.

Amazing content✨Keep up with the good work🙌🏼

I feel this video sooo much 😭 it confirms that I’m right 🤣 I’m 22 in college now with no money. So I’m frugal denna mug! When I get a real job(lol) I want to invest in da CRIB, da CAR, da HONEYMOON. Not a dress or a ceremony! But das me doe 🤷🏿‍♀️ I like to look at unconventional weddings dresses under $100 for fun 💅🏿 (Lulus & Windsor will bless you)
