Most ceremonies are considered culture and human necessity across the globe, such type of ceremonies includes wedding ceremonies. which is a prestigious event that take place among most couples. it is an event full of a lot of merriment including exchanging of vows, dancing, gifts and so on. I'm a little sceptical and terrified about wedding ceremonies as I'm not really a fan of attending parties not to talk of a majestic event such as a wedding ceremony, especially the noisy ones.
If I'm to count, I have attended at least 2 wedding ceremonies since I was born, well to the best of my knowledge both wedding ceremonies took place when I was still a child or a little bit of a teenager but I can't really say I enjoyed the event. the meal was good but the hall was so crowded and I felt overwhelmed by the noise of the speakers which made me very uncomfortable and sick.
I'm not married yet, well I can't really say I'm a fan of marriages eitherπ , I'm of the perspective that marriage is not a necessity but a choice, we will see how that plays out with my Yoruba parentsπ . most of you would know, especially Nigerians that Yorubas are grandmasters of planning majestic weddings.

If eventually I choose to get married, based on my type of personality and dislikes I wouldn't really cherish a majestic or noisy kind of wedding but a peaceful and cosy type. I guess the kind of wedding that took place between Simon Basset (the Duke) and Daphne Bridgeton in the popular TV series called Bridgeton.
Weddings are honourable events specifically established for the couples but along the line the primary objective of such event as shifted, it has now become an avenue to make money or a source of entertainment for the guest, taking the focus of the event away from the couples, caring little or less about the mental stress the couples are going through in the process of the event.
It should be known that not all bride, especially grooms have the courage to perform most activities outlined for them to perform on the wedding day, a lot of couples suffer from anxiety which is unknown to the MC, I know of some guys who practically consume a lot of alcohol in order to cope with the activities of that day. for someone like me who doesn't really enjoy drinking alcohol I wonder how that will work out for me.

I believe wedding ceremonies should be planned in a way that suits the bride and groom personality, making them comfortable with the activities, creating an everlasting memory for both couples but then we have the parents and guardian who practically dictates the whole event to suit their fantasy, as if they are the one getting marriedπ.
Like i said earlier, for a person like me, I wouldn't enjoy a crowed wedding, I prefer the type with very little reception consisting of my immediate family and invited friends, strictly by invitation. In a church, with not much speakers or none, in a very peaceful environment with a lot of decorum. it is going to be a white wedding of course, no MC needed, I wouldn't want to be stressed performing ridiculous activities proposed by the MC.
The maximum number of people that will be in attendance will be 60, which includes the instrumentalists, pastor e.t.c, nothing more than that. even with that number still seems crowded, I'm just being considerate just in case my partner has a large family. immediately after the wedding party is done, off we go, no after party or any sort of gathering similar to Edward Collin and Bella Swan type of wedding in the twilight movie franchise.
Moving to our honeymoon destination, a place surrounded by nature's beauty and fragrance with no noise of course, an activity that last like forever is ours. Event such as this should be peaceful not stuffed with irrelevant activities. that is why I'm extremely picky when it comes to romantic relationships or choosing a partner because she has to be the kind of person with similar perspective to mine.
