IMG-20151006-WA0077-1Olu and I had our family introduction early this month.  I posted few pictures on Instagram with the hashtag #IntroducingTheKundys.  Introduction in my culture is when the groom’s family officially introduces themselves to the bride’s family, and asks for their daughter’s hand in marriage to their son.  The ceremony was done at my parent’s house with few of our closest friends and families. DSC_1181 The 2 women on the left side are the alaga iduros- Olu’s family spokespeople and the woman on the right is the alaga ijoko- my family’s spokesperson.  The alaga iduros are telling the alaga ijoko that they are here to see my parents.DSC_1182Our spokesperson is here informing my parents that we have guests from Ondo state, Olu’s hometown.DSC_1195After Olu’s family dances in.

DSC_2227Olu and his friends has to greet my parents the traditional way, in our culture this is how men greet the adults?DSC_2234Even though Olu and my sister are friends, traditionally he has to greet her by prostrating.  The same applies to every member of my family.  First he greets my parents, aunties, uncles then my big sister and her husband. DSC_1258After the introduction between both families, I was finally ushered in by my friends and my family’s spokesperson led us in.  This is me dancing in with friends. The rest are still dancing in from upstairs (lol).DSC_2260I was being introduced to Olu’s family.  The woman representing my family is speaking on my behalf and saying things that makes me qualified to be a good wife.  DSC_2263Time to hug my parents and thank them for how they’ve always taken care of me.
