Marriages, Parents & Their Religious Obsession

(Chioma Nnani)--How Can You Love Your Religion More Than Your Child?
Wedding ceremonies have a tendency to be stressful.
Oh-so-many decisions to be made.
Cake. Five-tier or a single cake? Vanilla or red devil? Butter icing or whatever else there is?
Food. Mediterranean or Chinese? Sit-down or buffet?
Wedding gown. Designer or high street? Blinding white or pale pink?
Guest list. Does ‘small’ mean 200 or 1200? Does my father’s distant cousin have to attend?
Seating arrangements to cater to warring family members.
Breathing exercises … and remembering that killing family members is still classed as a crime.
Venue. Beach front or church?
How much of the groom’s wishes to ignore (all he has to do is fork out cash on demand and show up on the day, right?)
Budget. Yes, you want a Siberian tiger, but your bank account is looking more like house-cat that purrs. If you want more excitement, hope that an alley-cat screeches in.
Like I said before – stressful!
