Top Nigerian
music artiste and actor, Banky W, took to his IG page to address those
shading him and having side talks because of his previous comments on
not being in support of elaborate weddings.
He wrote;
I
can see how people may want to shade me for my previous comments about
disliking elaborate weddings. Probably seems hypocritical. But, truth be
told, I am still not a fan of huge weddings… and if we had OUR way,
our wedding would have been as quiet and small as possible. If u recall,
y’all didn’t hear we were engaged until 3 or 4 months afterwards.
But
we quickly learnt that marriage is not just the joining of two
people… It’s the joining of two families. And both families (parents
especially) come with their own requests, desires and demands. And
because your parents have loved, cared and sacrificed for you all your
life, you kinda don’t have a choice but to give in.. because it’s their
day too, and their happiness is priority to you. The key is just trying
to maintain some sanity while being pulled in many directions, and
trying to make sure it is special for you and your spouse despite not
exactly having your way.
You only get to do it once
(hopefully) so you gotta try to still be happy and make it memorable for
yourselves. Good news is, after the wedding, you get to live the rest
of your life exactly how you want. Which is what we plan to do, by God’s
grace. Not that I owe anyone an explanation, but I felt like speaking
up about this. Cheers and God bless everyone.
