Couple trend after they held their wedding in Lagos without having a reception

A couple is trending on Facebook after they held their wedding over the weekend and didn’t have a reception afterwards.

The couple, whose names were simply given as Augustus and Vivian, got
married in St. Dennis Catholic Church in Bariga on Saturday, February
8.

After exchanging their vows in the church, the couple distributed a
package to everyone after Mass and they cut their cake at the exit door
of the church and everyone took a piece and went home.

There were no friends wearing ashoebi, there were no bridesmaids or
men in suit, it was just the couple in their wedding outfits and their
guests wearing whatever they wanted.

After Mass, everyone went home before 1pm.

A priest shared their photos on Facebook, writing: “Today’s wedding
between Augustus and Vivian in St Denis Catholic Church Bariga was
particularly different in a very cool and sweet way. The bride and groom
were beautifully dressed. A friend of mine Edith Kush did the make up
for the bride. The wedding was done with the bride and the groom
exchanging their vows to each other lovingly. That was the highpoint of
the whole thing.

“The food and souvenir were beautifully packaged together and were
distributed to all that came just immediately after the mass. They had
the cutting of the cake just at the exit door of the church. No
reception. No hall. No Mc. No DJ. No event planner. No aseobi. No bridal
train. Just the essential. Before 1pm everyone was already on their way
home and to their other businesses, including the couple. On Sunday
they will come for thanksgiving after having consummated the marriage
without stress.”
