A Nigerian couple has sparked reactions online after choosing to wear their traditional attire to church on their wedding day instead of a custom white gown and tuxedo.
The bride looked stunning in a white traditional dress, and her husband perfectly complemented her in the classic Igbo attire known for its bold lion prints while holding a traditional hand fan made of animal skin.
In the video trending online, the couple is seen dancing to the altar while church members watch and cheer. The moment ended with the couple sharing a heartfelt kiss at the altar.
Many online have sent congratulatory messages and praised the couple for embracing their culture, while others were not so impressed by their outfit.
Below are some comments;
