Huhm, ok. Personally, I do not think our weddings should be limited to just the couples own culture. I agree that our attires, languages and all that shows or reflects our culture carries very deep meaning, and there's nothing bad when our weddings reflect it, but Nigeria is a mixed country and so far our weddings aren't just one culture/tribe based based and we marry one another, then our expressions shouldn't be limited too. Culture should be preserved, I agree with that but we can't force a certain thing in the couples, if they want it mixed, fine and good and if they want to stay fully traditional, then so be it.

Also, talking of mixing other tribes customes or attires, personally I see nothing wrong with that, to me it's more of love and appreciation than erasure. But I will love to add that it's depends on how it is used, each culture, tribes and their attires deserves respect. So, as long as you give honour to the owner and respects them, you're good to go. Nigeria is one big family, and it's just one of the ways in which we can show love and unity amidst ourselves. So, to me it does not in any way erase the original identity, meaning or ownership.
