We all know Saturdays are for weddings parties mostly in Nigeria, last week Saturday I was invited to a wedding with an invitation card to come and celebrate with the latest couples in town.. I was excited because not only me was invited at my street but also others. So we booked a commercial bus that can convey all of us to the party. Although some of us couldn't make it to the church to witness couples say their vows, but we were all able to make it to the reception. On reaching there, the reception was looking so beautiful like the seventh Heaven and the bride was like an angel who came from heaven specially made for her groom. I must confess LOVE SWEET .
We took our sit according to how the guests names are on the tables. We happily sat down. And about 1hour passed and there was no refreshments given to the guest. On a normal, when you go for party, you should be given watwe or soft drinks first before serving food but this was the opposite. We kept waiting and some people started complaining why they haven't given out any refreshments or food to eat and it's getting out of time. Some babies are already crying because they were hungry and what their parents was expecting wasn't what they saw there. It got to 3:34pm in the evening and that was even they started sharing food. Now the most annoying part of it is that.. the couples actually paid 350,000 thousand naira to the chef to cook and satisfy their guests , but the chef messed up by disappointment the couples. As a chef, you are supposed to have your workers around you to support and perfect your jobs. But she got only two workers with her as a chef and that makes her performance so poor.
Some guest where already tired of waiting and they left while some other guest were grumbling waiting to get their food. I noticed that some of us are not happy at what was going on, especially the elderly woman among us wasn't happy and I noticed it, I went to the chef and asked for some food to share among us
On reaching to the chef, allot of plates were on the ground looking dirty and I walked up to her to give me food so that I can serve the people that we came together, the chef was n't paying attention to me but she was given attention to others.
I took a soft drinks to go, she screamed at me and that attracts the attention of other guest. She instruct me to drop what I took and that sound embarrassing. I dropped the drink and took my bag and I walked away looking unhappy. I couldn't wait for the bus to take me back home so I took another means of transportation back home.
Few minutes ago I saw others dropping from the bus grumbling talking about the wedding. Although before the wedding the groom mother who invited us to her son's wedding ceremony, we advised her to cook separately for the people She's inviting separately to the wedding. Thank God she did and when she got home, she package all the necessary gifts and food and sent it to everyone of us who attended her son's wedding ceremony and that makes everything looks perfect at the end..
Conclusion: it's always good to plan an event not to upset the guest that came to celebrate with you.. in terms of wedding, the people you shouldn't overlook at the wedding are
- the church members
- the street people you invited.
Thank you for passing by and read through .
