Dear Sugar,

I just got engaged, and my wedding is about two months away. My fiance has been making plans to rent a space that is fit for our lives as a married couple. We've been searching for houses now, and we found some good ones, but I have been feigning a disgust.

Coming to Nigeria during the Yuletide season is something that everybody looks forward to. A lot of people “in the abroad” look forward to coming home and having the time of their lives in Nigeria during Christmas.

When it comes to honeymooning, people often opt for places such as Paris, Rome, Venice, the Caribbean, and other non-African destinations. However, this doesn’t have to be the case.

Some people say that Ghana and Nigeria are like siblings. They fight a lot over seemingly irrelevant things (like which country has the best Jollof) and on the surface, they may seem to dislike each other. But when you go beyond the surface, you find out that the opposite is the case and they do not hate each other at all. 

In fact, you do not even need a visa to travel from Nigeria to Ghana, and this makes Ghana a perfect place to travel to for your honeymoon as you don’t need to go through the hassle of getting a visa. 

Wedding traditions have evoked a ceremony that celebrates a union of two love birds, but where? A hall- small or large- in essence, an enclosed space. When people think of weddings, we think a big enclosed space with lots of food, and with twice as many people. 

However, there are other options asides an enclosed place. One of such is outdoor weddings, which have begun to be embraced by couples who are riding on the wings of a fresh perspective. 

Ethiopia is one of the most interesting countries in the whole world. For example, coffee originated from Ethiopia, it is one of two African countries that were never colonized, and it is home to a lot of beautiful and romantic destinations that are perfect for a romantic getaway for a newlywed couple. 

While these destinations are not as popular as the better-known locations like Maldives and BoraBora, it doesn’t mean that they are any less beautiful or romantic. Some excellent honeymoon destinations in Ethiopia include:

When it comes to planning for honeymoons, many couples rarely even think of having their honeymoon in Nigeria. On the rare occasion that they do think of having a honeymoon in Nigeria, they only think of hyped places, especially Lagos and Abuja.

If you are planning to have your honeymoon in Nigeria, you don’t have to limit yourself to Lagos and Abuja alone as there are several places all around the country where you can have a wonderful honeymoon. One such overlooked place is Port Harcourt, Rivers State. 

A large portion of vacation enthusiasts around the world is formed by married couples, nuclear families, and close to the top of the list, newly-weds.

Of course, there is a fancy word for their type of vacation- the honeymoon. Beyond being a fancy word, it is an endearing ritual that many, if not all, newly-weds look forward to. 

In the annals of wedding traditions, the best man’s speech sits at a comfortable spot at the top, or at the very least, mighty close to it. Over the years, and as wedding traditions are growing into a technicolour display of love and the celebration of it, the best man’s speech has evolved into one of the most eagerly awaited parts of a typical wedding.

The maid of honour plays a very important role in the wedding party. She is usually the bride’s sister or her closest female friend. 

That being said, being a maid of honour is as tasking as it is exciting. There are lots of duties and tasks to take care of both before the wedding and at the wedding.
