Send me an email, I'd love to read from you sisi@sisiyemmie.com (FOR BUSINESS: business@sisiyemmie.com)
Location: Lagos, Nigeria (West Africa)
I'm a Nigerian Food and Lifestyle Blogger documenting bits of every other day in my life with my son, Tito and husband Bobo.
I saw alot of people wanted to know about this so I decided to help, maybe sisi yemmie will still respond though. so basically wedding introduction is a simple formal ceremony where the groom’s and bride's family members officially get to know one another. From what I can recall, some 10 years ago it used to be done in the living room mostly with just nuclear family and very close extended families in attendance and very good friends of the couple. The couples would wear similar clothing. Nowadays its much larger, friends and family even pick similar clothes(asoebi) to wear and event halls are used for the ceremony instead of the house.
Traditional wedding is the wedding proper, where the groom pays the bride price, takes the bride officially and she is welcome into the new family plus all the other rites, a much larger crowd is present and there's usually asoebi meaning almost everyone has the same materials for their clothes and headgear(gele). The white wedding is just a borrowed thing as a result of Christianity coming through the whites so we sorta adopted it. Here after being joined in a church building, there would be a wedding reception to entertain guests.
That being said its hungrying me to be part of a party planning😥. Its been long since any very close relative had a wedding, birthday party etc
Enjoyed the video 💜
That made me sad that Tito didn't remember Uncle Junior! They had such a special bond when Tito was a baby.
I fell the same. He was Titos favorite. Maybe Sisi should show Tito old videos of them 😢
patsy stewart me too. Where has uncle Junior been anyway!?
only the OG fans remember Uncle Junior!!!!
Yay uncle junior, it was a pleasure seeing him again. He played such a huge part in Tito’s early life
I got scared when I saw the title of this video, I taught it was uncle Junior that was getting married, I was just like ahhhh did uncle Junior left me to go and marry someone else, congratulations to the newly wedded couple May God bless you guys ❤️❤️ love you mama Tito
😂😂😂
Chai Uncle Junior's wives, we're plenty sha😭😓
Glad uncle Junior made an appearance😆..its been almost 2 years.
Who noticed that Sisi Yemmie ,her sister and mother are so so beautiful ❤
I did! Her mummy especially.
Not only beautiful but looks so much alike
Uncle Junior happy to see you
‘No ceserean operation’ I saw your eyes sisi yemmie! Lol! Wishing you a safe delivery girl
I'm so jealous. Lol. I'm a black American. Your culture is beautiful.
African American culture is beautiful also.
No need. Start to create a culture from what you love and what is beneficial to those around you. Before you realise it, you become a reference point too 😁
Hair Like God I too am Black American. I have followed her since Tito was a newborn.
@@tryempathy2day349 its not her culture lol and black americans already have their own culture lol
you have the opportunity to experience African culture by researching where you identify with the most and going to live there for say a year. You might love it and stay, changing the trajectory of your decendants. This world is so small now and one can travel and experience it. As a born and bred African living in Canada, I experience the best of both worlds and it honestly enhances your perspective on the world.
Good to see Uncle Jr. Such a beautiful occasion! The groom looks like he’s Yomi’s younger brother.
Thank you for sharing your life and culture. It is wonderful for me, an African American, to see. There is a little boy playing with a video game who looks exactly like my grandson to the extent that it was shocking 8:53 which further validates our connection across the waters. This vlog is beautiful. I plan to visit all the countries in my DNA and might be lucky to get a glimpse of you and your beautiful family in Nigeria!
Your culture is so rich and thriving...thank God for this. My ancestors were not allowed to practice their culture and traditions freely as a result of being taken away from the motherland and transported to the Caribbean. I enjoyed watching this video.
I was here thinking the same thing. It would be good if we had something like this in jamaica
Yes! I’m so happy for Sisi Yemenite and other Nigerians who share moments like this with the world! Thank you!
Congratulations to your sister, her marriage shall be blissful. I remember grandma 😁😁
Uncle Junior!!!! We have missed you! A Tito and Uncle Junior channel is a cute idea I would definitely subscribe to that. Looking good Sisi and a big congratulations to your sister
Everybody is fine but the bride snd groom look so perfect and the groom look like our daddy Tito,i wish them anniversaries forever.
See Uncle Junior oh , when my sis got married the Alaga taxed her husband's friends ehn . Grandma's prayers make me remember my hometown(Ekiti), God bless your sis Union in Jesus name . #adisawashere
Aw Uncle Junior he was part of the original line up and made your channel super interesting. Please let Tito know him it looked a little sad that he is no longer part of your little family. Best Wishes to your sister has she starts her own journey into matrimony
Lovely. I love to see the African culture. Love the traditional garmets. Too bad in Jamaica we never got to keep such majestic culture of getting married.
Awww Tito can't remember uncle Junior. Welcome o Uncle. So great to see you again!
Uncle Junior was a key figure in my being hooked to Sisi Yemmie's vlog. Lol! He was such a great help to Sisi after Tito was born and Bobo had to go abroad for a while. At Uncle Junior making it up to us, "yinmu!"
I remember when introduction was strictly between both families and limited to living room. They are even wearing "to match" I wonder what the engagement will be like, then wedding. Fine couple! Olorun a se won ni ore ara won oh! I didn't understand the significance of that term until after enduring the trials in marriage and seeing my husband standing gidigba behind me. Lol!
Did she call Yomi "lekpa shandi?"
Mummy and Daddy (Sisi Yemmie's parents) were doing looove! 💕
See Tito's old skool! Tito nor dey carry last oh! I so liked the video, I watched it twice!
Grandma aka "Iyemi!" She's so bubbly!
It's nice to see Uncle Junior again. Congratulations to your sister!! Your face when she said no c-section 😂 it was quick but I caught it.
I saw that too and chuckled! 😂
Same here, caught the look
You did your make up so well. Congratulations to your sister and the entire family.
Yeaah uncle junior. We've missed you!! Hope you are fine
Hello uncle Junior!!!!! 👏👏😁
I literally shouted uncle junior!!! We have missed you. Didn't you miss us?
Dear Sisi I want to complement you on your consistency and to let you know that you are recording history of present day Nigeria and showcasing our culture to the world. Well done for taking this bold step of self employment. If you have a little more time please add sub titles to events where Yoruba is spoken as you have a global audience who are getting an understanding of who we are with your videos. Well done
Awww how come Tito has forgotten his bestie Uncle Junior... I was just dancing while watching. I miss Nigeria 🤧🤧
I'm screaming.....It's Uncle Junior. We have missed you.
I love yoruba tradition. Love you sissy yemmie, God bless you and your family
Uncle Junior!! I've really missed you!
Sisi and Bobo can dance sha🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
When that alaga said "no caeserean operation" I remember your video on Nigerians misconception and stereotypes on the matter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way introductions r like engagement this days ehhhh sometimes idk which one they are doing. Congratulations sis's sister God will bless ur marriage in Jesus name.
Tolu O I am an American what’s the difference between the two?
Introduction is basically introducing both families and them asking for her hand in marriage, they bring gift to the brides family and a date of the wedding is chosen.
This was really nice! I simply love different African cultures 😊. Congratulations to both of them 😊
omg uncle junior ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Congratulations to our little sister oh. It was nice to see grandma in good spirit. Wishing your sister a happy marital bliss
We’ve missed you uncle junior!!! Congratulations to your sister Sisi ♥️
Great to see Uncle Junior again.Btw Sisi yemi's face when they said "no ceaserian operation" ehn.😂😂
Wow...i loved seeing this!! So much money!! I wish we have this tradition in America!!
Uncle Junior for president!! We miss you here man. Hope you are here to stay o
Can you do a video explaining to us, your American cousins, this introduction ceremony? I would live to learn more. Thank you! Congratulations to your sister! You have a beautiful family.
Please. It looks so interesting but I don't know what is happening!
Yes please
There are also African cousins who don't understand it either 😂
Normally introduction shouldn't be this elaborate but time has change alot of things..it's basically when the groom family comes to meet the bride' family, make their intention known then pick a date for the actual wedding. The women u see collecting money from the groom n his friends are like senior wives in d bride'family. Like their way of welcoming him or saying he can't just come like that n take a beautiful lady from their family without giving them something. Every other things is just formality, the main event is introducing the bride to d grooms family n vice versa.. hope u understand
Ah Uncle Jr went MIA for a while now let him send his info or Instagram for all the fine ladies waiting to marry him up. He is a special kind of dude and will make great hubby and dad. Congrats to your sister and her hubby, May God continue to bless them. Your family is growing for better changes, you all look so pretty in the blush pink ❤️😘🥰.
Awwww Uncle Junior. I get sad when kids don’t remember me 😂
Awww grandma's prayer made me smile.. congrats to your sis
Also, happy to see Uncle Junior! I've been wondering about him myself.
My heart lit up seeing uncle Junior after all these years. Congratulations once again to the whole family on the introduction of your sister.

Hello, greetings to all! Beautiful Yoruba wedding!. I have a question, can someone please educate me on, if it's common for children to refer and or/address their Father's, or Mother's siblings as Uncle, or Aunt. Or can they also be addressed as Nephew and or/ Niece? I heard that you can use both titles, for either relative.
Thank you, and God bless🙏🏼💖
I am so happy to see Uncle Junior, such a handsome man ☺️
Wowwww so beautiful... I kept smiling and laughing.. God bless y'all..
Congratulations to the whole family Sisi Yemmie
Aaawww! Good to see uncle junior. We miss him on this channel o. Y'all look nice.
This your sister's introduction seems more like engagement/traditional wedding to me sha 😃. And your make up game has been fire lately. You looked amazing.
Sisi is getting better with this makeup thing... kudos mama 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
