    The Ayie is actually somewhat similar to the 'Lobola negotiations' proceedings in South Africa. When the family of the groom come to the brides house, they too would have to identify their bride. If they misidentify the bride, a penalty has to be paid. It just goes to show how similar we are as Africans. Cannot wait for more!!!! 😊

    I love how you guys stayed true to your culture. The ayie is similar to the zambian tradition when the man goes to the woman's family to say he has spotted "a flower" 🤣🤣 the wrapping bit is done then and at the kitchen party. I love seeing black British people keeping their heritage and culture alive! 💝💝💝

Lydia we do not deserve this but thank you so much in advance for letting us in to something sacred and what I imagine will be insightful, transparent like the Reno videos and a Beautiful series. May your marriage be forever blessed with joy, contentment and Love...signed a random on the innanet 😅

    Yelling🗣CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!🎶🥂🍾 I can’t believe how quickly the BIG day is approaching. All I can do is cheese. I was smiling so hard that my jaws hurt. Man, you both deserve this blessing of happiness. Watching you talk about him and your family in the same sentence gave BIG vibes.🥰 Your family is absolutely precious. Those ladies agreed to disown him should he choose the wrong bride. When he confidently said with authority “I know my Lydia,” we (the viewers) indoctrinate him all over again. He’s a keeper! The gentleman gave him serval chances to choose again. His answer, plain and clear “I know my Lydia.” That’s one ownership that hits totally differently. Undoing the dress to enjoy a snack, for sure is our Lydia. You wore that blue dress and made it your own. Shout out to the maker for creating such a work of art in four days. Kudos to you for it fitting to perfection. Great choices adopting professional help to ease the burdens and make your day as magical as the union. Hats off to him for partaking in even the smallest of details. He’s in it to win it for life. The arrangements are not just inclusive of the things you like but those things that are significant to him as well. Years later you can share each beautiful detail with you children, their children and their children’s children. Lydia, I’m so happy for you guys. May the work you do now be the same efforts established to maintain. Praying for nothing but jolly days, a mound of love and an endless ray of compassion. Until, next vlog...

    Wow the Ayie is so similar to the Lobola negotiations done in South Africa there are a few differences for example the groom is not allowed to be present whilst everything is taking place and the father and uncles of the bride are in charge not mom. Really cool to have learnt this about your culture Lydia !😀❤
