Getting married is a beautiful experience. And getting ready to live the rest of your life with the one you love is exhilarating. But because we Nigerians are the way we are getting married here is a pretty unique experience compared with the rest of the world.

I got married I didn’t get sent to jail now.
If you get married to a foreigner just brace yourself for all the jokes about you marrying for green card.
As if that’s not a valid reason for someone to marry. But it’s not us that told you.
The day after your wedding day everyone is going to start asking you when the kids will come.
As if children automatically come with marriage certificate.
You’ll spend a significant amount of your first year of marriage apologizing to people that didn’t get invited to the wedding when you run into them.

Living with the one you love will take some getting used to. And you’ll get annoyed very many times.

Nothing beats coming home to a warm body to cuddle with after a long day of work.
Anyone who tells you marriage is not sweet is lying to you.
Some of your in-laws will get on your nerves it’s unavoidable.

Some people will never let you forget you are married. They’ll even tell you that you are not acting married enough.
