He wasn’t kissing their knees 😃. He was prostrating to shoe he’s asking/begging for their daughter’s hand in marriage. This is a tradition that humbles the man and makes him always remember he voluntarily begged that his wife be given to him.

He's not wearing it wrong 😂, he has to wear it that way and the wife comes to adjust it, it's part of the culture

[@theprincessaviela5475]

So a yoruba wedding is like a movie, so both family would have a representative to the other family. The wedding starts with the grooms family coming to ask for the brides family for her hand for their son. The bride family then welcome them in to the family. When the grooms dances in with his friends the first place he goes to is the the brides family and prostrate at their feet which was what he did in the video the brides representative then ask him if he is physically, financially, and spiritually fit to marry their daughter if he says yes then he is giving different exercises to prove that ( which are just fun things to make the ceremony lively). After that the brides family then pray over him and welcomes him into the family and he would sit at a corner and wait for his bride. When the brides dances in with her friends the first place she goes to is to her parents and family, the pray over her and prophesy into her life of a good marriage, children and good life then the brides representative then hand her over to the grooms representative and family and tell them to take care of her that as they are taking her from then whole( body spirit and soul) they should keep her that way the brides mother then hand her over to the grooms mother and father. The grooms parents and family then pray over her that as she is joining thier family she would be a blessing to then after which the grooms parent open her veil yo be sure the got the right bride( this is so that what happen jacob getting the wrong bride does not happen). After this she then goes to her husband. Its a long process i cant continue.

No one can explain any further than this. Kudos.

[@elyzartaylor5362]

It's a Yoruba wedding and yeah it gotta be lit....as always. Culture, tradition, styles, beauty, money, aso ebi. Owambe confirm!!!!

[@daringroses]

"They gotta show off their knees" 😅😅. Nah, it's a part of the Yoruba culture where the groom and the groomsmen pay their respects to the bride's family by postrating or bow while they go down low:)

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

😅 Makes sense now.. Love it!

[@OlayinkaOrila-ou5iw]

They also prostrate to ask for their daughters hands in marriage

[@gavedet]

In Yoruba culture, as a male you have to postrait to greet your elders... While the women kneel down to greet an elderly person... Even in your house, u have to greet your parents this way..

[@SL-pg4dh]

Every morning with your parents and when they go out and come back home.

[@TheChino087]

Igbo bows to NO ONE. Every Igbo can become royal so we don’t bow to any

[@ronj7658]

​@Chinonso Nnadozie so your kings don't even get a bow? What's the point of being king?

[@TheChino087]

@@ronj7658 we shake their hands with two hands to show symbolically that “their hands are heavy” as sign of respect and a head nod but not kneeling or bowing. You kneel to receive a “blessing “ from kings to be made a “king”. The “Kings” work for the ppl and not the other way around.

[@childrentoys4537]

​@@TheChino087To each his own. You guys bow to no one. We get it. You are all big men in your own rights😊. But for we Yorubas, it is important to us, as we recognise authority. We understand that all of us cannot be in thesame age, status, authority e.t.c. so we pay reverence or give honour to those above us knowing we will also get to that age, status e.t.c someday and receive the honour similarly.

[@marvellousigbineweka6830]

It's very likely might have seen the lady before, she is a compere ( an official weeding party coordinator). It's a real Job, like a make up artist and they don't come cheap

[@nmg1909]

When you go down on your knees is for respect and greetings. In this case, the groom is showing respect to the family of the bride and asking them for a woman of his life in their house to marry.

[@rxzepet5997]

Check out wedding in Igbo culture, quite different from the Yorubas somewhat

[@SL-pg4dh]

They did that first

[@dimegi1558]

Lovely video as always I’m proud of my culture aswell

[@simiajix4094]

nigerian weddings are shows with comedy food joy after party clubbing its a BIG VIBE

[@enitanh2734]

1:54 it will get hot later after all the dancing and moving but it's not heavy (not as you would think) 2:05 it's actually the same fabric as 1:54 that the bride and groom typically use and yes it's not cotton it's called 'ofi' and it has some structure to it so it holds it's shape. 3:51 she's reading the engagement letter brought from the husband family to ask for their daughter hands in marriage 6:47 (this hot me rolling in laughter) no they are not kissing anybody feet. In the Yoruba culture that is how male greets and but in this case he is greeting and begging them for their daughter hands in marriage 8:45 the bride parents praying for her before sending her off to her new family

[@oluwaseyiakinpelu5729]

Both of you might just be Yoruba ancestrally...

[@elyzartaylor5362]

Especially the wife.

[@rxzepet5997]

They are not kissing the bride's parents' feet, they are prostrating to show respect and to beg for their daughter's hand in marriage.

[@ani_ndokwa1244]

She was wearing him the hat, specifically showing he's now a married man.. Because when he came into the hall he was wearing the hat of a single young unmarried man.. So she has to dress him as a married man

[@allibabatunde22]

She was wearing a new cap on his head to signify that he is the head of the household and him also prostrating shows he needs to be humble to ask for her hands in marriage and continue being humble towards her through out the marriage.

[@oluwaseyiakinpelu5729]

They set it up in months though.... immediately after the bride Family pick the date

[@BlessingsonBlessings400]

I absolutely love your guys channel! ❤️

[@bamidelesh.7792]

In Yoruba traditional weddings it's normal for the groom and the groomsmen to prostrate to the bride's parents. The head tie the bride was wearing is called "gele". A female head of ceremony called "Alaga" is also a culture. The matching outfit worn by the bridesmaid and groomsmen is "Aso ebi" in the Yoruba culture. However, "Aso ebi" and "gele" have been adopted by other ethnic groups and tribes across Africa.

[@kikelomoerinle8168]

This is like an engagement in English culture. But in Yoruba culture, this stands as our traditional wedding.

[@adeboyesekinah4792]

He’s begging for the bride’s hands in marriage while prostrating

[@silverlamb5768]

On a wedding day, the couple and their family are royalty for thst day at least

[@osinbajosamuel9166]

It’s in our culture to respect our elderly and our seniors, so men pulstrate while women go their kneel to greet

[@maryjoannking8750]

The hat (called fela) the bride tilt the hat to the right to indicate he is now married. It’s a Yoruba culture 😊

[@cecezisty]

i hope you can react to introduction/Traditional wedding ceremony in Uganda or a Ugandan wedding. I love y'all. I am a Ugandan in the U.S.

[@iyaniwuraolaf.asuquo5026]

Lovely

[@thedonutlady]

In the Yoruba culture you some what “beg” for the bride so you show you are humble ,answer questions etc for her you have a member of the grooms family read a “love letter” then the brides family someone reads an “acceptance letter “ then the groom shows he can take care of her by dropping money several times nothing major Yoruba weddings are a lot but the best

[@Ephraimtech531]

Thats yoruba traditional wedding

[@oluwaseyiakinpelu5729]

They they have to prostrate to the family of the bride for them to bring out he's bride and pay something.....and he will show of how he can take care of the bride...

[@amatechnologyca4392]

You guys are the best 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@chimachima-dike7481]

Concerning the regal appearance, the groom will always want his friends and close relatives to be in his train. If anyone cannot afford the costly dress, those who have the means will make sure everyone on the train comes out looking rich. It's so much fun. I am igbo, but It's not totally out of place to say the yoruba tribe taught the rest of Nigeria some details of celebrations.

[@X-t31]

i like the last point you made there, wedding in general for us nigerians is a crazy fun event anywhere you go, but I think because us yoruba already have a predisposition for being the life of the party our weddings can be quite loud and ostentatious sometimes even unnecessarily expensive(make person dey collect loan do wedding🤣🤣) but one is certain in nigeria, saturdays are for parties and mad fun all around the country

[@chimachima-dike7481]

@X-t31 🤣🤣🤣 As Naija be now, I don't think anybody will collect loan again for faaji.

[@destinymoni66]

[@OlayinkaOrila-ou5iw]

The bride's parents will pray for her. And the woman anchoring the wedding ceremony is a professional and that's her job/buisness.

[@doruconstantin3469]

That is beautiful, but to modern...in may opinion, the Masai it is the most traditional wedding in Africa...

[@BB-ji3bb]

It's not your fault that our culture is what's in vogue, it's not too modern

[@blaqben3877]

The lying down is called prostrate nd the groom was asked if imhe begging to marry her nd he replied yes he is begging

[@kayodeakinyemi708]

Point of correction they don't kiss the brudes family feet this is what we call prostration in yoruba culture we greet our elders like that and in occasions like thus the groom greet the brides parents as a show of respect seeking to marry their daughter

[@themiddleground3144]

That's why I don't agree with people who say that marriage is not an achievement. Tell me which other achievement in life is this celebrated?

[@peacelumsam7468]

They don't kiss their feet They lay on the ground as a form of respect
