A newly-wed couple has gone viral on social media after they held their wedding over the weekend and didn’t have a reception.

Many church weddings in Nigeria are often accompanied by a reception to entertain and feed the guests. However, this couple identified as Augustus and Vivian, tied the knot in St. Dennis Catholic Church in Bariga on Saturday, February 8 without a reception.

After the Church wedding, they cut their cake and shared souvenirs and food to everyone that attended.

A priest shared this on Facebook, he wrote;

“Today’s wedding between Augustus and Vivian in St Denis Catholic Church Bariga was particularly different in a very cool and sweet way. The bride and groom were beautifully dressed. A friend of mine Edith Kush did the make up for the bride.

The wedding was done with the bride and the groom exchanging their vows to each other lovingly. That was the highpoint of the whole thing.

“The food and souvenir were beautifully packaged together and were distributed to all that came just immediately after the mass. They had the cutting of the cake just at the exit door of the church. No reception. No hall. No Mc. No DJ. No event planner. No aseobi. No bridal train. Just the essential.

Before 1pm everyone was already on their way home and to their other businesses, including the couple. On Sunday they will come for thanksgiving after having consummated the marriage without stress.”
