2025年11月29号 - 传统婚礼

今天我去我们家朋友的传统婚礼。他们的女孩子要结婚。我妈结婚之前住在他们的家。虽然她身体不太舒服，但她还是去因为我妈尊重他们。

我们去时很迟到。只有被邀请的人可以进去的。我们的名字不在名单，所以他们不让我们进去的。因为这件事我爸离开聚会。后来新娘的母亲让我们进。

新浪是富二代。不对，应该是富三代。新娘是约鲁巴人，但新浪是伊博人。在这儿做传统婚礼时，我们得考虑新娘的名族。中国也是这样吗？

我今天才知道我们约鲁巴人的传统婚礼节目。他们会在拉各斯做教堂婚礼。拉各斯离这里很远，然后我会在学校。所以去不了了。幸亏我今天有机会去的。

Today I attended a family friend’s traditional wedding. Their daughter was getting married. Before my mom got married, she used to live in their house. Even though she wasn’t feeling well, she still went because she respects them.

We arrived very late. Only invited guests were allowed to enter. Our names weren’t on the list, so they didn’t let us in. As a result, my dad left the event. Later, the bride’s mother let us in.

The groom is a “rich second generation.” No, actually, he’s “rich third generation.” The bride is of Yoruba descent, but the groom is of Igbo descent. When we hold traditional weddings here, we usually hold the traditional weddings based on the bride's ethnic group. Is it the same in China?

Today was the first time I learned about Yoruba traditional wedding customs. They will have the church wedding in Lagos. Lagos is very far from here, and I’ll be in school then, so I won’t be able to go. I’m just glad I had the chance to attend today.
