GIVE TO CEASER WHAT BELONGS TO CEASER 5- BY DAVIES SEUN

The tent outside was already filled with a large number of guests. 

Guests travelled from home and abroad to participate in the event of the royal family.

The event commenced as the warm ambience embraced everyone who was present at the party.

During the event, the families of both the groom and the bride negotiated, and the bride price was paid as well. 

The ceremony got more interesting,  as the presentation of symbolic gifts was done using  kola nuts and palm wine,

After this,   "Items 7" like the owanbe people will say, was distributed around, leaving nobody out of it. 

Beautiful igbo music was played to celebrate the union and strengthen family bonds.  Ada presented her husband to her parents, family introduction, and prayers were done, and there after, the activity of exchanging gifts from family and friends was carried out too.

See who has finally found her, Mr. right, oo. One of the guests gossiped along side with her team.

"What a handsome man he is. I can not wait to find mine  soon,"the other said, flaunting her newly fixed long nails.

Looks so mature and responsible, too. 

I'm glad she's getting married to the man of her choice and not betrothed to a random stranger.  

It can't even be me.

I won't allow my parents to decide whom I want to settle down with. 

Another says, romancing her lace gown .

But mehn, the girl looks very young ooo, although she is over due for marriage. 

One of the neighbours soloquized.

At the closure of the event,  the sky suddenly turned grey, and the weather seemed upset as the breeze began to set everywhere off balance.

Trees swayed and bent, causing some of the rooftop of most houses in the community to fall. 

The heavy wind blew , 

made some of the guest questioning if they were safe or not.

Thunder storms grew in irregular patterns, the violent weather disturbed with strong grusty wind and howling sounds.

Everyone got  drenched by the heavy rain that followed the heavy storms. 

This is serious! 

One of the guests says. They all tried  to find their way out of the tent, running helter, and skelter.
