Introduction & Engagement

In the Yoruba culture of Nigeria, West Africa, there is a ceremony and celebration we call an "Engagement".
This takes place after the couple's relatives have already met, introduced one another, and the lady's family has agreed to the gentleman's marriage proposal (This process is called an Introduction). The engagement is also known as the traditional marriage ceremony...
Most women of the Yoruba culture look forward to their engagement ceremony...the beautiful beads, laces, and their GELE, lol, and make-up of course!
Below is a picture of a beautiful bride during her engaement..gele & make-up done by, yours truly :)
