I was weak
WTF??? Don't get me wrong I am totally happy for her, in fact I suspect I might get asked to be maid of honour (the last time she was supposed to get married I was asked) My shock is the fact that as close as we are (maybe I'm deluding myself about the strength of our friendship) I had never heard of XXX. What a dubious honour …I’ll be at your back at the altar trying to crane my neck to see her husband’s face cos I aint met the bruvver before.
Why is everyone being so secretive, or am I just naive?? I have another friend who is doing the same thing. This time we all know her boyfriend, but the only reason why I know she is getting married/ has gotten engaged is because her mum and my mum are friends and her mum told my mum in excitement. It’s been 6 months now and I’m still waiting for her to share the news (I decided to keep schtum about it because I’m learning more about people everyday and would rather she told me herself when she is ready instead of accosting her saying ‘so I hear you got engaged’).
Also was invited to a wedding 2 weeks ago where the maid of honour who called to sort out the aso ebi (wedding outfit) couldn’t give me the low down on our friend’s man because she hadn’t known anything about him until she got asked to be maid of honour.
My precious sisters I will love you and support you regardless …I’m just perplexed what is the reason for the secrecy????

hehehehe...you are totally unmodern! on't you know that's the trend these days...LOL..just kiddin...na wah o! Us girls are a funny bunch sha...nice post...
If I'm being totally fair, DD probably did that cos of a past disappointment...but still now ...its kind of hard whipping up excitement about a wedding when you have never heard of the guy. I'm trying sha ...by the time the ceremeony comes round I'm sure I'll have come round to the idea.
Others keep theirs secret errr maybe cos they think some one is gonna voodoo their husband off them. U know its hard enough finding a brother who will commit these days so they do gotta keep em under wraps LOL
Unmordern, its called 'AIYE'. World People!
Am sure those girlfriends of yours have experienced aiye in one way or the other.
They are just being wiser.
Some women like to keep their business private till they are sure it is going somewhere. u know.

I hear you. One of my aunties once heard me gushing on the phone to a female friend about how fantastic the guy I was dating was (dude was v romantic and was always pulling stunts) she basically warned me ..."if you want to talk about your boyfirend talk to your sister ,....your friends don't need to know whether he is nice or not".
Ok I can see the logic ...the way the world is ...it often pays to keep your own counsel...and I have learnt to do this. But abeg not up to the point where no one even knows you are dating or that the man exists until you announce you are getting married.
Don't take it personal dear..thats all I gotta say..Just respect her decision and privacy.

I was just hurt at first ...but 1 week later I respect her decision not to share ...and there are no hard feelings
