One of the many reasons we love traditional weddings is because of how they beautifully showcase culture in unique ways.

If you’ve never been to an Ijaw wedding, this video will give you a glimpse of what to expect. They have this age-long tradition which demands that the bride holds back her smile while the groom and his family shower her with cash. She is only allowed to smile when she’s satisfied. The bride’s struggle to maintain a frown is so adorable, and the excitement from the crowd when she finally does smile is absolutely contagious. Let us know, how long can you hold a frown for? 😅
