Destination wedding are gaining in popularity in Nigeria. I’m not sure why destination weddings are popular in other parts of the world but in Nigeria, I think a big part of it is that Nigerians love to show off. Nigerians love the biggest, the most wanted and the most expensive. Destination weddings fit right into the Nigerian ‘personality’. A destination wedding (outside the country, obviously) says several things at once:
- I am unique (or at least, more unique than you)
- I have lots of money and
- This party is for a select few and you are not one of them.
Popular choices for destination weddings at the moment include The Gambia and Dubai . Extra points of course go to weddings held outside Africa. If you pay the airfare for all your guests, you have practically won the game.
