The Best Kept Planning Secret

Posted November 2, 2009 10:06pm

I read a lot of articles that start with ‘It’s wedding season again!’ and it makes me wonder what time of the year the writer is referring to. I actually think that as much as we try to promote equality of status in Nigeria, or in the world at large, we subconsciously think of wedding season as the time around the more extravagant weddings that we’ve read about in Ovation or on Sugar! Weddings. The longer the ‘celebration week’ and the bigger the pageantry of the ceremonies we observe, the more sense it makes to call it wedding season. True or False?

Sunshades and I have a relationship in the style of a one-night stand. All plans to accommodate one have been perished as I am promised to a pair of Grita-framed lenses, by prescription. However, I do have a five-stud card trick to ace that wade in the shades.

Marry Me. Always

I stumbled upon these rings by Yoon Jungyun from South Korea that have inner letters which leave an imprint on your finger (you know how rings you've worn for a long time leave a mark on your finger? Same effect, only this time your finger is marked with a message). The engagement ring says "Marry Me" on the inside, while the wedding band says "Always". How creative is that?

Wedding Diaries: Meet the 'Fockers'

So Demola met my mum…its time to meet the Fockers…uhm hmm, I'm doing the movie titles again, lol. This is sort a contrast though or is it an oxymoron, because my meeting Demola’s Mum was nothing like ‘Meeting the Fockers’…absolutely nothing like it.

What Men Want, Really!

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus…even though I haven't read this John Gray's New York Times bestseller, I have seen Mel Gibson's movie "What Women Want". A healthy relationship takes two to tango and if we men can sit through a hundred and thirty minutes of a female-sensitivity proficiency test, women too could do with a few tips on meeting our needs. Here is our manifesto on figuring us out.
