The Venue

It was the perfect weather for the wedding, warm but not too hot, the sun would occasionally peek from behind the clouds. As anticipated, the church was beautiful. It was decorated with flowers, candles and string lights. A sweet melody of classical music was in the air, while everyone waited for the ceremony to begin.

The Ceremony

The music for the ceremony began as everyone looked up to the bride walking down the aisle. She looked like an angel. Her golden hair was tucked back in a bun with pearls around it. Her gown brushed the floor as she walked towards her husband to be. It was a beautiful ceremony, and coincidentally, Seyi caught the bouquet!

Dance Party

After the ceremony, everyone hit the dance floor. Seyi and her friends let their hair down and were having an amazing time. They even taught some dance moves to the guests. She could not remember the last time she laughed this much. She is always so caught up in work, she realized she needs to relax and go on vacation more often.

Shift In Atmosphere

By the end of the night, Seyi noticed the bride’s side of the family handing out envelopes to the guests. Seyi recalled the instructions on the website asking guests to only give money to the couple. But this seemed kind of pushy to her. Pushing envelopes in their guests’ hands to get them filled with cash, seemed impolite on the host’s part.

Out Of Cash

Seyi and her friend exchange uncomfortable glances, they were both thinking the same thing. They couldn’t find an ATM and now they didn’t have enough cash for the gift, which is why they were planning on sending out the gift after the wedding. But now, with this change of event, they both will have to give cash at this moment.

Shuffling For Bills

As one of the people handing out envelopes reached Seyi and her friend, the girls found themselves shuffling around in their purses for bills they could put in. They couldn’t collect much because they had to save up money to reach the airport, but apart from that, they put everything else in the envelope.
