The Evergreen

Tradition is the heart of any Community and to be sincere, there is no Community without a tradition. The only means of making a successful married life is when you obey traditional roles. It is said in the Bible that the only accepted form of marriage is traditional.

When I was a child, I always dreamt of having only traditional marriage instead of a white wedding. It is what I preferred and what I have asked God for. Sometimes God can answer one's prayer when you go in prayer. I have always prayed to God to fulfill my dreams.

My husband came in as a king in my life and proposed to me. The very first thing he told me was that "I don't want to embark on something that can bring lots of people together. I think traditionally having our marriage is the best.

It was just as if he was in my mind. This was the kind of man I was looking for and I so cherished his first attempt at our marriage plan.

Our traditional marriage was awesome and something I was not expecting. He was not having enough, but he dropped enough money to cater to those who were invited.

My husband bought me a traditional attire that matched up with his. This made us unique. My sisters and brothers as well as his sow the same kind of outfit. This is a tradition we must follow without stress and complaining.

There was something so fun about what he did when the traditional men came out to give us the marriage certificate. They were demanding too much and so he voiced out and shouted at them to stop extorting him. He shouted so loudly that everyone was surprised. Indeed the way they were collecting money was not called for.

After all, the said and done, we happily concluded the wedding.

Many people as well as those who were not invited came over to the ceremony. Everyone present is drinking. It was a successful traditional marriage.

He planned it so well and made it sudden. We knew each other not more than three months before we got married. He was a loving and caring type. The one who does not want to see me in pain without rendering a helping hand. I can bet you that ever since we did our traditional marriage, he has always listened to my words and has always obeyed anything I tell him.

It was a fulfilling marriage as I have been enjoying it without stress.
