This is what you need to do:
1. Appease the extended family
You can’t have a stress-free Nigerian wedding if you haven’t paid your dues by making sure that your relatives and that of your spouse are satisfied. They will make some outrageous demands, just be ready to dance to their tune. These people can frustrate you if you’re not tactful.
2. Let there be plenty of food
Food is one way to get into our hearts as Nigerians. “Food don finish“ is probably the worst thing that could happen at your wedding, so make sure the food is plentiful. Make sure that the people in charge of the food start serving it as early as possible, you don’t want grumbling wedding guests.

3. Your DJ should be fire
There’s nothing worse than a boring wedding, and that’s where your DJ comes in. He should know all the popular banging songs and play them back to back. Your guests won’t stop dancing.
