Question
Can we bring physical gifts?

We prefer any gifts to be facilitated through the website, on the Registry page. We are leaving immediately after the wedding for international travel and will have a difficult time getting physical items back to the east coast.

Question
What is money “spraying”?
Answer
For those not familiar, money spraying is a meaningful Nigerian wedding tradition in which guests shower the bride and groom with cash as they dance, symbolizing blessings, prosperity, and communal support for their new life together. Rooted in celebration and generosity, the custom creates an energetic, joyful atmosphere while serving as a tangible way for loved ones to honor and contribute to the couple’s future. Guests are warmly encouraged, but not required, to participate by bringing dollar bills and joining in the tradition at the time indicated by the emcee.
