Question

What is the dress code for the American Ceremony?

Answer

Semi-Formal/Garden Attire Wear. Note this event will be outside, so elegant sundresses, floral prints, or cocktail dresses for the ladies. As for the men, nice button downs and/or suit jackets are optional. In all, we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose. And of course, traditional Nigerian attire is welcomed.

Question

Are there really two weddings?

Answer

Yes! Blending of cultures is a beautiful thing. Corey Allan Birch is an Orlando native and Emediong Udoudo Umoh is Nigerian-American. Because of this, both cultures will be embraced with two celebrations — an intimate morning American wedding and an evening Nigerian ceremony. There will be two RSVPs for each celebration. Please be sure to return both by October 23.

Question

What should I expect at a Nigerian Wedding Ceremony?

Answer

In Nigeria, a wedding is much more than the celebration of joining the lives of two people into one. It is when two entire families join together as one and a Nigerian wedding is an all-out affair that is full of bright colors, toe-tapping music, spraying of money, and ancient traditions.
