Question

Are you registered

Answer

Yes, we are registered but cash gifts are welcomed as well. Money spraying is a vibrant Yoruba cultural practice that dates back to the early 20th century, originating as a way to show appreciation, support, and blessings for celebrants during joyous occasions, including weddings. Guests throw or pin money onto the bride and groom, particularly during dances, as a symbolic gesture of prosperity, abundance, and communal support. Over time, this tradition has evolved, using crisp notes, decorative money envelopes, or creative cashless methods, reflecting both wealth and generosity while maintaining a lively celebratory atmosphere. In keeping with Yoruba tradition, guests may choose to participate in the celebratory spraying of money during the couple’s dances. This joyous custom symbolizes blessings, prosperity, and support for the newlyweds. Guests can bring small-denomination bills ($1, $5, $10, $20) suitable for spraying. Change will be provided if needed. All guests, whether Yoruba or not, are warmly welcome to join, following the guidance of our MC and designated helpers for a safe and festive experience.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

There is no formal dress code for our celebration — come as you feel comfortable and fabulous!

Wearing it is completely optional, but we'd love to see you shine in our wedding colors if you'd like to participate.
