It is Grooms that now do the ‘crying’ at Nigerian weddings (Photos)

People cry at weddings.

Not everyone cries, but the mother of the bride often will. The father may very well feel sad even though he does not cry. It is all very well to say that they are not losing a daughter, they are gaining a son. But the fact is, they are losing a daughter.

We have seen brides cry at weddings

#WeddingInNigeria #tosweddings @rhphotoarts – There is a moment in everyone's life where a new chapter begins and the anticipation of that new beginning can be emotional. I can only imagine what Valerie was feeling as Ikem placed the ring on her finger, and a new chapter began in their lives. Planned by the profecient team of @masterplanevents Goodmorning 🙌🙋

However, it is starting to become a trend for Nigerian Grooms to cry!

#WeddingInNigeria it is like it is starting to become a trend for grooms to cry at weddings >>> from @kevinobosi A classic “Jodeci Moment” when Davidson could NOT contain his emotions after a few seconds of seeing sweetheart and wife to-be: Sandra at the alter. “Tuff Guy” Davidson had “boasted” to me a few hours in front of his buddies before we left his apartment when I asked him if he ever gets emotional: “Kev..Naaa..I don’t EVER show my emotions am tuff” Hahaha..Dave pictures don’t lie eh..😁😁

And this one

I remember this moment like it happened yesterday. I knew my life was about to change. As she walked down the aisle all the emotions hit me at once.. joy, happiness, excitment, am i ready?..lol. Most importantly i realized how lucky i was to have found my true friend and partner. Marriage is definitely not easy but with God and you by my side its a piece of cake. I pray the lord grants us many more years of happiness. Happy 7th year wedding anniversary to my wonderful wife and mom to our two kids @titispassion . Love ya. #7thyearweddinganniversary #7thyear

One of my all time favorite “first look”. The groom was trying to hold back the tears as he heard his soon to be wife’s footsteps and dress approaching behind him! The sweetest most intimate moment and they were able to enjoy it just the two of them. #embassysuites #cranesroost #firstlook #smpweddings #shesaidyes #love #romantic #wideopenspaces #willyoumarryme #theweddingscoop #theirlovestory #theknot #stylemepretty #orlandophotographer #weddingmemories #weddingscoop #weddingsonpoint #cryinggroom #tearsofjoy #weddingday #weddingphotographer #landonhendrickphotography #weddingwire #thebridestory #groom #emotionsrunninghigh #realmencry
