Most men find it meeting the bride’s parents for the first time or for the marriage introduction to be very intimidating and nerve-racking. Many men are terrified of the idea of marriage introduction for fear of ‘how do I go about it the right way?’.
Hearing stories from other grooms on how they did it can help boost your morale and confidence. That’s what this post will do for you. Also, get to hear how featured brides told their parents about their fiance.
Imagine if someone who has been there, done that, gave you a manual or ‘expo’ into how he planned his Nigerian marriage introduction – so that you know exactly what to do, what to avoid and what to not-miss-to-do?
That’s what this series is all about – to show you other men sharing their marriage introduction planning stories.
This post is part of a series to help boost the confidence (and morale) of grooms who are preparing to take this journey, and also give them an insight into how someone else did it.
