Looks like a lot of Nigerians would rather get married the traditional way other than following the normal western trend. More people are showing up these days in churches in outfits other than the bride in a white dress and the groom in a suit.

The photo of a couple shared by Gossipmillnaija on Instagram who decided to get married in the church wearing traditional Igbo attire has generated mixed reactions from Nigerians.
