Meanwhile, according to Riverbrides, the bride's attitude of not smiling is a tradition among the Ijaw.

The post reads

"If “understanding the assignment” was a bride. The groom and his friends went from spraying & spraying to smiling, laughing and even begging but the bride did not budge. I’m sure she has been waiting all her life to do this tradition on her wedding day. For those who don’t know, this is an Ijaw tradition where the bride doesn’t smile till she’s satisfied with the amount of money sprayed by the groom, his family and friends."
