Gosh, I so feel you on this! I've only ever been to ONE wedding in my whole life. I hâte going for concerts as well but I think nothing of going to à bar or restaurant unaccompanied.

Funny i used to really like attending weddings and birthdays and whatever, just invite me i'll be there :D

Marriage and the boys have slowed me down a bit not though, sometimes just the thought of the boys yelling in the car on the way to the venue, just makes me change my mind LOL

I feel you. I used to work for a church that held weddings. And I had to attend all of them. And I hated going. But I think it was because I had to buy a gift for everyone knowing that they would never buy me a gift (or even be in my life) when I got married. True to form...they didnt. But in a single year I went to like 30 weddings..it was ridiculous. But the jealousy of their feigned happiness was part of it for me too...The grass being greener scenario. Dont miss anymore weddings..go and in full confidence show everyone you are happy being YOU! Consequently, I still help plan weddings now by the way...isnt life funny?!

Sometimes those occassions can be a real waste of time and an opportunity for people who would otherwise not have the chance, to poke their long noses into your life.

I have found that the trick to handling weddings is timing. Arrive just in time to say hello to the people that matter, and make a quick escape. Maximum time spent: 30 minutes.

Aproko aunties and uncles and friends also. I used to avoid parties alot except maybe those of families. This year alone I have missed alot of them and I am happy that I am not in town to have give a reason for not attending.

Weddings. The special prayers for single people. The judging eyes when you don't get up for bouquet throwing. The aso-ebi investments (I'm so outta that loop and No I don't intend to foist aso-ebi on my friends). The fact that if you've attended one wedding you've seen it all. Inspite of that, I still love weddings.

The aproko aspect was one reason I avoid events that are sure to have loads of Nigerians, and weddings are sure to. But once in a while is good, especially if the celebrant is a good friend.

I can totally understand why you've avoided them. Nigerian weddings (at least the ones I've been to) have a carnival feel about them. Some enjoy it some don't. I have to say I don't.
