IK Osakioduwa Speaks To Intending Couples On This Matter
Planning for a wedding is a big deal. It’s a big deal because many couples want to leave a ‘show-stopper’ statement after their party, even when some of them obviously do not have the wherewithal to have that dream wedding they desire.
Nigerian radio and television on-air personality, Ikponmwosa Osakioduwa, who was known to many as “Wildchild” until he got married. With marriage came a new alias for him. He is now simply known as IK.
The 39-year-old dad-of-2, who will be celebrating his 10th wedding anniversary with wife in two months, has some advice for intending couple.
According to the OAP, it is more important to have a honeymoon than a huge wedding reception, as that is the only time you would get to spend with your better half before the kids come.
”Hey Peeps, some random#CoupleStuff. I think it’s important for people to start paying more attention to planning for a honeymoon. It’s soooooo important.
You may not get the time for trips with your spouse for a while. Kids could show up at anytime (even when you’re trying to wait). I’d say it’s even more important than having a HUGE wedding reception.
Actively save and plan to have a honeymoon. I know many people now go without one and they say it is because of cost. No, you can go anywhere. Go to Ibadan, Calabar, Yankari games reserve.
Just go somewhere and have a honeymoon. Escape from the craziness. What does a honeymoon do for you? It takes you away from all the busy-ness of your lifestyle.
Give this person a chance to relate with you and know you intimately. So before the pre-wedding photo shoots and dinner and the expensive trips people seem to have these days, decide to have a honeymoon.
I would say it is more important than your wedding reception itself,” he said in a recent video he shared online.
His post was received with a lot of reactions as many people agreed with the points he made, some even went further to share their own experiences.
