According to reports, the second phase of an Igbo wedding is the Umunna rites. This is a meeting between the groom’s family and the bride’s extended family.
During the meeting, the groom’s people would restate their interest in marrying from the bride-to-be’s family, in the presence of her Umunna (direct and extended family, with family elders).
Once consent has been secured, dates for the traditional wedding will be set and the bride price list will be sent out.
The groom would take a few gifts such as kola nuts, palm wine, beer, soft drinks, tobacco, snuff, and a goat which would be shared between the groom and bride’s family.
Meanwhile, the secret traditional wedding was held on November 6, following the loss of their son, Ifeanyi.
