It is good when people break the norms and set their standards. This is what a Nigerian bride named Chioma did after she got married in a custom made Ankara dress. Of course her decision got Twitter talking about her unusual wedding dress.
Friends of the bride took to social media on Sunday to share photos from the ceremony.
My fellow Nnewi sister and badass Nigerian Fashion designer @Theonlychioma had her White wedding yesterday wearing this gorgeous custom made Ankara wedding dress. The creativity, boldness, and uniqueness of it all.
I love it!!!!
In her reaction, the bride said she resisted telling people her plans to wear Ankara for her wedding.
She said:
“I didn’t bother to tell anyone about it. It wasn’t even up for debate. I just told my friends not to wear Ankara. I’m sure if I had mentioned it to people, they truly would have tried to discourage me because human preferences are different.”
