A UK-based Nigerian woman, Abidemi Ariyo, has stirred reactions after beautifully transforming her modest living room into a charming venue for her civil wedding ceremony.
In a video that has since gone viral, Abidemi showcased her resourcefulness by repurposing her home space into a mini reception hall.
The clip began with a glimpse of her living room in its regular state, featuring standard couches and a centre table, all of which she cleared out to make space for the event.
Even though her decoration was minimal, the transformation created a warm and intimate atmosphere for the occasion.
Her family and close friends gathered to witness the civil wedding, creating a heartfelt and memorable scene within the humble setting.
Social media users have flooded her comment section with congratulatory messages, praising her for turning a modest space into something extraordinary.
Amidst the sweet messages, a TikTok user took to her comment section to ridicule the bride for marrying a poor man who couldn’t afford to pay for a hall.
“I am not pained I want you to open your eyes. This is your big day. Why are you marrying a poor man. Your village aunties have won,” the critic wrote.
The critic, zarahzarah56 continued, “Does your husband not have money for a hall? Make sure you never divorce him o! Til death.”
In response, the bride posted a photo of herself and her husband, captioning it, “Enjoying my poor man.”
