"The band is usually ethnic but combines contemporary popular songs blending with both English renditions, Yoruba native tongue, and talking drums. The most popular music genres played at such traditional marriages are juju music, afro juju music, high life music, gospel music, hip hop, and current Nigerian sounds".

The Cake and Entertainment
The entertainment might consist of a celebrity master of ceremony who could be a member of the family or a professional. He or she is different from the traditional female masters of ceremony on the groom and bride's sides. This master of ceremony coordinates the entertainment by introducing the live band or disc jockey, and adheres to the prearranged program. The marriage has been contracted and all that is left is to dance, feast, and make merry.

The engagement is an integral part of the traditional marriage. As the ceremony proceeds, items listed for the engagement are presented. The items vary slightly in each Yoruba traditional wedding, but the general articles are the same.
A bag of sugar
A bag of rice
Alligator pepper
A large number of bitter kola
A bag of salt
Kola nut
If Christian, a bible
A keg of honey
About forty large tubers of yam
Non edible items could include expensive materials like lace, several pairs of shoes, a wristwatch, a gold engagement ring, and a head tie.

Whoever got beaten by rain but was not struck by lightning should be thankful.

Attitude of gratitide is it; remain thankful in every situation: things could have been worse.

The Bride and Groom
Some of the engagement protocols officiated by the Alaga ijoko are carried out in the absence of the groom. The professionals go through a question and answer format, where the bride's moderator puts the representatives of the groom through some hoops. At one point the groom’s presence is needed and he comes forward to be introduced to the bride’s family and parents.
When all requirements are met, the groom is allowed to sit in one of the two large chairs conspicuously placed in from of the guests. The chairs are artfully decorated in the ceremonial colors chosen by the wedding planner.
The bride is then heralded into the hall, followed by her friends and bridesmaids. This is another example of similarity with western culture, the difference being that the ladies wear ethnic outfits like buba and IRO and join in a boisterous dance down the hall. The bride also goes through a few protocols, but money is only given to her and not taken, as in the case of the groom.
She is introduced to the groom’s family and assumes her place beside the groom. At this stage they may consider themselves married. The wife feeds the groom some cake and wine and even gives him a kiss, to the amusement of the guests.

Traditional Clothing
The bride's outfit is a reflection of what the female guests will wear. She might choose damask, lace, Nigerian wax fabric, or any fabric that appeals to her. The outfit consists of gale which is the head tie, the buba tank top, and an IRO, which is a large, ankle-length piece of material tied round her waist.
The colors she chooses reflects the color theme her family has chosen but should also complement the groom's outfit and look identical. She can wear accessories like gold chains, beads, bangles, gold earrings, and shoes to match. Her face would have gone through a beauty regime with professional makeup artists, hair stylists, and color coordinators.
The groom could decide to wear an Agbada, which is a two-layered piece of material of heavy dimensions like the aso oke. It might be cotton and damask or he might wear lace, wax fabric (Ankara). The color combination should complement the bride's and reflect the color his family has chosen.

THE CEREMONY/PROGRAMME:
Here Comes the Groom
The Yoruba traditional wedding ceremony usually kicks of with the bride’s family seated and waiting for the groom’s family to arrive. Both the groom and bride are absent at this point. Once the groom’s family arrive, the Alaga Ijoko welcomes them at the gate in the company of the the housewives of the bride’s side of the family. The Alaga then asks the groom’s family to state their reasons for coming before collecting an entry fee from them.
Finally, she introduces them to the bride’s family before some prayers are said. After the introduction, the groom’s family kneel and prostrate before for the family of the bride. The two families then sit at opposite sides of the room, while the Alagas sit or stand in their midst.
Once seated, the Alaga Iduro presents the proposal letter to the Alaga Ijoko on behalf of the groom’s family. This letter is read out loud by a younger female representative of the bride’s family, such as the younger sister or cousin. An acceptance letter is then presented to the groom’s family before some prayers are said.
