Abdulazeez was determined to make Olufunmilayo his bride. He had already asked for her hand in marriage, and she had accepted. Now it was time to start the preparations for the wedding.
The first step was to gather the dowry. In ancient Ibadan, the groom was expected to provide a dowry to the bride's family. This dowry was usually made up of items such as jewelry, fabric, and other valuable items.
Abdulazeez was determined to provide the best dowry possible for Olufunmilayo. He went to the local market and purchased the finest jewelry and fabrics he could find. He also purchased several goats and chickens, which were a sign of wealth and prosperity.
Once he had gathered the dowry, he presented it to Olufunmilayo's family. They were very pleased with the dowry and accepted it with gratitude.
With the dowry accepted, the preparations for the wedding could begin. The next step was to arrange for the ceremony and the feast. Abdulazeez and Olufunmilayo's families worked together to make sure everything was perfect for the special day.
The wedding was a beautiful affair, and everyone was filled with joy and happiness. Abdulazeez and Olufunmilayo were married, and they began their life together with love and happiness.
