In Obollo land, marriage is said to have taken place when the traditional breaking of kola-nut is performed and exchange of traditional palm wine is witnessed. White wedding or church wedding is a western culture though it complements due to religious belief. While the eldest man officiates in the processes of traditional wedding, the priest or man of God officiates in the white wedding. The common thing between the two weddings is that vow is taken.
