Hey there your fiance is correct but it's 21 days before.... my fiance is going to register us at the courthouse in Ibadan next week. I sent him 2 of my passport pictures to take along with him...he is going to pay the court fees and when we go on 6/2/12 to get married he will take the food/wine they request at the courthouse that day...the link above that you were given...that is the correct advice... that is also were I looked months ago before I even asked my fiance what needed to be done to make sure he gave me the correct answer ;) well he did... You could skip the 21 day registration at the courthouse but I wouldn't advise to do so...as the embassy may want to ask about this at the time of your interview they do know the correct procedure as well...we all know that you can skip and jump over things in Nigeria but you might as well do it right if you are going to do it! Blessings to you wishing you all the best! :thumbs:

I love and miss that city with every fiber in my being.

ah nah....I didn't say you broke any rules... :D;)... my Pookie just said how we needed to do things for us...and as a good wife I am following suit :D ...I also talked to a lot of other women that said the same thing...but I have also talked to a few that said a few days was all it took...so maybe either way is fine...as for me...I want my photos up on the wall in shining lights at the courthouse! :) so please know I am not at all belittling your marriage...just was giving the poster some advice..no wahala! :P

Stick your tongue out at me will ya. LOL

I texted my husband in the middle of the night "Babe we may not be married go check the registry". OMG too funny his response. But didn't know there also is the expeditious expedite you can do which we did at more charge (of course). The 3 days in advance.

Like he said "Babe we were married in the court by an official judge. Got certificate with signatures and raised seal". We are married. Hehe.

But we both had to be there and sign all manner of paperwork. And the day of wedding a lot of filling out stuff to. Although I love those little souvenir booklets. Way cool.
