We\u2019ve got a story that\u2019s about changing the way you think about weddings. Joining us this week are Nath and Ada (prounounced AY-DA), the dynamic duo who just threw the most eco-friendly wedding Abuja has ever seen.  <\/p>\nWastebanc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

W<\/strong>: Welcome, guys! Thanks for being here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ada:<\/strong> What\u2019s good? We\u2019re pumped to be here. Thanks for having us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emeka:<\/strong> Yeah, it\u2019s dope. We\u2019re happy to share our story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

W:<\/strong> So, let\u2019s dive in. What made you decide on an eco-friendly wedding? That\u2019s a pretty bold move! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emeka:<\/strong> Oh, it was all Ada’s idea. She\u2019s a green queen, for real. She\u2019s all about reducing, reusing, and recycling. And I\u2019m all about making her happy, so I was like, “Let\u2019s do this!” We both wanted our wedding to be a reflection of what we care about, you know?. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ada:<\/strong> Yeah, for sure. I mean, why not, right? If we can throw a party and still be kind to the planet, that\u2019s a win-win. We wanted to show that you can have a blast without creating a ton of waste. It\u2019s all about being mindful and having fun at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we can throw a party and still be kind to the planet, that\u2019s a win-win…<\/p>\nAda<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

W:<\/strong> Love that. So, tell us about some of the eco-friendly touches you added to the wedding. I\u2019m sure folks are curious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ada:<\/strong> Oh, we had a ton of cool stuff. The invitations were on recycled paper, and we asked people to RSVP online to save paper. For decorations, we used potted plants from a local nursery. They looked amazing, and after the wedding, we donated them to a community garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emeka:<\/strong> And the centerpieces were these dope upcycled glass bottles with succulents in them. We had a little sign that said, “Take me home!” and people loved it. We didn\u2019t want any single-use plastics, so we had bamboo straws and compostable cutlery. Even the food was locally sourced and organic. It was like a mini eco-festival! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

W:<\/strong> Wow, you guys really went all out. How did your guests react to all the eco-friendly stuff? Was everyone on board? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emeka:<\/strong> Yeah, at first, some folks were like, “Okay, this is different.” But once they got there, everyone was vibing. People started taking the succulents home as souvenirs, and we had a recycling station for bottles and cans. It was cool seeing everyone getting into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ada:<\/strong> For sure. My family was all about it. My aunties were taking pictures with the plants, asking where they could get the same ones. I told them it\u2019s easy, just find a nursery! And my friends were digging the whole eco-friendly vibe. It was a chill atmosphere, and everyone just had a great time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W:<\/strong> Sounds like the perfect party! Any advice for others who want to throw an eco-friendly wedding but might not know where to start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ada:<\/strong> Totally! Start small. You don\u2019t have to go all out from the get-go. Maybe start with the invites or the decorations. Find local vendors who share your eco-friendly goals; don\u2019t be afraid to get creative. It\u2019s your day, so make it yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emeka:<\/strong> Yeah, and don\u2019t stress about it too much. If you\u2019re having fun and keeping it real, people will go with the flow. The best part is knowing that you\u2019re making a positive impact while celebrating your love. That\u2019s something everyone can get behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W:<\/strong> Wise words. Thanks for sharing your story, Ada and Emeka. We wish you both all the best. Keep spreading those eco-friendly vibes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ada:<\/strong> Thanks! We had a blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emeka:<\/strong> Yeah, thanks for having us. Stay green, fam!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
