WHY I DIDN’T MARRY DAVID

PART ONE

 “On that note,” David would say when he wanted to close a conversation, “I should get going. I have to (fill in the blank).” There was always something that demanded his attention, giving him an excuse to end our meandering telephone conversations. We talked about politics, philosophy, and what was happening in our own lives. The conversations were always pleasant, not too threatening, and enjoyable—until he was ready to hang up, which, “on that note,” we did.

I met David at a singles Shabbat program in the late 1980s. “Meet like-minded religious twenty/thirty-something from all over Israel in a pastoral setting,” the poster advertised. Sounded great to me. I went with a sense of anticipation, mixed with a little anxiety.

6 RULES FOR WEDDING VISITORS IN NIGERIA

Wedding functions organised in the western part of Nigeria are stupendously incredible. While a great deal of the celebrants are required to observe certain traditions and follow certain rules, the guests are not spared either, as there are sure behavioral rules they too need to comply with while going to the event. . If you are visiting Nigeria and planning on attending a wedding, you are going to want to put your best foot forward. Also, that implies getting all around familiar with what the rule book says. To give you a head start, Jumia Travel, Africa's No.1 online lodging booking entrance, offers 6 rules for wedding visitors in Nigeria:

Do not wear any shade of white – The general idea is that the brides wear white or shades of the color, including ivory, cream e.t.c. You are not allowed to try and upstage the bride by wearing anything that is primarily white or a dress in a hue that is really close to white. You can however wear something with a touch of white, as long as the white does not dominate the ensemble. Actually, you are also not allowed to wear anything that will keep all attention on you rather than the bride. Stay away from plunging necklines, and thigh high slits. It is her day and it is important she has all the attention.
