Steem Cameroon Best day Contest - 08/01/21
INTRODUCTION
Good day my colleague steemians. I hope you are all good. Here comes another day and we are grateful to the Almighty Allah. I will like to share with you guys the best day of the week.
It was on the 2nd January 2022, that was on Sunday. That was my brothers wedding day.
REASON WHY IT WAS MY BEST DAY
Early in the morning, around 4:30 after fajr prayers, we the ladies started preparing and arranging things to start cooking. It was Rice and Stew. We the small small children from our family were there to help our mothers in preparing these food. Like blending tomatoes 🍅 , slicing onions 🧅, washing bowls and the rest. At exactly 7:00am, the food was ready and we served it in a takeaway bowls. They sent me to buy bread, milk and all staffs for tea. I heated water for them and they took their breakfast. Before we the small small children now prepare ours 😂.
We started bathing one after the other and started dressing up for the wedding. In an Islamic wedding, the groom and bride are called into the mosque with their parents and some of their family members for witness. The area imam will be there and he will be the one to start the congregation. He started by reciting some verses of the Quran. He asked the bride’s father,the groom’s father want you to give your daughter to them. Have you given her out? Then he will say yes for 3x. He then asked the groom’s father, the bride’s father has given his daughter to you, have you accepted? Then he will also say yes. That one too 3x.

After the mosque, we took the bride around and fanning her because she completed the Quran some years ago. Then the bride went back home to change. Even though I was the groom’s sister, I was just in the bride’s house. The difference is just some 30minutes walk. You know girls and chilling, our house wasn’t that interesting as the bride’s house. So we were all there.
After we came out from the mosque, they shared the food with water and drinks. Enjoyment everywhere. Eating and drinking, taking pictures and snap videos. Listening to musics and dancing. Giving stories and a lot of fun 🤩. We performed ablution and observed the zuhr prayer at 1:30.
Last Sunday was my best day of the week because it was very interesting and a lot of excitement even though there was a lot of stress. At 3:00 we had to performed ablution for the asr prayer. We gathered and prayed together with the boys infront.
CONCLUSION
We sat for some time and they asked we the small small children to go and wash the big big pots they used for cooking. They started another cooking. They prepared fufu in the evening. And after eating we had to do some exercise, bathed before going to bed.
