Among the Nigerians, an introduction ceremony is held where the families of the bride and the groom come to know each other. Normally the groom's family goes to the bride's place with a letter asking for their daughter's hand in marriage. This ceremony includes traditional dances and paying money to the bride's family to accept the letter. This is done few days before the wedding.
The next ceremony is the engagement where the groom's family again visits the bride's place to find out their response to the letter given during the introduction ceremony. Now both the families are formally introduced before the guests.
