Mfoniso Udofia continues her Ufot Family Cycle with a vibrant, heartwarming celebration of love intertwining Nigerian and Nepali cultures. When Abasiama and Disciple's only son, Ekong asks Lumanthi Rathi to be his wife, they accept that their dream wedding might have to go on without either of their fathers present. But when Lumanti's dad has a sudden change of heart, Ekong dares to attempt a reconciliation with his long-estranged father in order to make the ritual of their wedding ceremony truly whole.

"...The sixth play in Mfoniso Udofia’s nine-play Ufot Family Cycle brings us the adorable couple Ekong Ufot (Kadahj Bennett) and Lumanti Shrestha (Mahima Saigal) as they struggle with Ekong’s deeply damaged father (Adrian Roberts as Nsikan Disciple Ufot) in the final weeks of what should be happy preparations for their wedding. The Ufot Family Cycle is a two-year undertaking to present the saga of an extended family of Nigerian-Americans living primarily in Massachusetts. Spearheaded by the Huntington and its artistic director Loretta Greco, it involves dozens of local theater groups, educational institutions, and cultural organizations, with each of the plays performed in a different area venue."
