(CNN) -- If inviting a couple of hundred of your nearest and dearest to your wedding sounds like a big gathering, then you are probably not getting married in Nigeria.
The country's extravagant celebration culture often sees up to 1,000 people coming together to toast the happy couple at a lavish party whose every detail has been meticulously planned months in advance.
Now, a wave of new startups is looking to tap into the booming industry and provide services especially tailored to the needs of the country's large-scale marriage celebrations. From wedding planner schools to VIP mobile toilets equipped with flat screen TVs, CNN's African Start-Up (http://www.theinfostride.com/forum/'http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/AFRICA/african-start-up/') profiles six businesses which want to get a slice of Nigeria's wedding industry cake.
