Your London Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 95)

For the evening, I changed into traditional Nigerian attire, wearing a stunning gold lace dress, a gold aso-oke head tie (popularly known as ‘gele’), with a gold hand fan to match and coral beads to complete my look. For our reception, we had a DJ and an MC, which was great because they gave it a real vibe. Our MC made everything personable, and he was very funny! The groom’s speech was pretty amazing! But we’re grateful for every single guest who attended and made our day special. A special thanks to our wedding planner, Cynthia, who made our dream wedding come true.

Our honeymoon was in Bali for two weeks, which was amazing! It was great for relaxation and we enjoyed having time alone together. 42
