Love at First Sight! Photos From Motunrayo Abiola And Oluwagbemiga Adedayo Traditional Wedding

MOTUNRAYO and OLUWAGBEMIGA traditional wedding ceremony was indeed a blast, the ceremony took place in Lagos state. The couple looked radiant, MOTUNRAYO was captivating, she looked flawless in her traditional bridal attire, her gele and wrapper was on point. The event venue was decorated with raffia material and the cake was awesome – it was baked in form of a traditional drum (which signified the culture and tradition of the people). OLUWAGBEMIGA is from Oyo State while MOTUNRAYO is from Ogun State.

When MOTUNRAYO and OLUWAGBEMIGA met, it was practically loved at first sight. OLUWAGBEMIGA’S eyes lit up when he first saw MOTUNRAYO but could not talk to her, he had no opportunity to do so. MOTUNRAYO on other hand wished he could come over to talk to her; she was already carried away by his charm, because he was so handsome.

Fate brought them together again and this time OLUWAGBEMIGA never lets go, he walked to her and ask for her name, from there they became best of friends. The outcome of that friendship is what we witnessing today – their traditional wedding. Sit back, relax and enjoy what this lovely couple has to say.

MOTUNRAYO ABIOLA

My involvement with OLUWAGBEMIGA was a funny one, from the first time we met I have never stop thinking about him, it was love at first sight which I have never admitted until now (laughing). In between I stressed him a lot, I pretended that I don’t have feelings for him, but gradually with time I loosen up, we became great friends, then later lovers. When he pop-up the question he was like "Ife mi meaning my love; will you Marr…." He has not finished the statement when I said yes. I thank God for making my traditional wedding a success.

OLUWAGBEMIGA ADEBAYO

MOTUNRAYO is a special lady, she has been a source of inspiration to me, she’s a lovely and lively person to be with. The first time I saw her was at a function, she was with her parent and some other people. I couldn’t take my eyes off her because she looked so beautiful that day, she was staring at me like wish. She wore a brown dress that I will never forget. I could not talk to her that day – she was with her parent, I was just wishing if she could step out from there but she never did. As God may have it, I met MOTUNRAYO again after so many months, this time I did not relent from talking with her. We exchange contact, we started talking but she didn’t give in to my advancement, I wooed her for 10 months before she said to me, after that the rest is history.

We are so excited to share these beautiful photos from MOTUNRAYOand OLUWAGBEMIGA’S traditional wedding with you all, courtesy JAFEL CONCEPT.

Photos-The Wedding Ceremony of Elisabeth Akanimo and Joshua Pwajok in JOS

The wedding ceremony of Elisabeth Akanimo and Joshua pwajok   was one to be remembered for a long time. The wedding solemnization took place at Our Lady Fatima cathedral Jos, Plateau State. Not only was it a special day for the couple, but its one that unified the nation because the bride is from Cross river state, south-south Nigeria while the groom is from Plateau state, North central Nigeria.

Joshua never planned that he will one day get married to an Efik lady because he had never seen him self picking up a wife outside his state, secondly he has lived most of his life in the North. Interesting isn’t it, as the saying goes “keep your heart open ……you never know where and how love might find you”.

As destined Joshua was deployed to serve in Calabar cross river state’s capital for his National youth service corps (NYSC). Joshua met Elisabethon his way to his place of Assignment, he was love struck and he never let go. I believe the rest is history.

The master of ceremony (MC) called the wedding “Marriage of unification”. Their color was white and red. The wedding reception was beautifully decorated to the delight of all that attended the wedding ceremony.

Here are some photos from Elisabeth Akanimo And Joshua Pwajok wedding ceremony in Plateau State, Nigeria.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
As a bride who want to look smart and trendy on her wedding day; adding fruits and vegetables to your meal is a necessity. This is not just to prevent belly fat but to have a healthy life style in general. During meal the American dietary guideline recommended that you make one-half of your plate to be fruits and vegetables. Some benefit of fruits and vegetables;

6 Tips on How to Get Fabulous Wedding Shoes and Still Keep Your Feet Smiling

Like it or not wedding shoes is an important accessory in any bridal outfit, it gives a complete look to the wedding gown. But wearing the wrong colour or size can be a complete disaster. Wearing the wrong size of shoes makes you uncomfortable; you can’t wait for the slightest opportunity to set your feet free.

Imagine on your wedding day your feet hurt as a result of wearing the wrong size of wedding shoes and no provision for an alternative. Ahh!! Your happiest day may turn out to be a living hell – from walking down the aisle, signing of marriage register, photograph section, cutting of cake and nuptial dance will turn out to be a frustrating moment for you because of just a little problem.

In this article I took time to points out tips how to get fabulous wedding shoes and still keep your feet smiling, so you if you take this advice seriously you will be smiling all through your big day.

1.Skip the Experiment

Your wedding day is not the time to experiment on new things, like wearing high heel when you are not use to it. My suggestion to brides is that they stick with what they are used to and comfortable with, specially the wedding shoes. Now listen if you’re not used to wearing sky high heels, then why take the chance on your big day?  Your wedding day is not the time to experiment, as we all know comfort is probably the most important factor for brides.

If you normally wear platform heels, slippers or snickers please stick to that. Wearing what will make you feel uncomfortable just because you want to measure up to some standard might spoil your dream moments for you. 

2.Matching Your Shoe With Your Dress
 

The colour of your wedding shoes and the type of material used is important as well. It is best to buy your wedding shoes before your dress fittings. The shoes you choose will play a large part in your overall look. If you want to have your shoes match your dress, the best way to do this is to take your suppose wedding shoes to the bridal store so that you can compare the colors and textures of the shoes to your dress. Also keep in mind that the higher the heel, the longer your dress will have to be and smaller the heel the shorter your dress.

3.Test Run

It advisable to Break-in your shoes for fitting and comfortability. Don’t wait until the actual day to try them out. On your wedding day, you will most likely be on your feet much more than you think, the last thing you want is to wobble down the aisle or deal with blisters on your happiest day. So wait no further, bring out your shoes from the box and feel them – by breaking your shoes in before the big day you can easily avoid all of these issues. 

4.Choice of Venue

The choice of venue for your wedding ceremony goes a long way to determine the type of wedding shoes to wear. For example, If are planning an outdoor wedding on grass, wedges may be a better option than sky high heels.

5.Buy Quality

I understand that you’re on a budget, but it is also important to get quality pair of wedding shoes for your wedding. Unlike your wedding dress, you can definitely wear your wedding shoes again and again after the big day. It is more economical to spend a little extra to get a more durable pair than to buy cheap ones just for the occasion. Have it in mind that when shopping for wedding shoes go for durable ones so that you can continue to wear them for years to come even after your big day.

6.Have a Spare Pair

Its common sense to have a backup pair of shoes during your wedding in case anything happens to your primary pair, such as a broken heel or discomfort. You can get Sandals, there are very comfortable when it’s that time to hit d dance floor.

When the wedding ceremony was going on the Master of ceremony (MC), brought the couple out and stood them apart and he said "this wedding ceremony's venue was rented on credit, they need money to pay up. If you know you love this couple come and drop a thousand Naira to bail them out".

Take a look at the video and see how it goes.

My Question is why rent a venue you can't pay for?
