The ambience was so conducive and everything went as planned.
IYALODE OF EGBALAND GRACES THE EVENT
One of the dignitaries who made it early to the venue is Iyalode of Egbaland, Chief Mrs Alaba Lawson. Dressed in the Ankara Aso Ebi picked for the day, she looked so glamorous and was given a welcome by Penpushing boss himself before she made her way to the seat reserved for her.

IT’S AYODELE OLUFEMI’S TURN

BEHOLD THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE
And the moment everyone was waiting came. The beautiful bride, Temitope Ololade, was invited. She danced in with her friends and siblings, looking so elegant in her blue embroidery Aso Oke, with beads and jewellery to match.

She was then directed to take her seat beside the groom immediately after the necessary custom was observed.
THE BRIDE’S FATHER AND MOTHER DANCE
