Dear Ada, Be My Bridesmaid.

By -
In January 2017, I asked God to send me a new friend. Someone who would help me navigate this level of my life and understand what God wants for me because my altar was growing terribly cold and I had moved to a new neighborhood and was lonely. The next week, I was stepping out of my office in Independence Layout when I ran into my one time Hall mate and friend. She was there that cold morning at Zik's Flat, 8 years ago when I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Adaeze, you are the answer to my prayer. The friend that I cried to God for. As you came each evening to check on me in January and take me to Dominion City Church, you rekindled a fire in me.
The day Ray asked me to marry him, you were the first person I called. Because you were the one who listened endlessly to me each evening on our way from church as I shared animated stories about the man that says he was sent to love me. You were my Elizabeth and you never planted doubt in my heart for once. You practically unpacked and repacked my bag when I was traveling to Lagos in February to see the girls and Ray. You took out all the tomboy shorts and replaced them with dresses. Xoxo.
I miss you. I miss jogging to your house in the mornings to delay you from work. Lol. And although it may seem I only stayed in that apartment for a few months, I know it was God answering my prayer, leading me to you. Making us neighbors again and friends for life. Haven't you wondered why I moved to Lagos and you moved to Abuja almost immediately? We just had to meet again.
I'm grateful for your friendship and for every time you reassured me I was doing the right thing.
My international make up artist, lol.
Baby girl, it's really happening. I'm really getting married. I would love you to be by my side when I say I do to my Ray of love.
Will you be my bridesmaid, Ada?
Say Yes!

Classic Naija & Foreign Wedding Songs

Hey lovelies, Your wedding day is drawing close, you’ve dreamt of the perfect day. Your bridesmaids are all pretty, the venue’s been reserved, you found the perfect bouquet, Naija jollof rice is on your menu, and your man has even agreed to wear a pink tie, lol. One thing remains; you’ve still not found that magical song that would turn your first dance with le boo into a living fantasy. That song that captures your entire relationship and tells the story of your love for each other. Well, don’t stress it. I gat you! So, in my work as an M.C, I’ve encountered some really embarrassing dance moments for a couple. Now, I usually advice couples to make a list of favorite songs they'd love to hear on their wedding day and ensure the DJ has them before the day. This one time, it was time for the couple’s first dance. The couple told me they’d requested a special song for their first dance. But when I signaled the D.J to play their special song, I nearly had a heart attack. In a

Holla Lovelies, November 11th was a success by all standards.  The day my awesome  fiancé, Raymond,  graced Udi with his Umu n n a, to take me home   to A n iocha, as  wife. The night before, I laid out all my outfits after my choreography rehearsals, with plans to get some long beauty sleep.            Almost like clockwork, I was up at first cock-crow, excited to finally be getting married to the love of my life. Bye bye beauty sleep. I had my morning devotion which was mostly thanking God that the day had finally come for my journey into married life to begin. We had a pra yer walk round my father's house. My darling Ebube was with me all the way. She's a blessed woman. I took my sweet time to get ready for my first outing, and I stepped out gracefully, in the company of my sisters, to greet my in-laws & everyone present. For my second outing, I wore the sparkling 'Akwa Ocha', as a Delta bride. It was

The heavens held their rains, the sun was mild and soothing. There were lots to eat (especially abacha) & drink (including palm wine) 😂 My coordination team @mcoliviaevents1 was superb. I had three colorful outings, including the beautiful akwa-ocha as a new Delta Bride. My boo nearly beat me on the dance floor but it was a draw. lol. We rematch at the white wedding soon.
