I Have Waited so Long to Say to You 'Be My Maid of Honor, Amaka'

By -



My Rii,

 Thank you for so many years of unparalleled friendship.

No one has come as close as you. You have taught me the true meaning of sisterhood. We have learnt so much together and there is no adventure that you have not been a part of.

It happened so fast. One moment, we’re enjoying curry noodles and egg in that tiny room we happily shared for a whole year in the University and the next I’m getting married. It all really happened so fast, the days we would come back tired from fellowship and set alarms to wake and read in the middle of the night, oh how you were such a pest those nights, relentlessly calling till I joined you. But I finally learnt to wake up and do what must be done. Oh, Ray’s definitely a big wake-up!
I’m writing this, right now, in the quiet of the night.

This night, I want to tell you how much I’ve looked forward to having you with me on my wedding day. We often joked about it in our single days but it’s really happening and a part of me misses you already. I know that’s probably silly but it’s true. You have affected me beyond words. And I thank God for sending such an angel in the form of my best friend.

There are so many plans to make, several dresses to choose from, too many appointments to meet and I still have to keep my prayer life 100. I can’t do this all by myself babe. You’ve been my accountability partner for so long and as much as I’m happy that I’m getting married to the best man I know, I can’t help but feel like you’d be proudest, knowing you’ve helped me stay away from bad  gangs all these years. God has really been faithful to us!

I’m really blessed to have you in my life. You’re so strong. You must know how much you mean to me, how you continue to inspire me and how proud you make me.
My dear, there’s only one way I’d pull off a superb wedding. It’s with you, giving me the full dose of your support and being as patient with me on my wedding day as you always are. The last post I made about how to be a Maid of Honor made it very clear you’re the only girl for this. http://mcoliviaevents.blogspot.com.ng/2017/08/how-to-be-maid-of-honor-101.html

Amaka, I have waited so long for the day I get to say this to you,

Will you be my Maid of Honor?

Please 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. It was such a thrill planning my own wedding via Mc Olivia Events, my event management company.
