You're the Best Gift Mummy Gave Me. Come Bother Me Baby, Be My Bridesmaid Vivian!

By -

B nwa,

I have loved you since before you were born. And our friendship began while you were still a foot stamped against mummy's womb and I would try to grab you and trace out your entire figure.

You came into my life and took all the attention, but you gave it all back with so much affection. Watching you grow has been one of my greatest joys in life. From being your guardian in primary/secondary schools and University to being your agent when you chose modeling. And that's the crazy thing, you managed to grow beyond the very little girl you once were to this tall shapely queen that I can't even conveniently knock again. Sigh.

You've come out way better than I could ever have imagined. Exceptionally creative, Godly, smart and just plain awesome!

And you finished that course and even got your own job. My astronomer baby that will take me to the moon. I'm so proud of you and what you've accomplished in your young life.

I will miss you. But I'm so glad that you won't be taking my clothes again, oh how my wardrobe suffered in your hands. You do know you can't come to my husband's house and raid my wardrobe, right?

Where I'm going, I'll be the last born for now, and I'll get to enjoy some of the little pleasures you've robbed me of for over twenty years. Things like having the last piece of meat! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

But I promise, I'll always be here for you, even when I'm pregnant and annoying. I'll still be your big sister. Ready to defend you any and everywhere.

I will sincerely miss you B. It won't be the same if we can't fight again. And I'm sorry for the times I made you cry. Yes, I would do it again if that means I get to grow up with you again. We both know those were crocodile tears, besides that's what sisters do. Fight. Make up. Finish each other's food. Defend each other. Steal each other's clothes.

You're the best gift mummy (and daddy) ever gave me. Someone to love and play with.

For the last time, I want you to follow me everywhere. Bridal shower, kitchen, church, reception. Come bother me baby. You know more about weddings than I, be my professional bouquet catcher. 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜. Ray and I love you, and it would mean the world to me if you would just be your amazing self on my wedding day.

Be my bridesmaid Vivian!

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.
