Holla Lovelies,

November 11th was a success by all standards. The day my awesome fiancé, Raymond, graced Udi with his Umunna, to take me home to Aniocha, 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 prayer 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 then that we choreographed to Flavor's Ifeadigomma amidst loud cheers. My ashebi & I also sold eggs, a symbol of fertility.










Just before the wrestlers took the stage, DJ Ree’s Performance stole the show.

For the last outing, I wore a blend of Teal Green Indian George with red Gele and accessories. This was when my father gave me palm wine to search for my husband. After I found him, daddy blessed us and declared us Husband & Wife.

Happy Birthday, Le Fiancé!

Ray is a man of faith. When he first asked me to marry him, I had never met him! Not once. He'd seen me on 3 different occasions he came to worship in my church fellowship (N.C.F) while we were both in the University of Nigeria. That was 8 years ago.  I had never seen him and he didn't ever talk to me then. He just saw me worshiping my God.  Ray walks by faith and not by sight. Faith in God. He didn't need to see me again to know he wanted me to be his wife. When it was time to settle down, he believed God and allowed him to lead. No dating, at all. After 8+ years he first saw me, he proposed. I talked to God about it. God said yes. I said yes! Standard old school love, lol. Ray believes marriage isn't successful because two people are in love or have dated for a long time and therefore know each other so well (Only God truly knows a man's heart). He believes marriage works when the man and woman are COMMITTED to make it work, amo...

Pamper Your Natural Hair!

Hair-lo lovelies, It's all coming together pretty great. I'm really catching the Wedding Planning fever. Yesterday was superb and my dream wedding is looking more and more like it'll come true! In the few months since I've moved to Lagos, I've had to struggle with getting quality care for my natural hair. Turns out there's just about 3 natural hair salons in Lagos. Two on the Island and one on the mainland. And none was anywhere close to me. So I've tried to be my own hair-hero, and that hasn't been easy. Especially since I plan to be a natural hair bride. Imagine my excitement when I find that this gorgeous Natural Hair Salon was opening right next to me yesterday. I was there first thing in the morning. And I had the time of my life.  We started by taking out my Twist & Lock, which had gone a little flaky because of the gel in it.  Then we washed the hair and deep conditioned it. Oh, the water was jus...
