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 spar...

Hi lovelies, I have amazing news. It's been a really busy week. But the day is finally upon us. I came home to my beautiful city of Enugu from Lagos. From the warm 'abacha' reception my mum gave me, to the awesome harmattan air, it's been awesome. But it's also been lots of implementing and coordination of several vendors. I am tired, and happy. This journey that we started early this year is finally ripe. Tomorrow, #becomingmrsray is fulfilled. I've learnt so much on this journey and my event management company, Mc Olivia Events, definitely came through with the planning. Tomorrow, we perfect it. I feel like I'd be shy when I have to find my husband to give him wine, there's so many family and friends coming to celebrate with my family and Ray's. It feels so good. I'm just really grateful to God that this day is finally here. It's been a fun ride. The future looks so good from here and I'm sure with God on our side, my marr...

Hello November! Open Letter to My Awesome Fiancé.

Hey lovelies,  Happy new month. As I welcome you to my wedding month, I'd love to share my open letter to my fiancé, Ray, with you. Originally written on November 1st, 2017, this letter doesn't even capture the excitement I feel in my spirit about being just days away from marrying the man of my dreams. Or the butterflies 😂😂😂😂😂. Here goes; I always wondered how people know they've met their life partner. Somehow, I assumed I would get married and then grow to love my man. It never occurred to me that I would meet someone whose love would open me to a world of miracles. I said yes because God assured me you were the man for me, from whose side I was formed. God guaranteed you. It is a miracle that in the few months I've gotten to know you for myself, you've turned out to be exactly the man I want to spend my life with & more. You've strengthened my faith in God, in the wisdom that God still makes the best matches ever.  Ev...
