Wedding Saturdays: Black & Gold

For the first time in I don't know, many many years, I attended a wedding where I didn't personally know the couple.

Weddings are very stressful and unless the couple are personal friends or I'm on the bridal train I don't attend.

This one though, my friend made a great case for it, I had a nice outfit so I thought "why not", and I'm glad I went because it was one hell of a party. Typical Lagos, I happened to know over 70% of the room so I felt very welcome.

The story of this outfit get as e be. It was initially a boubou type dress and I'd had it for over a year but never wore it. Then sometime this year I thought it could stand to be transformed in some way and took it to my intrepid designer, Jen of Esosa Stores who cut and stitched her way to perfection.

Wedding Sundays

Todays installment of #WeddingSaturdays took place on a Sunday instead, hence the change in title.

It was my homeslice Kike 's engagement and I was a Frockstar in Frockit Rockit for her big day.

This was only my 2nd time attending a Yoruba engagement and my 1st time being so close to the action. It was so colourful and so interesting, I loved it.

The woman who MC'd during the whole process (I think she's called a matchmaker, correct me if I'm wrong) was an absolute star. She was hilarious and lewd and inappropriate and simply everything. She kept us in stitches throughout.

I met Kike in Law School but we had attended both Corona and Vivian Fowler and been in the same year but strangely never met.

Small world.

The gorgeous bride.

Beautiful People

Had to leave the wedding a bit early because of prior engagements but I had an awesome time, it was so much fun re-connecting with all my friends from Law School, the Bwari gang came through for Kike.

Congrats Kike and Folayemi!

Love and light xx
