Over the
weekend, Nigerian high society turned out in their numbers to honour two
prominent families whose children: Folajimi Ayomikun Ayodeji, the dashing son
of Mr Iranola and Ayotola Ayodeji and Temilade Omotara Ojora, the beautiful
daughter of Adedapo and Patricia Ojora had decided to spend the rest of their
lives together.
While the
groom is the great grand-child of the late sage and former Premier of Western
Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the bride is the grand-daughter of Boardroom
guru, Otunba Adekunle Ojora.
Little wonder
that the venue, Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos was filled with quality
guests.
The lovers
and their families began the day with a cosy and private traditional wedding
ceremony that unfolded at a section of the same arena.
It was a very
convivial ceremony as both families exchanged banters and ensured that the
marital rites according to Yoruba Customs and tradition were observed complete
with singers and dancers.
The very
colourful traditional engagement ceremony which had Vice President, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo in attendance was rounded off with so much fanfare.
Later that
evening a lavish reception was held at the venue. With guests decked in the aso
ebi chosen for the occasion, green for the Ojoras and maroon for the Ayodejis
the whole venue was bright and beautiful.
Guests were
well entertained by Teni and King Sunny Ade and they were also pampered with
sumptuous meals and choice drinks.
Those who
were there to share this moment of joy with the two families included: Senator
Bukola Saraki and wife, Toyin, Chief Rasak Okoya and wife, Folasade, Alhaji
Aliko Dangote, Hajia Bola Shagaya, Greg Uanseru and wife, Ema, Prince Damola
Aderemi, Senator Lanre Tejuoso, Prince Femi Tejuoso, Segun Adesanya, Prince
