WEDDING BELLS

Hi friends,

I know its been awhile and believe me, it was attributed to a lot of things, but here we are once again and its good to be back. Although I'm supposed to continue the flatter me series, I just couldn't go on without sharing a little something from the heart.

Just last week, I was chatting with a couple of friends and I realised that there have been a lot of weddings this year. I'm not talking about people I know or those that I am aware of but in general, everyone knows of about four people that got married or are getting married before the end of the year. Personally, I attended four weddings this year and unfortunately could not attend about five...yeah, I said five...and it may even be more! I guess everyone's falling in love and lines are truly falling in pleasant places. While some of the couples seemed all magical- love at first sight, the others have been long overdue...you know that story of that couple that started dating since they were in their first or second year in the university? Or the relationship that made us keep our fingers-crossed because the gal graduated from university before the guy.

Tunde and Ose Sanusi

Between my last post and now a lot has happened. Most importantly, was the wedding of one of my oldest friend, Ose Ewoigbokan, now Mrs Ose Sanusi.  After promising myself not to ever accept the task of a chief bridesmaid/maid of honour about 3 years ago, once again I found myself without a choice. Besides keeping a smile on the lips of the bride, making her comfortable, running errands and exchanging gifts, I also had to keep my cool… woos ah! I had me no choice concerning that, after all it wasn’t my day. All in all, the 17^th of September, 2011 was a memorable day and a glorious occasion.

Weddings are great. There’s the traditional marriage, the church wedding and the part everyone loves to attend the most, tha reception. There's also the beautiful mixture of laughter and sadness, tears and cheers, food and drink, music and dance, colourful decorations and lightings, good, bad and ugly people socializing and pinging, fancy live band, annoying DJ moments and MC slip ups, maybe some popular music artistes, business moguls, political figures, catching the bouquet and what's a wedding without unexpected events that tend to lead to temper tantrums and of course my favourite part beautiful clothes.
