She also introduced some family friends and important dignitaries present. And all of them stood up raising their hands and praising God. The MC then introduced the couples starting with alex and then adeola praising each of them using their family names and linage. Alex and his friends were all hearing what the woman was saying and they couldn’t help but laughed.


‘’Hakeem; is my phone still with you’’ asked alex
‘’Yes,’’ replied Hakeem giving the phone to alex.

Alex was a little worried because she called adeola two hours earlier but she didn’t picked her calls; he guessed she was busy getting ready for the event. He dialled her number again but it was switched off. After two minutes, he remembered he had kemi’s number who he was sure will be with adeola

He looked so handsome in the attire and even his friends complement his looks. The local drummers came to meet them and the MC was waiting for him at the entrance to dance in together. He danced along with his friends and has he was entering the hall, the DJ hired played a song ‘’woju’’ by kiss Daniel and ‘’kabiyesi’’ by dr sid. Most of the guest stood up and started spraying him money including his parent and adetutu who was assisted by Dr oni.

Some amount of money was collected by the MC from alex, his friends and some of the guest; which she promised will be used to transport the bride to the hall.


While all this was going on, adeola and her friends were around and waiting for her to be called in. All her friends took pictures with her and some of her aunties do the same. She wore an orange lace as top and a lemon green aso ofi as wrapper and her head tie was mixed with both colours. Her face was covered with a transparent veil. She was so beautiful that even her friends and everybody that sighted her gushed over her beauty. Her fingers were trembling due to anxiety and kemi noticed it
