Omolade and I started speaking on the phone months before her wedding. We went over the details, asked and answered so many questions and generally got comfortable with each other. I saw her a few days to the wedding and it was so nice to finally meet her. One of the first things she said to me was, 'Alexia, I don't want too much makeup'. I smiled. You can have as little makeup as you'd like but you'll look beautiful nonetheless.
Omolade's wedding was in Ibadan, Oyo State. The first Ibadan wedding, I'd attend without eating amala. It was fun and memorable for me. Omolade has a close circle of friends who also were her bridesmaids. I loved listening to them and the anecdotes from secondary school which they shared made me laugh so much.
I wish Omolade and her husband a beautiful 'happily ever after!'
