ABDULSALAM & MARYAM BELGORE'S WEDDING CEREMONY. PART 2- The Wolimat


We cannot stop talking about this wedding ceremony. Like we have already said many times over, it is one Ilorin town would not forget for a longwhile. It would take something extraordinary to top this wedding ceremony, it was like the whole of Ilorin, both the young and the old all came together very happily to pay homage to the much loved Islamic Cleric- Sheikh  Sulaiman Farooq Onikijipa, whose first daughter- Maryam was getting wedded to one of the sons of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, in the person of Retired Justice Alfa Belgore.

Before the wedding proper could happen, the duo - Maryam & her then husband to be Abdulsalam had to do what the Muslims call the Wolimat, which is a graduation sort of from the Quranic school, meaning that those who do the wolimat must have finished reciting the Holy Book- The Quran. For the faithfuls, it is a compulsory  thing to do. So a day to her wedding fatiha, the gorgeous bride had a very colorful wolimat.  The happy bride in the midst of her friends, was led to the venue of the wolimat, where in front of many top clerics who had come to the wedding from far and near, recited portions of the Holy Book with gutso to the admiration of the hundreds gathered at the venue. Afterwards she was acknowledged to have done very well, she later went round to many of the important personalities to recite the Quran to them individually, chief amongst those she had to go to see was the Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Majesty- Alhaji Ibrahim Kolapo Sulu Gambari, who after listening to the bride's recitation, blessed and prayed for her well-being and the success of the wedding. Much of what was done on this particular day, was the recitation, she also went to the house of her father-in-law, who received her very happily and afterwards presented her a very beautiful Quran. Just before going to her father-in-law's house, the gorgeous bride, paid her husband to be a quick visit, also to recite a portion of the Quran.

Here are the pictures of the day's proceedings for your viewing pleasure.

Who did her makeup? horrible. They didnt do her eyebrows well, Too dark. Lovely pictures though

That was the first thing i noticed but didn't want to comment. Her eyebrows made her look older for such a pretty lady. Wrongly shaped too. That's one part of our faces these make up artists need to prefect. Getting it wrong can spoil the whole look.
