Ola apparently proposed to his beau on her 28th Birthday celebration at the Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos. It was quite a very romantic one that took the bride to be by surprise as she was not expecting the drama of it all. 

Isi recounting it all-  

It was my 28th birthday and I was just looking forward to a quiet dinner at the Wheatbaker with Ola. He was behaving strangely and I almost wanted to tell him to forget the whole dinner. Then when the waitress lifted the cover for my "meal" I was greeted with a plate filled with nothing but a small dark grey box. After he got down on one knee and the clapping from fellow dinning patrons had died down, I was still unable to speak. Fighting back the tears that threatened to flood my face and the knee jerk reaction of giving him my tightest bear hug, I finally said "Yes".

 

WHEN ISI SAID YES!

On her wedding train would be 2 of her younger siblings, Zephia and Tito, who would be supported by 2 of Isi's friends- Gwen & Camellia. While the groom has his handsome brother 'Bardia' Adebola Olowu aka Illrymz has best man & supported by 3 of his friends- Oni, Yomi & Charles.
