Good friends. Supportive and loyal ones for that matter are hard to find so when you have some, you keep them. At least Mo ABUDU'S friends have shown to her that they are true friends in the real sense of it, as they were around her when their supports was needed most and they all showed up looking very glam and super tasty.

So the final leg in the wedding diary of Mo's daughter-Temidayo to the son-Adebola of Remi Makanjuola, the owner of Calverton Group finally held in California last weekend and from the look of it, it was a fun fun galore all the way and quite colourful gathering too by the look of it.

The editor of This Day Style Magazine, Ruth Osime who had been at the Paris wedding of the Anumudu's had flown to America, like Pat Faniran another close friend to join up with Ekua Abudu & others, to give their stylish friend, the multiple award winning, super stylish and ageless MO Abudu, the owner and founder of Ebony Life TV all the support she needed to make her daughter's day quite eventful & a success.

From everything seen, it is quite obvious that mother and daughter are quite close, more like younger sister and elder sibling kind of friendship. She is in fact Mo's only daughter as her other kid is a boy, better put a man. It is also quite obvious for the world to see and witness that husband and wife, that's Temmie D and her husband are quite close and super into each other, with those long affectionate and lingering looks, smiling gently at each other like no one else exists in their surreal world. Being together for 8 good years, we are sure that's why that is so obvious. They have grown together like good wine and have matured very well at least it seems.

Bride's mother didn't disappoint at all in her supremely gorgeous and outstanding outfit, you would think she's the one getting married ooooooo. Her body and the outfit were superb. Ruth, the style maven who had dazzled all comers with her outfit in Paris for another wedding, favored a green ruffled top and silver pant combo ensemble that was totally on point. We are actually green with envy. Young Eunice Omole was also in attendance looking as good as always as were many other stylish people too, likes of Grace Egbagbe who has lost a lot of weight, Debola Williams, Omoni Oboli, make up czarina Banke Meshida-Lawal, Azuka Ogujuiba and Co were in attendance.

See the pictures and salivate!!!!

MO ABUDU'S ONLY DAUGHTER - TEMIDAYO IS ALREADY ON THE 9 MONTHS COURSE AS SHE PREPARES FOR HER CALIFORNIA WHITE WEDDING

We had thought we would have had the time to go witness first hand Temidayo Teniola's white wedding in California, USA, but alas, time and other logistics beyond our control have conspired to not permit what would have been a super fantastic experience and coverage. But it is super obvious though that, Africa's lady of television, the award winning and super stylish Mosunmola Abudu, is leaving no stones unturned, to host her only daughter (she also has a son) to a "superlative, quite impressive wedding ceremony.

This wedding is spanning Lagos, Nigeria, London, the United Kingdom and then Cali, that's talking about California, in the US of A. A trip around the world a LA Lisa Standfield's famous 90s hit song!

It all began a few weeks back, when Lagos was shaken to its marrow when Mo, one of the only women in Nigeria that can be referred to by just a coinage of their first name alone, gathered the who-is-who together at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos for the traditional wedding of her only daughter to one of the sons of the super rich boss and owner of Calverton Group, in the person of Chief Remi Muyideen Makanjuola. Many that attended that Lagos end of these 3-pronged event wouldn't forget that event in a hurry in all ramifications. With that event, Mo Abudu showed she was no fluke at organizing A-class, 7-stars, topnotch events, especially a wedding for her child. There was an over abundance of everything that sets parties apart from parties.

Was it the guest list? Was it the food and drinks? Was it the decor? Was it the style that was on display? Was it the drama? The elements must have specially conjoined together for good effect, because people gave good kudos afterward to both the founder of EbonyLife TV and the family of her daughter's husband, the Makanjuolas for a super duper good job well done.

The event was managed by the superlative duo of Ibidunni Ituah-Ighodalo of Elizabeth R and Funke Bucknor-Obruthe of Zapphaire Events. Decor was done by the master of them all, Uche Majekodunmi of Newton & David. For Mo and by extension Chief Remi Makanjuola only the very best would do, so no expense was spared to make that happen. With the ultimate himself, KSA on the bandstand supported by the current king of the season- Burna Boy and Tiwa "the queen" Savage.

The bride and the groom must have been well pleased by what their parents teamed up to do for them. Mo and her ex-husband-Tokunbo Abudu, a prominent lawyer and businessman must have been super happy that their daughter was getting married, a first from their home. Chief Remi Makanjuola and Lady Cassandra Omage (not his wife) too must have been super elated too as was obvious.

The whole wedding thing began in August of last year, that's 2018. It was a more subtle of all the events that has heralded the wedding ceremonies. The world class "introduction" was in January of 2019 and the Abeokuta, Ogun State palatial home of Temidayo's paternal grand-dad's home was the venue. After that was the Lagos, Sunday, March 24, 2019 traditional wedding at the Oriental Hotel. Then a few days ago in London was the court and registry wedding which was at the Westminster House Registry in Marylebone, London. And then by this weekend, the white wedding, meaning church shebang, is holding in California. USA.

And for all our information, just as young Temidayo is about doing her white wedding, we are happy to announce that she's already many months gone!!!! Hip hip hooray!!! What we mean by that is that, she is already pregnant. How far gone she is? We do not know. But we are very happy for the couple as Mo would be eagerly awaiting the birth of her 1st grandchild!

Congratulations to everyone!!!!

SHARON FRIMPONG FAIRYTALE WEDDING OFFICIATED BY BENNY HINN.

Kiss of life

Entering with the dad-Pastor Chris

Officiating minister Pastor Benny Hinn 

The super elated and overjoyed father led his first daughter and child into the hall as renowned televangelist BENNY HINN waited patiently to conduct the service that would officially stamp the gorgeous bride as the newest wife in town, so show could be now addressed officially as Mrs. Sharon Carissa Phillip FRIMPONG.

Pastor Benny Hinn the officiating minister was supported by other pastors and clergy men. He is renowned for his healing ministry, of which Pastor Chris too has made a name for himself across the world. After the beautiful traditional wedding in the bride's hometown of Benin in Edo State, those behind the whole ceremonies had said that the Lagos edition of the nuptial was going to be totally upscale and that it would be tagged the "white royal wedding" and it was like a royal wedding indeed, as the 1st princess in the household of Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome, Sharon like Diana, the late former Princess of Wales looked every inch like a royal.

Her supremely beautiful white wedding gown was totally glam and gorgeous and it is very obvious, indeed very glaring for all to see that good money was well spent to make everything happen. Pastor Chris is noted to be one of the top 5 Wealthiest men of God in Nigeria and by extension Africa and nothing was spared to make this occasion, the 1st in his immediate family a grand occasion by all and every standard.

The husband, Phillip FRIMPONG, who is the co-founder of ONUA an online Advertising agency, looked super handsome and well garbed, just like his father-in-law, who is known very much as a super stylish bloke. The officiating minister, Pastor Benny Hinn as usual too was on top of his game, with his silver air well cuffed and outfit as outstanding as usual.

Congratulations to the couple.

The Landmark Lagos engagement and traditional wedding event or that part of the event was a massive occasion, with all expected trappings. All the society bigwigs et al, royal fathers, business men and women, friends and family members and more showed up in good numbers to make it a memorable occasion in support of a jolly good fellow, in former banker turned property magnate in the person of Mr Stephen Bisi Onasanya and his adorable wife Helen.

The part 2, which was the white wedding like we had already informed was a destination wedding affair and it was in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates over the weekend. Compared to the Lagos event, it was a more modest affair in every way, in sheer size, guest list etc but even at that it didn't lack in class or distinction at all, as it was still topnotch and very stylish at that.

The handsome groom Tolulope adopted to wear a white smart looking tuxedo over a black pant, the simple and very classy wedding outfit worn by the bride Oluwakemi only let her all round gorgeousness just flow out the more without it getting submerged in some voluminous wedding dress/outfit which normally takes the whole attention instead of the person wearing it.

All in all, it all looked like a stupendously classy affair in a very idyllic location.

Miss Oludamilola Osinbajo now former, after the ceremony this afternoon, that made her Mrs. Damilola Bakare is one beautiful lady. Everything about the young lady just speaks beauty, class and distinction. So today, Saturday, March 17, 2018 she ceased to be a spinster anymore, as she was joined in holy matrimony to her beau of many years, young pastor in the making, Oluseun Bakare, the 3rd son of HAJIA BOLA MUINAT SHAGAYA at a well packaged, not too big a ceremony in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory. Though not too big a ceremony, but several Governors, government functionaries and special guests were in attendance. Church wedding was at the National Ecumenical Centre Abuja, also known as National Church of Nigeria, the reception was at the State House Conference Centre.

Damilola looked ethereal in her white wedding dress, giving the already pure coloured outfit gorgeous energy radiation that embraces! Her dad wore a smart, carton colour Aso Oke Agbada on a white native, while the naturally beautiful mom wore a simple but very elegant, peach lace outfit. Groom's mom as expected was on point in her awesome looking 2 piece (Iro & buba) peach outfit which she garnished very well with another awesomely beautiful diamond and ruby jewelry set, that was standout. Seun wore a smart 2 piece navy tuxedo that fitted him like a glove.

One of those who graced the occasion at a venue just a stone throw from his own abode, was the President of Nigeria, Mallam Muhammad Buhari GCFR, we also saw the likes of Governors Rauf Aregbesola, Senator Abiola AJIMOBI, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Dele Alake, John Momoh and many others.

Though not much pictures of the event are out yet, we have a few for your viewing pleasure and delight.  Check 'em out!

Maybe because of the many hoopla that attended the other parts of the wedding that had taken place before, the families were a lot more guarded as per this final installment, which took place in Abuja, the FCT.

We had reported in our earlier reports how this final installment was going to go. The mothers night preceded the main thing.

The main thing, which was the white wedding itself was at the Central Mosque in Abuja, where vows were exchanged amidst tight security on Friday, December 8, 2017, thereafter guests and all moved to the International Conference Centre Abuja, where the humongous reception took place, as was expected it was classy all the way, decent dressing and no "hoochie coochie lalala". As was expected also there was no alcohol whatsoever served, but food was in overabundance.

The entertainment factor was litt too as "Runtown and David Adeleke aka Davido" performed gleefully to everyone's delight, and later on Africa's best international act known to the world as "Wizkid" performed at the after party that had the younger crowd in attendance, and where alcohol later flowed as it was mainly the young crowd, who weren't held back by anything whatsoever.

In all, it was more like any other upscale wedding party that takes place everytime in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria. In attendance were many dignitaries, likes of Chief Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo our Ex-president, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, top Government functionaries and other bigwigs, chief of which was Madam Patience Jonathan, the former first lady of Nigeria.

#BAAD2017 #CAPETOWNGOTTAKEN PART 2 OF ADESUA WEDS BANKY W

Sealed with a KISS! 

Those polka dotted socks yummy

Groom's men

Groom and Best man

We had expected that the dudes would be dapper and the dudettes (dudes is unisex though) to be chic! We weren't disappointed, as they made the effort.

Imagine flying to such a beautiful, far place like Capetown and not even trying at all!

The groom's men in their white tuxedos repped. It was obvious they reveled in their role. Groom as always and as was expected was on point, the fine boy no pimple, was looking quite smart.

Noble, who was expected to be a groom's man, but wasn't dressed as one looked cool, his wife gorgeous, Ebuka the hunk didn't upstage anyone this time around, but still looked good, he would do pretty well as a model, just in case, his pretty & loveable was besides him.

All in all, it was like a fairy tale wedding. Romance was overpoweringly in the air and it radiated well on most.

Check out the gorgeous pictures.
