Instantly He Knew…She Is The One: Temi Raji & Toni Dawodu Wed

Posted on Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 at 10:45 pm

By Fade Awolesi

Royal colours of purple and gold were chosen to mark this special day as Toni Dawodu and Temi Raji tied the knot. The couple ‘officially’ met about 5 years ago through the groom’s cousin but in the eyes of the groom, he knew she was the one even before then. He had spotted her previously and was thoroughly convinced  that she was his wife to be! He then continuously pestered his cousin for her number and as you can see from these photos. He was indeed right!
In May 2009, the couple got married – Their engagement was held in Lagos while the wedding was at Ansarudeen Mosque in Abeokuta – Ogun State. Followed by a fun-filled reception at Abeokuta Sports Club with King Sunny Ade thrilling wedding guests both young and old. Congrats to Toni and Temi – wishing them all the very best in life and in love!

having a nikai does not mean you cant wear wedding gowns and suits. Nikai is just joining of two people with 2 or more witnesses.

Lovely photos! Wish the couple a very happy married life together.

But I have to ask: since when did muslim girls start having the white weddings that christian girls have? With the whole shebang of a white dress, bridesmaids, groom in a suit, etc? I thought the muslim ceremony was Nikhai?
