BN Exclusive: Teju Babyface Oyelakin & Tobi Banjoko’s Dazzling Traditional Engagement & White Wedding – All the Photos
Posted on Monday, September 3rd, 2012 at 4:24 PMBy Damilare Aiki
It’s official, top Nigerian comedian/TV Host, Teju Babyface Oyelakin and his fiancée, model/beauty queen Tobi Banjoko are now husband and wife.
A month ago, BN caught up with the couple just before they said I do and they revealed all the exclusive details of their upcoming nuptials, where the bride-to-be spoke on her romantic proposal. According to her, Teju popped the big question on the world’s most romantic day – Valetine’s Day (2012) at the Southern Sun Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos. Although surprised, Tobi said Yes and from then on, the journey of the soon to be Mr & Mrs began.
Speaking on why he chose to spend the rest of his life with Tobi, in his own words, Teju said “ I felt peace, kind of like the peace of God that passes all understanding”.
Here is a run down on their BIG Day!
White Wedding
The holy solemnization between the couple took place on Saturday 1st September 2012 at the Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja. Dapper in a Navy Blue Taryor Gabriels of Lagos paired with a Russell and Bromley black shoe, Teju Babyface Oyelakin awaited his wife on the altar as she arrived in a mermaid silhouette lace and tulle dress with a lace cape by Nigerian designer Mai Atafo, accessorized with pearl earrings and bracelets and completed her look with a birdcage veil. The couple were joined in holy matrimony by Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Church.
After the church wedding, Teju added a unique touch by whisking his wife away in style. The newlyweds drove to the reception at MUSON Centre with Teju at the reins of the steering wheel. Spotted at the reception were some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry including Richard Mofe-Damijo and his wife, Jumobi, Tee A, Ali Baba – the master of the ceremony, Yinka Ayefele, Kayode Peters, Jedi, DJ Jimmy Jatt and Kunle Afolayan.
The couple cut their fabulous cake created by Nigerian cakes maestro, Cakes by Tosan and sealed it with a kiss.
Traditional Wedding
The traditional wedding of the couple was held on Thursday 30th August 2012 at 10 Degrees, Billings Way, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos. The man of the day, Teju arrived at the venue in a silver EL 550 sport car with Afro Juju music master, Sir Shina Peters.
The bride, Tobi looked gorgeously resplendent in her aso-oke outfit as she danced her way into the venue to meet and be joined together with her husband the traditional way.
We totally love their love, view all the exclusive BellaNaija.com photos.

Taryor Gabriels that was really GOOD on Teju and the Grooms men. i was tripped when i heard he would be getting is wears from a Nigerian Designer. But i must confess i am really tripped by the lovely cloth on them. U Very Good. And 2 the new couples HML
I know bella naija features a lot of weddings but this one really shows people having a good time and it shines through the photos you just want to join in, not the typical high society stuck up kinda thing, congrats to Teju and his beautiful bride.

Awesome…………best wishes to the couple as d embark on the journey of marriage…..God bless ur home.
congrats to Teju n wifey. God bless your home
@ritaonome
i am kinda impressed, it was pretty homely as compared to most wedding’s published here which are still fine but look “plastic”.wishing the couple all the best. i see Koffi…
please what is it with traditional weddings being done at rented venues as compared to what we grew up knowing that traditional weddings are done at the brides home, or a place in her home town if they do not have maximum space in her compound
Choice. If you want to do it at home (in your big nice house with granite marble. LOL,) fine. If you want to do it at a venue, also fine. What hometown? Not everyone goes to the village for it. That village thing is more of a Southern Nigerian thing. Even now, people are doing it where they live to avoid all the travelling and to cut down on village people. We did ours in Lagos (at home) and we are Igbo.
Beautiful wedding, lovely couple…!
Congrats to the couple… What ever happened to “which bride is next” ? No credits to them!!! I believe most vendors are under the WBIN platform.
The Groom and his boys really looked stunning, I must confess.
Somehow, I dont dig Mai Atafo’s wedding dresses o, sincerely.
Overally – lovely, star-studded, well put together wedding. Sopu wey sweet na money kill am o.
HML Tobi & Teju

the engagement cake was made by YINKA ADEYEMO C.E.O Ginamos world. contact ginamo2001ng@yahoo.com. thank you!!!!
wonderful union, God Bless you both….
Nycie wedding.
Gorgeous bride, her slim, tall body makes up for her husband’s shortness…lol She looked great in her dress. Love her hair. The traditional completed everything. They both look like they are having fun, smiling into each other faces, so cute. RMD, is so handsome. Everybody enjoyed themselves. Oh, I love their dsimple cake.
I think the reason RMD was there is because of the movie ‘The Diamond Ring’ where he played Teju’s father. Classic movie back then, great to see they are close. Nice wedding btw….

Please Teju Babyface, that smile, happiness , sheer joy that I see radiating from inside of her, because she is marrying the man of her dreams, must never ever leave your bride’s face. Do have a wonderful married life. Congrats,
