Loving You Always: Olaitan Osholake & Akinade Eboda Wed
Posted on Friday, March 1st, 2013 at 12:47 PMBy BellaNaija.com
It’s Friday and it is the 1st day in March 2013…A new month represents a new beginning, just like a wedding represents the start of a new lifetime of love and commitment. Olaitan Osholake and Akinade Eboda met in church 10 years ago. The future groom was leading the praise and worship session and his future bride felt an instant connection. She tells us “God was speaking to me so after service I approached him to start a conversation.” The soulmates have been inseparable since then.
On the 11th of February 2011, Olaitan was at home and though she had imagined and anticipated this momentous event, she was totally surprised by what happened next. Her beau Akinade came in and started giving a speech…she kept wondering – “what’s this about?” and then he was on his knees asking her to marry him! She started crying and of course, she said YES.
Olaitan and Akinade said “I Do” in their special autumn-inspired paradise! It was a dream come true as family and friends celebrated with the couple in style. The orange and cocoa tones created a warm and upscale ambiance which set the mood for the day. Olaitan was a beautiful bride in her stunning strapless lace dress with flower appliqué and crystal beading while Akinade looked sleek in his blue suit with black lapels paired with a striking bow-tie which matched his wife’s luxe bouquet. Tears fell from the bride’s eyes as she walked down the aisle with her father and saw her groom alongside his best man – their young son. From there, it was a day of bliss and celebration as every element of their wedding turned out even more beautiful than envisioned!
BN wishes Olaitan and Akinade a blessed life together filled with love and joy always.

nice wedding
Beautiful wedding, beautiful people!!! I love Nigerian weddings that are conducted abroad. They always so beautiful, classy and most importantly, you can have effective crowd control. I wish I could have my wedding here in the US where I reside BUT, there is just that something about a Nigerian wedding conducted in Nigeria. And that, I don’t wanna miss.

God bless you guys!
Congratulations to the couple!

Beautiful couple, faces n decorations. HML! Well, did anyone notice the carton with a yam inscription on it? http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BellaNaija-Weddings-Olaitan-Osholake-Akinade-Eboda-Traditional-Engagement-March-2013-BellaNaija035.jpg
lol..yeah that is how they ship yams into the US. If you buy yams in bulk, you will prolly get it in this type of box (carton). Ha! it’s been a while I heard the word carton. Mehn, I miss naija and the original British English. This yanky people with them fake english…lol. They call it box. If you say carton now, they will look at you strangely just like the way I always fool around with people and say zebra crossing (instead of crosswalk) or pram (instead of stroller)
@t As in, British English is still in ma system..
beautiful

Happy Married Life to the couple!
This was a very beautiful wedding. I was there live and every single moment was fun and interesting. The color combinations were very beautiful…There wasn’t the usual naija bridesmaid stress (i was a bridesmaid), it was smooth. Weddings in naija are interesting but this wedding beat those in naija anytime, anyday
