Mercy Johnson is likely to put on the Badgley Mischka A-Line Empire Waist embellished top tiered skirt dress. She is busty and that will definitely inform her choice of dress to wear on her BIG DAY. Am happy for the two of them. I wish you girls happy married life.

all i know is that mercy should not subscribe to the strapless dress fad. she is full at the top n it may look tacky
i love the ellie saab and the lhuillier
Elpee
June 21, 2011 at 4:48 pm
I have a very strong feeling she will have on a strapless dress and her lace front plus weird makeup

All gowns are beautiful for mercy d monique lhuillier mermaid dress will luk gud on her or d Ellie saab and for Steph d khosiba gown or the Vera Wang sheath gown will be perfect on her
Tiki
June 21, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Monique Lhuillier for Stephanie, she has the height and bone structure (and I hope, the poise!) to carry that long silhouette off, and I think Mercy’s curves would take the Elie Saab to another level…hope they see this!!

Mercy will make a mess of it…IMO

June 21, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Mercy Johnson is gonna be wearing none of the above. lol.
as for Stephanie, i have no idea, but i hope its something that works with her tall frame.
IDK
June 21, 2011 at 4:41 pm
Lol. You read my mind. Cmon now. Mercy Johnson would be wearing house of Nwocha.
Elpee

i wud hav luvd 4 mercy 2 get her dress custom-made by some one like Kosibah or Monique lhuillier (she’s known to make gorgeous bt modest gowns, which is what a bride should wear) cos of her unique body shape. Stephenie can rock dat pnina Tornia embellished gown
Mary
June 21, 2011 at 4:03 pm
mercy will be wearing something close to the “princessque” ball gown, in order to flaunt her curves which she has no apology for, while for stephenie, i will say the badgley mischka a line, will do justice to her class.

Those gowns were clearly made for skinny girls, and both Mercy and Stephanie happen to be women with curves.
Anita
June 21, 2011 at 5:04 pm
I suggest MAI for mercy and Vera Wang for Stephenie
Ms Fusspot
June 21, 2011 at 5:17 pm
They both need a darned good stylist and the special grace of Almighty God to look anywhere near classy…
luchi
June 21, 2011 at 5:33 pm
all the best to both of them, they both have nice shapes, i just hope mercy wont wear something too revealing cos thats how she likes to dress up, i think whateva steph wears will suit her just fine, all in all, its how u carry urself dat day that matters. Mercy, plsssssssssssssssss! nothing tooooooooooooo tight, dont try to cut off ur circulation that day.

I am IN LOVE with the Monique Lhullier dress!!! Stephanie would look lovely in most of those gowns. Mercy just needs to be conscious of her voluptuous figure and dress appropriately.

OMG I love that elie saab dress. Tried it when i was searching for a wedding dress but it was wayyyyyy above my budget!! Lovely Dress

Funmi

Mercy is likely to wear Elie by Elie Saab Chantilly lace & Pure silk wedding dress. While Steph is likely to wear Vera Wang – White for David’s Bridal Grecian Inspired Sheath Wedding Dress.
Tomie
June 22, 2011 at 12:55 pm
I can tell that Mercy would be wearing a dress that would show off some skin, that’s the kind of person she is after all.
Anna Fashionista
June 22, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Stephenie please do the Monique Lhuillier mermaid dress with off-shoulder sleeves, its just perfect for your body type and as for Mercy J..sweetheart(in Beyonce’s voice) the Elie by Elie Saab Chantilly lace & Pure silk wedding dress will do you justice. Take it on galfriend

i just wish both of them should be fashion conscious on dat day!
Orexy
June 22, 2011 at 4:26 pm
Honestly, I think a simple A-line dress would suit Mercy, she must learn to carry herself with some class and that’s not by revealing too much cleavage. As for Steph, she can carry off the mermaid style dress because she has just the right curves to pull it off.
I wish them both a happy married life.

Ok… I dont know about all the dresses in these pics… I wont go for any per say…
I think both should be creative and do something that suits them and makes them happy…
It ur your day and whatever u want so should be IT, providing that it looks great on u and adds to the value of ur figure and the day. Ur men should be in awe at the sight of the dress u are in and everything else including make-up and accessories.
I do believe Steph can rock anything and she does have a classy sophisticated touch to her. I know she is likely to dazzle and take the show on the day.
Mercy, I believe u in u sister, and although ur fashion has been critizied for a long time now, it can be easily improved.. Whatever u choose to wear, wear something u know u are proud of and will show the pics to ur kids and grand-kids someday with admiration.

For Mercy Johnson: Since she is a full-
figured woman, the
best silhouette is
the Off-shoulder gown which looks
wonderful on a full bust. It
draws our attention
upward, emphasizes the
shoulders and minimizes
the chest. She should Keep her skirt
narrow. Wearing a full skirt
will make her look large
both on top and bottom.
Show off her arms, back
and a little bustline.
A corset-style bodice with
lacing will highlight her
upper body.
For. Stephanie Okereke: The empire waist is another
good choice. The empire is
narrowest just below the
bust, which conceals your
waist and hips.

June 27, 2011 at 12:08 pm
Princessque ball gown or stnning trumpet/mermaid will suits Steph alot while Elie by Elie Saab will really compliment Mercy’s figure.
princess
June 27, 2011 at 3:25 pm
My advice to Mercy Johnson is dat she shouldn’t forget to wear a necklace as she is fund of not wearing one. i wnt her to be different. Stephanie congrats gurl. Jst make sure u are confortable as regards wat u will be wearing on ur leg. As for d gowns wear smefin dat fits u and u wuld look gud in.

Badgley Mischka A-Line Empire Waist embellished top tiered skirt dress for Mercy while Stephanie should go on Monique Lhuillier mermaid dress with off-shoulder sleeves bcos of her height. Congrat 2 both of u.

June 28, 2011 at 12:35 pm
I FEEL DUE TO THEIR BODY SHAPE THEY SHOULD BOTH WEAR A CLASSIC A-LINE

June 29, 2011 at 10:53 am
Okay like seriously if Mercy does not get a good stylist after this then i’m sorry for her. Nd yes we have celebrities in Nigeria for those who are still clueless.
I expect Steph to wear an Elie by Elie saab chantilly lace & pure silk kind of dress, it would do justice to those slim curves she keeps hiding behind her boyfriend inspired outfits.
As for mercy, our only hope is that her priest or pastor has warned her not to come in with any off shoulder dress, that will help eliminate our first worry. A dress along the line of Monique’s mermaid dress will kill it and i’m glad others think so. Yes Mercy u can return the one u already bought, they surely do 21 days refund.
michelle
June 29, 2011 at 3:17 pm
stephanie should go for the Alita Graham A-line textured detail wedding dress cus of her figure. while i think mercy would opt for the Monique Lhuillier mermaid dress with off-shoulder sleeves because of her figure

I think the ladies are really good looking, their shape and every about them are ok. I suggest the use the fourth and fiveth dresses b/cos it will bust out their shape,and also that day is for them ,so they need to look gorgeous and tantalizing.

Badgley mischka A-line weddin dress is perfect for steph okereke cos of her slim figure while phina mermaid or princesseque ball gown is perfect for mercy johnson cos she is busty ₪ d dresses will help conceal her boobs ₪ she has dis amazing hips she ll look perfect in any of does gowns!

The “vera wong grecian” gown looks more like a red carpet event gown that a bridal gown plus the model looks very sad “sad bride” *shudders* . Anyway MJ should stay away from the mermaid gowns, the lazaro ballgown” would be best. For stephanie, i think the “eli saab erato” gown would be great.
