You mean d dreads is off? Wow, impressed! Love Osas’s dress.
Osas looks stunning. Mehn, the dreads gave Gbenro a unique creative look. But Fade makes him look so much younger but he’s looking good. So, none of his Tinsel stars were there. I wonder what happened between him, chris attoh, and UTI.
The sexiest couple don marry. Congrats me and Mrs a Ajibade. I pray Gods blessings in your marriage. Gbenro cut off his dreads? Dat was part of his sex appeal. I used to imagine naughty tins with him during my crushing days pulling on his Samson locks while eh……. Chai, today na Sunday, I no fit complete my sentence.
Osas second dress is too haute. She couldn’t wear it as the first bcos dat can cause d pastor to stammer while officiating dia wedding.
Not feeling her hair. Lace front when pinned looks somehow. She could have gone for a correct updo. . But when u have natural beauty, u can get away wit anytin.
@ esosa
Lol@samson locks. You are funny.
Congrats osas and Gbenro. You both complement each other. Gbenro looks better with his dreads, it brought out his creativity more. Maybe he just tired of the comparison with Uti. New beginnings, new life. May God bless both as you enter this new journey. Simplicity/elegance is not cheap either. Just bcos you don’t see shineshine, bling bling doesn’t mean this couple didn’t spend a lot of their hard earned money. They just did it their own way and focused on celebrating their love and having fun together. The funny part is, this couple is everywhere without been overthetop.
Instead of breaking your bank account or money that you don’t have for a wedding that doesn’t guarantee happy marriage or undying love. Be wise, invest in important valuable things like buying your home, education, savings etc Don’t try to outdo another, spend within your means.
oversabi na wetin dey kill babes on their wedding day.
Uti Nko?
Abi dem don fight?
She looks flawless….. Osas is a fine girl eieio!
Adams Oshobaba for marry you, free that girl from Cape Verde!
Uti is part of the Nollywood meets Hollywood in La. It Uti his father why should he be there !??? This is a wedding. For goodness sakes focus on the couple and leave everyone els out.
Waoh Gbenro dropped his dreads gud for him. Symbolic leaving the dreads with his past, to face a new beginning. Mes respects dude. Wishing u guys all the best
Yay! Noicceeee! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures.
The dada nkor? Am impressed! !!
“I am” or “I’m”…just saying
At the end of the day, U understood what he/she is trying to say. Smh #teamtoomuch#
Lol @ ” DADA” I can’t recall when last I heard that word 🙂
All hype…at the end of the day, na David’s bridal type wedding dress . Fake celebs and their internet blog fame.
She looks absolutely stunning in that dress! Stop shamming people, this is 2015! At the end of the day, it’s how much happiness and love in your home that matters. Not the dress, shoes or all the things of the world. She’s a celebrity and she is a human being.
Hi April! I follow you on install, you’re a really cool Nigerian, your fitness posts are inspiring and the way you did your wedding was really cool and different. You have a fan here. #okBye
*Instagram* not install
hian, what is it???
I see people are disappointed about osas and gbenro’s wedding bcos it’s not as extravagant as the hype around it . To me, it shows how down to earth, simple the couple is at the end of the day. They are living according to what they can afford and not doing unnecessary show off. Osas still looks beautiful and gbenro looks handsome. Congrats and wishing them all the best.
so because they are celebs they cannot wear davids bridal kmt. People like you will not make us move forward
I don’t like to use the word hater but ma’am you must have drank too much haterade today. What if it’s a David’s bridal dress? Is it your money? She bought a dress she likes and can afford.
It’s people like you that put pressure on these celebrities to go above and beyond their pockets to impress faceless people like you.
Guys ,….chill…. The designer said it on Instagram “Osas asked for a SIMPLE dress…..”
Its her wedding …Stop using Panadol for her headache… Biko
Real celeb, why’s this hype paining you?!
It’s so sad, the competition among Nigerians is sickening. This type of mentality is what is messing up that country you can’t celebrate smth that isn’t flashy. So, many Nigerians go financially bankrupt for their wedding bcos this person wants to outdo another so their wedding can be talk of the town instead of focusing on important future investment. Most of those bella naija weddings are connected to excess government money or borrowed money just to show off. Then they go back to their normal lives looking for ways to pay back the borrowed loan.
I respect this couple more since their traditional and now white wedding. One thing, I noticed is that they focused on their love for each other and from families/friends. They kept it simple and having fun which says a lot about them. Another thing is, elegance/simplicity is actually expensive but those who are narrow minded don’t get it bcos they are looking out for flashiness/emptiness. Osas and Gbenro are a simple, down to earth and humble couple. And wise, they are looking beyond the hyped wedding even though they are celebrity in their own right and aired it on TV.
P.S they still managed to be the talk of the town without been flashy.
And what in the world is wrong with Davids bridal???!! Nigerian Women!! That’s why the world tags most of Naija women as fake. Its about how she looks in it and not if its some designer! My Goodness! Just be happy for a couple people. Can’t Deal! God bless the Couple biko!
the kind Igbo face wey dey this Ubi guy face no be small
Bet he never told you he was an American now? *in Pete Edochie voice
See who’s talking about looks, what are you insinuating? Show your face that looks Yoruba as it can be and we know what that looks like..smh
Igbo boys and igbo girls are the finest and you know it.
Deception is a major disease. Anyone who believes this must focus on two things in their life.
Learning to accept hard truth even when it hurts.
A visit to the eye doctor is crucial.
Sure. Whatever makes you sleep at night.
It’s not just an Igbo face. Ubi face is forever razz. And he wears the best designer clothes, tailored for his height but still look like a village boy who shopped for second hand. Some folks can’t help it.
The Ubi guy is actually from Cross River. Shame on all of you for displaying your insecurity and jealously towards Igbos. You can’t compete with the Igbos, not in the looks department for sure. Please take a cool aid for your ignorance.
Some Nigerians believe if you are not yoruba, or Hausa you must be Igbo. I don’t know what they are teaching in Social studies or Geography classes these days..
This Praiz’s goatie is getting too ridiculous?
I swear!!!! Painfully RIDIC.. Imagine him eating okoro or Ogbono smh
LOL!!! Just had a mental picture… a shower cap for the beard perhaps?
The beards on Praiz…… Uuuugggghhh!!!
Beautiful couple
woah.. he really did.. He looks good.x
Cool

Osas the Slayer!!!Gbenro is one lucky guy,i wish you two a blessed union
Ehen I forgot to famz my Igala brother….Praiz for the ladies,lol
Gbenro loooòkssss soo good without the dreds. What a difference? and my Edo sister Osas? i salute A perfect example of “less is more” simple yet elegant. There is something refreshing about them two, congrats Osas and Gbenro?.
Not to be a contrarian, I think he looks just as good with or without them
LMAO @ Dada. People still call dreadlocks that in 2015?
Congrats Osas. Easily my fave celeb.
You know Dada is Yoruba for dreadlocks right? Lol
Lol @ your name Agidi_Jollof. I love Osas too and I miss Soji in Tinsel
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD”.
No more Dreads! New beginings. Congratulations
A man in love! Osas dear, you are blessed!
For a minute I thought he was Christ Attoh whatever his name is
Chris
@agidijolof, that’s actually Yoruba word for dread lock!.
Gbenro should have cut his hair before the trad…he was looking off in his agbada with his dread. Hmm to them
What’s all this lies about him looking Better without the dreds. Why can you people be honest for once! He looks ridiculously plain and unattractive!!! Ahh. Ahh! The dreds gave him a very nice look. He is uglier without them! ABEG BE HONESt!!! Happy married life to them .
Aren’t people no longer entitled to their opinions? Is it okay if I also told you to stop with the lies and be honest because I think he looks better and more gentlemanly without the dreads? Seriously, the way some of you drag others for stating contrary opinions is sickening. Chill biko, it’s not that deep.
They aren’t lies, he looks better.
He’s always looked very plain to me, lacks finesse and sophistication. I’m not a fan of his looks, not sure what the hype is about..
This Ijeoma sounds like a scorned ex or wannabe, you are all over the thread about how you are not a fan of his looks. Na by force? Babe, resolve your issues before it resolves you, hehehe
So you want her to go into debt to impress who? You? the girl looked beautiful in her white dress! & her hot husband! She does not have to wear VeraWang or Oscar de la renta to impress you! Congrats Osas! You look beautiful. don’t mind all these faceless trolls. #shameToBadPeople #oshisco
where are the families of bride and groom?
These aren’t complete pictures. Wait for those first.
Ohhhhhh Lord bless their union why do I feel like he removed the dreads as a gift for Osas awwwwwwwwwwwwww love is strong ?????? abeg for the people that are always mentioning the guy’s past what did he ever DOooooooooo? Gist those of us that don’t know
Really??? @ jist those of us that don’t know…how will that information benefit you??? Take a hike jor.
What will gist of his past(if any) do for your life?
Happy married life to them. The groom looks much better with dreads
God bless these two. . . My fave couple, Osas; she’s so adorable and Gbenro; u still remain my crush!!! HML
Congrats Osas and Gbenro. Now that u r married pls let those credits (u know whose) stop dropping into ur account. HML
What? Why do people say half gist about these two. If you are going to say something just say it all the way or shut up. Which shows people don’t have much of the dirty secret they portray but just want to get attention.
Congrats Osas and Gbenro. Now that u r married, Osas, pls let those credits (u know whose) stop dropping into ur account. HML
Am so happy for them may God bless deir union and dey shall growbold togeda ijn
Where is uti????
But on a more serious note: where are Uti and Alex Ekubo? No shows for both trad and white? Is there beef? Someone serve this tea!!
Lol! Nigerians are funny sha. Who knows what you wore on your wedding day? Even if you wore Vera wang,we don’t know because you are a celebrity. But Osas IS a celebrity and we know her name and her face. How some people take panadol for other peoples’ headaches is beyond me. You will have so many issues in your life,no petrol in your car(fuel scarcity) ,no light in your house etc and you will come and be vexing untop another person’s wedding gown. Na wa o
*not a celebrity
Those asking about Uti and Co, these are not all the pictures na. Wait before you jump into conclusion. Before you break ya leg
Where is that Tinsel girl that was posting her pictures all over the place? Linda Ejiofor or so. I thought it was the wedding she came for. Where is Uti? Have they quarelled? He wasn’t in the trad either.Wishing them a happy married life but I feel gbenro is to razz for Osas.
Eat your feeling! There is no home for them here
Beautiful couple, love at its peak. This is a true celebration of love and they did it their way. Vera Wang means nothing! See the trail of broken marriages dressed in Wang that are behind and in front of us! Money is not the be all! God is love. Think!
The reception dress is gorgeous, very detailed and i love !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … please who made the wedding dress ? it oozes cheap mehn , finishing looks poor . Congrats Osas and Hubby, God bless you both .
That second dress is the truth! HML to you both!
@ angry calabar girl, MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!! I love her second dress and wish she had worn that to the church. The beading is so beautiful
What is wrong with Praiz?
I like you a lot, but you look awful with that forest.
DEFORESTATION PLEASE!!!
Gbenro looks different and good. Time to look like a man. God bless their union.
I have an honest question, why did they get married in New York?
Because that’s where the bride family is based
Because they wanted to.
Just because they wanted to….#lobatan#
maybe because she was born there and grew up there, and that’s where her friends/family live? maybe.
I guess cos Osas is a U.S. citizen n would benefit d kids in future. Besides they had their traditional marriage in Naija so I support the move.
Hi Nma, I am a U.S citizen and I had all my wedding ceremonies in Nigeria. Where you get married has nothing to do with your children. Even if she has her children in Nigeria, as long as she is a U.S citizen, her kids are automatically citizens. I guess she just wanted to do the ceremonies separate so that everyone in her life can get the chance to experience her wedding.
Osas’s family s based in the US, she grew up der,n even won a beauty pageant contest(cant remember d name)….
Because she was born and raised there, that ‘s her home
Osas was born, raised and still lives in New York. She travels back and forth from Nigeria to NY. It’s nice for your state to recognize/acknowledge your marriage for various important reasons. Also, most of her family and friends are in the states, easier for them to attend her wedding.
hmmm…I thought Osas was born in naija tho….but okay
Osas is an american citizen, if she gets married in the US , the laws apply to her marriage . God forbid but in case of divorce and infidelity and the likes . i reject it for them in Jesus name sha.
happily ever after things
Handsome groom.. very dapper. And sleek.
The second dress is even more beautiful..
Osas and Gbenro look great together! Her dresses are beautiful. Simple and gorgeous looks. God bless your home. Look forward to seeing the beautiful babies they’ll bring forth. BTW, Praiz you used to be a fine boy o! But I don’t understand the beards. It’s too much! You now look like a BH member o! Pls, trim the beards mbok!!!
if you dont know anything about gbenro, just know this: he’s the most down to earth person I have ever met. I wish them well.
All of you expecting heaven on earth wedding saying this and that, maybe you should wait till it’s your wedding and let’s see if you can afford all the luxury. And i hope you don’t go soliciting for funds that you can’t pay soon. When all the guests you are hoping to please leave, call mama and papa, bros, uncle screaming help!!!! I need money. Rubbish! This is beautiful people. Happy married life to you both. I’m enjoying my own
such a lovely couple…. God bless their union!!
The simplicity of this wedding made me love them even more. Happy married life to you both and Gbenro looks good without the dreads.
Congrats to them both. They set themselves up for people to criticize by 1. allowing the media to run round hills about their relationship, courtship/engagement 2. Having the ceremony in New York. But once again congrats to the couple
Isn’t this a couple that just wedded properly? This goes to show that they are still good Benin girls, she didn’t have to break anybody’s home to be happy unlike the story I just read on Laila’s blog. Rubbish
Her second dress is the business! Simply breathtaking. Wishing both of them a very happy marriage.
This babe looks way too mature and classy for this dude. He doesn’t exude sophistication or maturity and just wearing a nice suit doesn’t cut it. Not trying to play the devil’s advocate but I’m not a fan of his looks either..
Who asked you or who cares if you are a fan of his looks?! Yeye dey smell, some people are really full of themselves
Awww he cut his hair for his big day! Love will make you do it all lol.. I hope he grows it back though
thatsjusttutu.com
Mai Atafo designed the couple’ s outfits……he even mentioned on his page that she wanted a simple dress……..it is not from David’s bridal!
Annie Idibia looks so shabby… what’s up?
The 3rd dress head tie is d off!!! Not good @ all
So that’s them? They were everywhere on my TL had to check them out. Those Blue suits are hella dope
So who don’t have enough money to buy US ticket or who couldn’t get a visa for Osas wedding should ‘winchie’ come by force? Tinsel stars were at her traditional marriage. Others may be occupied with activities.Plus they don’t have to be there. Anyway, I think I like Gbenro dreaded. His dada fit am , but I also like the fact that he cut it for love . Very sweet of him. Congrats to them and I pray it lasts o.
1. Most of Osas family and friends are in the U.S. She grew up there. 2. Lagos drama and wahala would have been too much. 3. Because they darn well can. 4. I’m not a spokesperson for the family! 😀
Lovely wedding. HML. Nice hair cut.
Congrats Gbenro and Osas… Knew Gbenro back at Benue state university and he is the most down to earth guy I ever met at the time. My sister had come to visit me and was carrying a bad of goodies for me. Now we were not the closest buddies or anything but he came and took the bag from her and carried it all the way to the second campus were I resided….. Very gentleman like and I pray he carries that on to this marriage. Congrats once again guys!!!!
Bag of goodies o, not bad..smh
Frank Ubi is Cross River, not Igbo. Oya kill urself
Don’t mind those shameless people, displaying their insecurity and jealousy towards Igbos. They know they can’t compare with Igbos in the looks department. In short any department as a matter of FACT
abeggi. close ya mouth. who be ibos? piece of proud people with nothing only stealing sense
wanted to dedicate this song: Let Them Say (Onyeka Onwenu + King Sunny Ade) but can’t find it anywhere online. help, anyone?
“ma da won lohun o. let them say o. jeje life na im we want. i no go lie o, i love you well well, make we try make life better.”
So, back up plan: Sweet Love (Show Dem Camp)
awww, these people are too cute.
Oh! Gbenro you are so fine without that artificial Dada’s style.. Keep it up. Congratulations.
The dreads is actually his natural hair.
If you’re not born a ‘dada’ Yoruba’s will forever refer to your dreads as artificial..hehehe
to the commenter that says she s too matured and the guys look s to simple for her. in a nutshell you are saying he married his aunty and too mamaish or werin. anyway she looks older than him. but they love each other thats what counts. congrats.
Mai Atafo, you no try at all. You know everyone would be watching to see the bride’s dress and this is what you come up with? I am not refering to the simplicity of this dress cos u say thats what she wanted, but the fitting is very poor. The concept could have been executed better. You have blown your chance of having more customers o!
meanwhile gbenro is a gorgeous, polite, down to earth fellow with a good heart and smart girl knows it. So you go find yo own dude that fits your ideal of urban and whatever.
THAT 2ND DRESS SHOULD HV BEEN THE WEDDING DRESS, ITS FAR BEAUTIFUL…GOD BLESS THEIR UNION!
Cutting his dreads is what I call MARRIED WITH A BANG.I guess that was a gift to her. I love the wedding. They made it about them and not the flamboyance. Simple and reasonable. Wedding in naija for him and Newyork for her. God bless their home. GbenroOsas2015.
2nd dress”s killing… dnt understand d third though
EXACTLY missatl… that second dress was IT for me… i don’t think i like Osas” overall wedding wardrobe (but for that second dress) first the makeup artists for both her trad and white weddings did a terrible job. I saw the pictures on intagram and wasn’t impressed at all. I am Edo and i know how boring that our red wrapper attire looks so if you don’t GET the look funny. Osas has what i call deceptive beauty, WOW is come pictures and just there in others. This is one day she should look WOW… not overly expensive but WOW… Oh well HML to them …
To those who will come with the whole hater rant save it… if they didn’t want criticism they should have done like Mila and Ashton and done a quiet wedding,
Na wa for some Nigerian women sha.
Marry a man much older than you, you be ashawo and golddigger (Iara Oshiomole)
Marry your junior, you be old mama (Lola Okoye)
Marry your baby daddy, you be stupid girl wey no get sense ( Anni Idibia and co)
Marry according to your pocket, you no get class (Osas Ajibade)
Na wa for una o. Not all weddings starts with “boy meets girls, they fall inlove and they marry”. Not everything is in black and white, there are varieties in between. Go for what works for you and leave others to theirs.
Haba!
Wow! i’m late! was surprised that the dread is off….. so cool HML
@Ute, God bless you, I wish I could press like 1000 times, people just criticise just for the sake of critising, how many people can afford to have all those expensive weddings we see on Bella Naija only a few> I know folks are entitled to their opinion but what is wrong with wishing them a genuine Happy married life and move on. Osas looked lovely in her wedding dress and Gbenro looked handsome, I am glad he cut off his dreads.
This girl is stunning mhen!
Love that Gbenro took off the dreaded dreads. Feeling the romance even more.
New chapter
I guess having the wedding in USA is a sutle way of not inviting everyone. The American embassy stringent visa regs solve that problem in contrast to the traditional wedding extravaganza . Good for you guys and HML.
wooow, lovely couple, happy for them, God wil gv me a young bobo like this
so can we talk about the wedding wardrobe??? the dresses, gele, jewelry, etc were kinda off. I am not talking about price or whatever but they just didn’t match properly. like the looks were not properly coordinated. bridesmaids, where were yall to guide the bride??
3rd outfit – gele & makeup looked messy, lets stop fronting.
yes she wanted a simple dress but its not befitting for a bride. remember she is Model abi, so most peeps expected whatever kinda dress she wore to sit on that body properly. I don’t care if she wore walmart bridal or LaGanza Extravaganza, she wasn’t wearing that dress, it wore her.
she didn’t serve me bridal realness, I don’t know, something was off. and please David’s bridal has better looking dresses okay!!
Happy Married life. Gbenro seems like the kinda guy that is judged based on his looks and its sad when people do that. I bet he is one the best behaved and well mannered guys in nollywood.
Gbenro shulda not cut the dreads now….loved it. something mysterious about them and he was like some Sango zegzy gawd with the dreads….lol
Bella where are the remaining pictures! we want more! Haba Bella you can do better, I trust you, awaiting more pictures, thank you in advance.
