Reception Time! Glam Decor
Beautiful Guests Arriving
The couple changed into Ubi’s traditional attire for their dancing entrance with their groomsmen, also in traditional, and bridesmaids in lilac and silver sequin dresses.
Then it was time for Lilian and Ubi to cut and feed each other the eight tier crystal and fondant cake! Ushbebe oversaw this cute part of the wedding.
The couple had their first dance, with best man and Triple MG artiste Iyanya‘s sweet serenade in the background.
Lilian changed into her third dress of the day, a long sleeve blue lace dress. The best man and maid of honor gave their speeches, then toasted to the newlyweds.
Soon after, guests sprayed Lilian and Ubi and artistes including 2face, Tekno and Banky W performed. Lilian also got sexy for her husband, as she shimmied while he sat in a chair.
Lilian changed into her fourth and final look of the night, a pink dress, while her guests mingled. KCee performed, then the newlyweds danced into the night with their friends.

1.beautiful wedding, hml, and may you love, trust and understand eachother, for better or for worse, may honest friendship continue to cement your union. In one of the pic i saw teary eyes, its heart warming and shows that truly she is his last bus stop. Beautiful.
2.The pic with iyanya stephanie, and the girl iyanya is holding looked like a beautiful family pic… awww tears.
3. while watching the video i thought it was funny how the tuface child kept telling the girl to keep the mircrophone on her daddy, she even patted her on the chest as to say ” its okay your turn will come”..l ol all joking stuff.

Big congrats to the couple and everything looked like a very classy affair and all BUT don’t know why or what it is but grooms turning to a silly puddle of tears at the altar just peeves me to no end lol like I told my hubby please don’t do it. Just resist the urge you can do it (yous a big boy etc). It just does not impress me. But then again that might just be me. As an aside – Tiwa does she go around with a bodyguard everywhere she goes these days? . Everyone looks great!
