Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM27640Nigerian Eloho and American Bradley met thanks to the covert matchmaking skills of their mutual friend.

The bride is an internal medicine physician while her Mister is a mechanical engineering PhD Candidate. Three years ago their love story began at a friend Dionne‘s house. Dionne invited Eloho to a game-watch party – the Eastern Conference finals – Heat vs. Pacers on May 26th, 2013, with friends that she met while at Michigan including Bradley, Lilian & Jared.

In the time at Dionne’s house, Bradley was arguing with his lab mate about the game, and barely interacted with anyone else.

Little did they know their host had other ideas that they would make each other’s better half, so she put in their names and numbers in each other’s phones, and let the magic happen from there. Eloho shares,

Bradley texted me that night to say how great it was to meet me, we eventually went on our first date to brunch at Meat and Potatoes and we’ve been together ever since!

The Proposal followed a year and three months after on October 26, 2014. Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM38598Eloho dishes on the ‘hangry’ day that turned into a perfect one –

Friends of ours had invited us out on a double date. Little did I know, Bradley had planned this for months, and secretly invited my best friends and family to Pittsburgh. The night before, we attended a medical gala and went out clubbing afterwards with a group of friends, naturally I was HANGRY (hungry + angry) the morning of and anxious to get to brunch. As we headed out, I noticed Bradley was taking an unusually long route and got annoyed as I was starving! We rode up the historic the Duquesne Incline up to Mount Washington. It was a beautiful sunny day, with a slight chill in the air. As we walked over to the look out to meet our friends, I noticed my dad as he turned around… in shock, I ran up to him, and started noticing familiar faces amongst the sightseers… In that moment I knew!

I turned around and saw Bradley standing in the center of the overlook, walked over, he got down on his good knee….

I still have no idea what he said! I was trembling, he pulled out the perfect round solitaire ring on a knife edge yellow gold band, and I stuck out my right hand, he placed the ring on my finger and the crowd shouted “No, its the left!”

We had an engagement brunch at Altuis immediately after… I couldn’t eat a thing despite my ‘hanger’ from earlier.

It was perfect.

Advice from the Couple

  1. We attended a series of pre-marriage counseling sessions with our priest which was absolutely amazing! You should too. It gave us context to understand some of our differences and to discuss them in a safe space.
  2. Oh, get a wedding planner!!!

Wedding Highlights

  • Our priest totally surprised us and sang John Legend‘s “All of Me” during the service.
  • Another really cute moment was when the ring-bearer handed the ring pillow to Bradley and sprinted down the aisle to the back of the church.

Here’s their beautiful wedding which celebrated Eloho’s Urhobo and Yoruba roots and marked the beginning of their eternity as B and E – their #BEternity – captured by Alakija Studios.

“The white wedding reception was celebrated in an old southern antebellum mansion with large white pillars and ornate fixtures with floor to ceiling windows and lots of natural light.

We wanted the atmosphere to be intimate (despite our 250 guests) Therefore we opted to keep the decor classic and warm with rose pink.”

Traditional Wedding

“For the traditional engagement, we had features of Urhobo and Yoruba traditions from Nigeria. Eloho’s mother is Yoruba and her father is Urhobo, so we wanted features from both cultures.

The theme for the traditional wedding was simple elegance, we chose to use lights as our main form of decor with lighting from the ceiling, candles and mirrors along with the flowers as centerpieces.

The first outfit was the Urhobo George wrapper and cord lace. The wrapper was a silvery lilac with gold embroidery and our tops were made of a blue cord lace with flowery patterns.

The groom sported a cane with a bronze eagle head (and a hidden dagger! – extra surprise we were unaware of when we purchased it!), and a contemporary black wool felt top hat instead of a more traditional bowler hat. He complimented this with gold tassel loafers and coral beads.Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_IMG_7780 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_5875 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_5839 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_5905 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_5914 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_5842 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_IMG_7903 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_IMG_7915 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6026 Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_IMG_7894Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_IMG_7831Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_IMG_7824Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM20715Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM34903Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35942Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36069Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36088Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM34545Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM21281Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM21349Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM34838Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM34835Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM34645Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM34663Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6704Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36013Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36127Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36301Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6395Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35163Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35813Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM21505Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6612Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_IMG_8081Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35243Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35340Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35313Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35392Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35512Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35490Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6362Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35194Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35637Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35462Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6599Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6637Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35773Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35782Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35752Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM35758Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM21542Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM21546Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016_1ME_6720Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36387Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36392Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM20702Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36094Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36114Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36190Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM36135Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM21594Eloho and Brad_Alakija Studios Wedding_BellaNaija Weddings 2016__CM21713For our Yoruba themed outfit, we wore a custom made hand woven aso oke in gold and champagne, with pearl and rhinestone embellishments.
