May 5, (THEWILL)- It won’t be wrong to consider the wedding of Adegbola Adedeji and Oyindamola Okesanjo as one of the biggest wedding parties of 2024 so far. A luxury footwear merchant, Taibat Elemosho-Okesanjo who is also a well-known Lagos society woman had begun the advertisement of her daughter’s wedding, months before the actual party, visiting very prominent individuals to solicit for their support in terms of their presence.
First was the mandatory introduction ceremony which is usually a low-key celebration but not Tai as she is fondly called, who went all out to make it a memorable one. She got her retinue of friends to wear her chosen ‘aso-ebi’ ensemble, perhaps to dazzle her in-laws.
Then two weeks after, precisely, about a week ago on the D-day, the traditional wedding engagement and reception talk of the town party was held at the Balmoral Event Centre, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos State.
The star-studded wedding played host to top dignitaries and captains of industries across Nigeria and beyond as Tai and her husband, Abiodun Okesanjo feted their guests with choice wine, exotic food and premium entertainment by Fuji Maestro, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal aka KWAM1. Some of those in attendance were former President Olusegun Obasanjo; Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; his Osun State counterpart, Ademola Adeleke; former Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun and his wife, Funso; Tayo Ayinde, chief of staff to Lagos State governor; Dele Momodu; Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, Afro juju maestro, Shina Peters; Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe and her husband, Kazeem Adeoti etc.
