You know on this blog, I hardly publish weddings without adding their love story, lol!
The nuptial which took place at the Foursquare Gospel Church, Omole,
Ikeja District Headquarters, was followed with a sumptuous reception at the 10 Degree Events Centre, Oregun, Lagos.
In what may be the most fascinating wedding in Nigeria,
adjudged to be the first in Africa and listed to be the 251st in the
world by the officials of the Guinness Book of World Records, the two
twin couples walked down the aisle on the same day, Saturday, November
30th, 2013 in Lagos.
In what may be the most fascinating wedding in Nigeria,
adjudged to be the first in Africa and listed to be the 251st in the
world by the officials of the Guinness Book of World Records, the two
twin couples walked down the aisle on the same day, Saturday, November
30th, 2013 in Lagos.
The first twin couple – Folawemi Taiwo Okunniyi and Chinonso Akinade
Okueze
Second twin couple – Febisola Kehinde Okunniyi and Chibuzor Adelakin
Okueze, a pharmacologist and accountant.
Folawemi Taiwo Okunniyi and Febisola Kehinde Okunniyi are identical
twin sisters from the same parents and they hail from Ondo State, and
the grooms, Chinonso Akinade Okueze and Chibuzor Adelakin Okueze are
also identical twins from the same parents from Asaba, Delta State.
During the church
wedding, officials of the Guinnes Book of World Records acknowledged
that they have never had any record or history of twins marriage in
Africa.
Speaking at the wedding, one of the grooms, Chinonso, said their wedding wasn’t an “arranged one” as widely stipulated.
He said“When I saw Fola, I was struck. Unlike what
many think that ‘Kehindes’ are always faster, I was sharper than him. I
started dating Fola first, but one day, I noticed that he was going out,
but he didn’t tell me where he was going. That was so strange so I
decided to find out where he was going, and I realised he was visiting
the Okunniyis. He later told me he likes Febi, and I told him it was
okay that he should stick to her, because I already had my eyes on
Fola.”
Chibuzor also re-iterated his twin brother’s claim that the joint
wedding wasn’t initially planned.
“We thank God and
give Him all the glory. I pray that this ‘friendship’ that has started
today will last for a very long time,” he enthused.
“This is awesome. It’s great being
brothers and brothers-in law to each other at the same time, and
vice-versa”
The newly weds will be
living together in their new apartment at highbrow
estate along Berger bridge, Lagos.
KFB wishes them all the best!
