The Couple’s Love Story
Dunnie and Tunde met when the groom had just moved back to Nigeria in 2011. They were introduced by Tunde’s friend, Charles, who coincidentally is married to the bride’s cousin. Although the couple hung out a lot at the time, they didn’t date until late 2013, after Tunde had moved back to the US.
The Marriage Proposal
The Bride
I went visiting during the summer, his siblings and the both of us took a weekend trip to South Carolina. On our way back, we all stopped at the Atlanta Botanical Garden for sightseeing. I should have known something was up because Tunde was all sweaty and nervous, but i just assumed it was the heat. Whilst we were posing and taking pictures, he starts this speech about how he feels about me and then goes down and pops the question with. I just started laughing immediately because it was really funny and sweet seeing this guy who acts all macho and tough being sweaty and nervous on his knees. I did say Yes afterwards.
Wedding Inspiration
Bride
We wanted the wedding reception to be fun and memorable for us, so we decided to have a masquerade party similar to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Tunde grew up there so it was fun incorporating that into the wedding. The after party coupled with the confetti blast got everyone excited.
