Wonderful Destination Wedding Of Olu and Nunu in Dubai

via

So much inspiration all in one hot wedding! We love weddings like this. Weddings that makes you feel the impact of the love between the couples. Olu and Nunu's wedding got me teary eyed. I love their beach themed wedding. Simple and surrounded by close family and friends. Their special vows for each other was another aspect that makes you feel the tight bond between this loved up couple.

Who doesn't like a happy ending. There were loads of pictures to choose from but I had to pick my best of the fantastic shots. It was difficult, I tell you. Olu's suit looks on point. Everything looks simply amazeballs. We couldn't let this wedding go past us without knowing the full gist . Happily, Nunu is such a breeze to deal with. Olu is one very blessed man!

HML! Olu and Nunu. May your love be ever green like a tree planted near the river. xx

Name of bride: Shifaa (nickname: Nunu)

Name of groom: Olusegun (nickname: Olu)

We met in university (American University in Dubai) and started dating in April 2010.

I fell in love with Olu because he always challenged me, and got me to understand that one must always challenge themselves. He instilled in me a sense of self-worth and courage that I believe changed my life for the better. And that's an understatement!

Olu was and still is an introvert, and I think he appreciated the lightness I brought in his life.

People often observe that we are complete opposites of each other, but after almost 5 years together, I can honestly say, we have learned to understand and accept each other in a way that brings balance to each other while always respecting our differences.

Olu proposed during Xmas dinner 2013, on front of around 30 people from his family that had gathered together for a Xmas reunion in London.

I was the laziest bride all through prep and Olu turned out to be what his family eagerly dubbed the bridezilla. He was particular about every little detail, and I was sort of like "yeah, whatever you guys like, I'm good with"

Lol. It was an interesting wedding planning period. His sisters Abike (who lives in London) and Ireti (who lived in Abuja at the time) were our powerhouse planners. They got into the country about a week before the big day and took care of everything. I felt so blessed to have such a wonderful bunch of inlaws.

On the day of the wedding, I remember feeling like it was all a dream. How could it be that I had my perfect man, my perfect dress, my nearest and dearest... Everything just circled my head and I thought that at any moment, id wake up. But I didnt. I walked down the aisle of my perfect wedding to my perfect man with tears in my eyes (which I didn't let fall, because that make up was far too costly to ruin!)

The ceremony started and the wedding got better and better with every minute.

Advise To Future Brides( Nunu):

I don't think I'm the best bride to be giving advice, I practically contributed nothing but myself to the day. But I will say this: on the day, none of the little things will matter. In hindsight I remember being adamant on warm lights, but our vendor delivered bright white lights. I remember agreeing to having certain flower arrangements, and on the day the vendor didn't deliver on some minor details. But it was nothing. The important thing was him. And every time we locked eyes, nothing else mattered. So, my dear future brides, I'm not saying don't plan, but I am saying don't forget the most important thing is already sorted

Oh, and spend good money on the photographer/videographer! Trust me, it's worth it!
