Laide & Eloho: Love made in Heaven

Laide and Eloho Okiomah's traditional wedding took place on Saturday 8th September 2012. It was an emotional laden ceremony witnessed by close family and friends. From the prayers said to the tears shed, the emotions, and outpouring of love was too palpable. The bride and groom looked respledent in ivory and magenta aso-oke before changing into Isoko attire of gold and turquoise. Splashes of deep purple dotted the entire wedding venue.

The beautiful blend of two different cultures, Yoruba and Isoko made this ceremony very special, the Yoruba with their aso-oke and the Isoko with their two wrapper and walking stick. The alaga iduro, Yoruba for the Host/MC/Compere handled the event with such grace and did a good job fusing both cultures.

Eloho proposed to Laide on Valentine's Day, 14th of February 2012 . According to Laide, he had taken her for a drink on the evening of Valentine's day and somehow arranged with the waiters to slip the engagement ring in the drink. As she downed the drink she noticed there was something at the bottom of the glass and when she found out it was a ring, Eloho went down on one knee and popped the question. The rest, of course is history.
