The Classic Jewish Wedding of Onyinye and Frank 



*Featured Post

Today’s wedding feature is unique in its own sense as it is the first Jewish wedding in Nigeria. We had to repost it because of it's uniqueness.

All the elements of the wedding are unique, including the floral chuppah, the covering and the Yarmulke especially worn by the groom on top of his head.

This wedding was such a sweet experience as it showcased Jerusalem, and anyone who has ever visited Jerusalem at any point in time would actually have something to think of,  as it will definitely remind them of a moment in Jerusalem.  Blessed experience indeed.

Onyinye has always dreamt of a Cinderella wedding and this actually came to pass on the day of her wedding. Their cake stand was a Cinderella cart, adorned with brightly coloured beautiful flowers. Even their wedding ring was delivered by a horse and a page boy,  as against the normal box commonly seen at Nigerian Weddings.

The hall was beautifully decorated and the event planners and all the wedding vendors were extremely exceptional. The atmosphere was welcoming and the ambience convivial.



The occasion was attended by notable personalities and the guests were well pampered.  And we are sure the guests will remember it for the rest of their lives.

Celebration of a fulfilled life: Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi How does one measure a life well spent? That question appears very simple, but puzzling when closely examined. Is life measured by the actions taken throughout one's lifetime? Or is it measured by the number of challenges a person overcomes in life. Whatever the case may be, both religion and history agree on one fact, a life well spent is that which leaves a positive mark on the sands of time. The much loved 46 year old father, husband, brother, uncle and friend Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi who was born into the family of  Late Pa Elijah Oluwatayo Kuponiyi and Mrs Beatrice Kuponiyi on the 28th of October 1970, impacted many people in the course of his life. Little wonder then that hundreds from far and wide stormed Sagamu, Ogun state to pay their last respects and commiserate with his family during his funeral ceremony, amidst cheers and tears. Cheers because his legacy definitely will live after him and tears because even

Couple uses son as collateral for 8000 naira Family of  Ajala Samuel a 15 year old boy thought they could briefly use him to raise  some money for some urgent family needs. But four months after he has been handled over to a Lagos trader, identified as Iya Meta, who in return gave them N8,000, the boy is no where to be found. Sources confirmed that Iya Meta allegedly loaned Samuel to some other traders on the Lagos Island, who paid even more for the boy, N72,000.  The traders were alleged to have further given him out to another family in the state. It's more like a relay race in which runners pass baton to one another. Two policewomen, identified as Titi and Funmilayo from the Ijora Badia division, were accused of harassing the family to refund the N72,000 paid to Iya Meta, failing which Samuel would be forced to work till October 2017 when the contract would expire. His stepfather, Idowu Isiaka, told PUNCH Metro that the family’s problem started in Jun

Nigerian Traditional Wedding Cakes When it comes to uniqueness and creativity in Nigerian Weddings, our traditional wedding cakes are way ahead of the game. For Cake Makers,  baking a cake for a traditional wedding which is most commonly known as 'engagement' is a time to show off creativity and talents. We know for a certainty that everyone would always look forward to seeing them at these events. In the past, it used to be just common fruit baskets which was quite basic, but now, due to the work of art, traditional cakes are becoming more and more sophisticated, and of course, more interesting. Traditional wedding cakes are usually a showcase of the bride and bridegroom’s culture. So if they are Yoruba,  the cakes usually would showcase Yoruba culture, Yoruba type of clothing and other aspects of Yoruba culture like the Traditional talking drums and the likes. If it's Igbo wedding, the cakes would be baked as appropriate. Nigerian cake makers are really exce
