The wedding which held on June 8-10 2023 in Lagos Nigeria was a tornado that almost melted the Internet.
The strictly-by-invite ceremonies attracted a huge turn-out of Nigerians from the United States of America. Why? Well, the bride, former Dr Toyin Ramon aka Dr Tee Glamm, a mental health professional, who lives and works in Houston, Texas has many friends and associates who love her.
Now addressed as Dr Mrs. Toyin Oladejo, she calls the shots at Sparks Psychiatry Clinics which is scattered around Texas, Minnesota and Arizona.
The traditional wedding between Dr Tee and Hon. Seye Oladejo kicked off on Thursday June 8, 2023.
A fashionista of note, Dr Tee set the ball rolling with her coral/diamond neckpiece which she wore on beautiful gold attire. The custom-made jewellery remains a cynosure of eyes. The ‘Eru Iyawo’ (bride price items) which the groom’s family brought attracted attention what with the Louis Vuitton Luggage boxes and a drone which ushered in the proposal letter to the bride’s family. Another luggage box was filled with dollar bills for the bride.
By Saturday morning, the buzz was all over town that #seyestolove# was a bomb, especially with the traditional wedding disco gig of June 8, which witnessed hip hop artiste, Nairamarley thrilling guests at the Marriot Hotels, GRA Ikeja, Lagos.
By 10 am, celebrities, friends and family members, thronged the Whitestone Event Place to celebrate with the couple at the white wedding officiated by Dr Shola Adeoye, a minister of God based in the United States.
The Wedding Dress
As a matter of fact, Dr Tee confessed she went shopping for her bridal dress in Kosovo. Sewn by the popular Albanian dressmaker, Valdrin Sahiti, Dr Tee became one of the few Nigerians to order wedding dresses from the couturier.
She wrote while she went for the fitting in Kosovo, “Traveled to Kosovo to order my wedding dress. People thought I was insane for going to a recently war stricken country. I was nervous but I knew what I wanted. Albanians are wonderful people. Loved my dress— end of story! #weddingtip- you can get designer dresses for almost half price if you go to their country to order. Be intentional about what you wear and how you look while saving $$$$.”
The Décor
If guests were enthralled by the décor of white roses which filled the hall and petals, then they were wowed beyond reasoning when the reception hall was thrown open. It was a crystal themed décor. From the roof to the tables, the hall sparkled. Sources close to the couple revealed it must have cost N40million to have that décor in place!
Wedding Cakes That Wowed All
The peach/cream gigantic cake for the engagement ceremony on Thursday was a sight to behold. Even with the large chunks given to guests, it was still looking like a peach mountain by the time the traditional wedding was over.
But wait till Saturday.
The wedding cake was a story on its own. According to Dr Tee, it was symbolic and every detail of the ‘mighty’ cake had a message to relay.
With an angelic figure with wings staring at you in the face, every part of the cake was edible! Designed and baked by Finaltouch Cakes, the baker confessed it cost N20million to have that massive structure of sugar icing. He also confessed he spent six months preparing the cake.
