The traditional wedding commenced at 12 noon and featured a beautiful display of cherished Yoruba customs and traditions. The ceremony was anchored by the globally recommended Alaga and compere, Jide Gold Alaga, whose energetic coordination added colour and excitement to the occasion.
A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY OF YORUBA TRADITION
One of the major highlights was the formal arrival of the groom and his entourage. Prince Adeniyi Adeyanju Amusa, accompanied by his friends dressed in elegant Agbada attire, paid homage to the bride’s family in keeping with Yoruba tradition.
