#LexyLabs17: The Creme-Creme Of The Nigerian Society Lights Up The Sijuwade/Folawiyo Royal Wedding

 
Last Saturday, 4 March, 2017, the Lagos society stood still, as the families of Sijuwade and Folawiyo played hosts to a galaxy of personalities, who gathered to witness the traditional marriage ceremony of their children. The ceremony involved Prince Aderemi Adejare Sijuwade and Olabisi Ashake Folawiyo.

The groom, Prince Aderemi is the son of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Okunade Adele Sijuwade, Olubuse 11, the 50th Ooni of Ife and Olori Oladunni Olamide Sijuwade (nee Harold-Sodipo). A very enterprising businessman, Prince Aderemi shared a remarkable closeness with his father. This informs why he is fondly called Baba’s Boy, by his friends.

On her own part, the bride, Olabisi, is the daughter of Chief Abdulwahab Iyanda Folawiyo, the late billionaire and former Baba Adinni of Nigeria, and Mrs Olushola Alaba Folawiyo, a businesswoman. Labisi is one of the most outstanding make-up artists in the society. She is the brain behind FACES By Labisi, the upscale make-up studio in Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi.

The union between Prince Aderemi and Labisi kicked off, with the traditional and engagement ceremony. This was held at the Federal Palace Hotel, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, at 12pm prompt.

The colour code for the day was royal blue for the groom’s family, while the bride’s family opted for peach and wine colour code. The wedding dinner, in honour of the couple, was also held on Saturday, 11 March, at The Civic Center, Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island.

The very colourful and classy traditional wedding was planned and organised by Rubyfaye Events, the upscale event management outfit, owned by Princess Aderenle Sijuwade-Fayevose, the groom’s elder sister.
