BAAD2017: The SA Experience, an End to a Beautiful Beginning

Posted on by Omaku Josephine

The SA Experience; the Final Destination.

Still on BAAD2017; the deal has been signed, sealed and Adesua Etomi has been carefully delivered to the Wellingtons. A big congratulations to the celebrity couple of the year.

Just like yesterday, news hit us that our sweetheart, Adesua Etomi has been hooked by one of the country’s most eligible bachelors. Little did we know that even more beautiful than the bride, the wedding was going to sweep us off our feets.

Just from a single hello, the journey of a happy ever after began and like a never ending story, two has become one. Adesua Etomi in pump and circumstance dropped the Etomi title to pick up forever as a Wellington.

The ceremonies that marked the cementing of their union has been filled with awesome colours. From the engagement (which came to us out of the blues), to the introduction, the traditional wedding and ultimately, the white wedding. In what better ways can one celebrate love once it is found.

The Beginning of Forever

From a carefully selected wedding venue, to an amazing artwork crafted in style by celebrity stylist, Mai Atafo, the white wedding certainly didn’t live short of anyone’s expectations. South Africans would certainly testify to beauty in this one. The mountain top view of the wedding venue again is one to leave us drooling.

To not mention the amazing friends and family that stayed through the phases of the wedding is to be unjust. The couple is certainly lucky to have friends that stick in good times (no hopes for bad times). Of course, family is about everything that makes sense as evident in this one.

The beautiful couple is and will always be a sight to behold as we all can’t wait to be graced with the sight of their offsprings. From their smiles that were laced with love to the poses, the dances and the kisses. We just can’t get enough of BAAD2017.

…now the beginning is over and the happy forever has just began. Few days down in this journey already and forever to go. We can only see a future of happy ever afters until the day after forever.

This one is for the Wellingtons, Cheers to Love!!!

Still on BAAD2017.

Nigeria’s celebrity wedding of the year between Banky W and Adesua Etomi (BAAD2017) has generated a lot of mixed reactions. So many people have congratulated the couple on their wedding while others choose to lash out on them. There are others however who have chosen to give them some valuable pieces of advice.

The most recent reaction to this wedding is coming from Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu. In an instagram post, the actor lodged his disappointment over the lovebirds for celebrating such a lavish wedding despite the fact that they have promised not to (Read Here).

He Wrote:

Is it too difficult for you to do a small wedding? @bankywellington Are you #wedding the whole of #Nigeria or just one #girl??? Hmmm… My P.A just showed me an old #post of yours on #instagram where you said you would never do a #big wedding, and just yesterday, my Ex- #girlfriend also showed me a #video where @adesuaetomi said she would never do a big wedding too, so what really went wrong?

Can’t you #guys emulate my best #friend @iambangalee When he had his wedding, am sure the whole #world did not hear about it, until after the whole ceremony, because he knows the #food you invite the entire village to come eat with you never last… listen, those people who are #dancing and praising you today, some of them are secretly waiting for your #marriage to break like the wall of Jericho so they can #laugh at you. ?

Am the biggest #actor in Nigeria, and am saying its not too late to taking your #relationship off social #media, a word is enough for the #wise.

Actress, Omotola Jolade Ekehinde is one of those that felt that the couple should take their marriage out of social media as she also took to Instagram to advice the couple to do so. She stated that after Cape Town (their final wedding destination), they will have to go and live on their own thus they should learn to keep their lives private.

Fabric + sketch for @adesuaetomi Edo traditional outfit.
We had to alter the sketch and make it a tube instead so she could wear her edo coral beads on her neck
Adesua is a unique bride..she wanted her outfit to be avant garde/structured which was a bit of a challenge as My aesthetic is more ‘feminine’, but we thank God it turned out great ❤️❤️#BAAD2017#tojufoyeh#tfofcourse”

Teju who wasted no time to respond to the allegation wrote…

“LOL, Mr SegunGele, this was the inspiration for the look and as you can clearly see a modified version was sketched for her but had to result to it being a tube. As my caption states, It was made by me, not designed by me so before trying to get 5 seconds of UNMERITED fame, get your facts right and please for future reference purposes get my name off your page, an old man like you should be focusing on his craft and encouraging people! Don’t be an agbaya Sir.. enjoy the day!”
