Barbie and Ken Gets Married - Nigerian Style

Hi lovelies, hope you all had a great weekend? 

I came across a blog post by Obi Nwokedi(photography by Obi)on black Barbie and Ken's Nigerian wedding and absolutely loved every bit of it. He did such a great job telling the story of Barbie and Ken's perfect traditional wedding, his attention to detail is absolutely amazing and I know I'll be a very bad friend if I didn't share this with you beauties...

here are a few of the frames, click here to see the full gallery

Isn't this incredible? Hope you enjoyed his story? 

I hope this becomes a series...

A Twist on Tradition

Hey Lovelies!!! How are you beauties doing? 

Saturday was a very hectic but fun filled day for everyone involved, my cousin got married and we partied like it was 1999...hehe. My day started at 4:30am as I had to get ready and  make my way to Essex before 9am to beautify the bride for her big day and thanks to milk of magnesia and Porefessional, my makeup stayed put for the whole day (15 hours to be exact).

My dress was designed by the talented Asake of Asakeoge and I absolutely love it. It is super fitted and well made, granted I couldn't move or sit down or eat much (which is a plus I guess) but it was everything I wanted the dress to be. If you haven't heard of Asakeoge before then check her out here and here.
