And so they kissed and started a lively, tender life. It was the kind of life that blossomed like a truth universally acknowledged and treasured by only the pure at heart. Bride and groom beamed majestically, with content. Their heartfelt dreams had finally come true; they were bound by swathes of bliss, two simple vows and a grand matchless love – which makes them one of the happiest couples of their time.
And these are indeed precious times for Kike Fajemirokun, the beautiful daughter of Chief Olu Fajemirokun and Louis Mbanefo. Last Saturday, in London, their wedding unfolded like a red carpet, rolling out smoothly far from Lagos city, Nigeria, on the grand boulevards and palatial pleasure domes of the United Kingdom. As it unfolded, the bride’s family, the Fajemirokun clan and the groom’s folks, stepped out with aplomb and took their positions before the crème of Nigeria and the London high society flocking to rejoice with them and bear witness to the memorable union of their son and daughter.
Kike smiled contentedly through the proceedings. Anyone would feel such contentment in such defining moment. She cut a marvelous picture as she sashayed towards her groom. Louis bit his lip nervously and sweated profusely in thermo-induced chill of the grand setting, the gaze of onlookers and culmination of years of expectation. It took keen observers to deduce that his anxiety was borne of bliss and love everlasting.
That blend of anxiety and ritual splendor in a relaxed atmosphere was something very special. It persistently drove the mother of the bride, Edith Fajemirokun to tears of joy – which she struggled not to shed.
