On Sunday, November 17, 2013, the most anticipated
celebrity traditional wedding between Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo, will
hold at The Arc Events Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The nuptials is expected to be
carnival-like, star-studded, going by the array of guests already
slated to honour the celebrated couple.
While telecommunications giant, Glo boss, Mike Adenuga Jnr. is going to chair the nuptials, gifted comedienne, Helen Paul is no longer going to co-host with fellow comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka.
This is because Helen will be performing at comedian AY’s London show holding that same day.
According to one of the planning committee members:
“Invitations
have been sent out, except for few friends who are not in the country
at the moment. Apart from the afore-mentioned names, we’re also
expecting some other celebrities, which I don’t want to mention.”
Although,
Peter’s mum passed on a year ago, his father, Mr. Okoye will lead other
siblings from their base in Ifite-Dunu, Akwa Village, Anambra State, to
Lagos for marriage rites.
Peter, 33, is going to be the first
celebrity son of Mr. Okoye to marry. His brother, Paul has already
proposed to his babymama and long time girlfriend, Anita Itokwu-Isama,
but yet to pick a date.
However, the woman that rocks the life of
their elder brother, Jude, 38, is yet to be known, as he has not been
linked romantically with any lady.
Meanwhile, there is massive demand for the wedding aso ebi and headgear, otherwise known as gele, that go for N40, 000.
As you read this, we can tell you authoritatively that the demand has
soared, but only few were able to get. Those who didn’t get the complete
aso ebi have gone for the N5000 headgear.
An inside source said:
“There
is no aso-ebi for men, except for family and close friends. However,
the groom, Peter has given out free cap (blue) to friends, especially
celebrities, who are excluded from the male aso-ebi. By now, they should
have gotten theirs, with access card. The access card admits one person
and should be brought to the venue.”
