Media personality Tosyn Buknor has now released her official wedding photos and we are loving them!
“So earlier this year (2015), i got engaged. It did not happen whn and
where you thought it did sha (hee hee hee) and one day i shall tell…
But fast forward to November 2015 and le boo and i got married! Very
grateful to Nigeria’s best event planner, who also happens to be my
sister, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe (how lucky am i?). Apart from being the
C.E.O of Zapphaire Events, the wedding coordinators, she also owns the
sister company, ‘Decor by Furtullah’, headed by Pearl Ilolo. They put
together a breath-taking fairytale wedding for me. Thank you to God, my
partner, my family, my friends, our guests, and once again, the
incredible, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe and her team.” she disclosed on her blog.
When my sister asked what i wanted for my wedding, i told her i wanted
people to be happy and leave feeling like wow, they had experienced
something beautiful! I also wanted our (Omowale and i) cultures, passion
and things we love reflected.
Fun Facts:
– The table names were in either French or Yoruba. They were names or
titles of things that mattered to us. I for example wanted to celebrate
my grandmothers so i had ‘Olakunbi’ and ‘Adeoti’ tables (their names),
and also my house in secondary school (Efunjoke).
– My ‘something borrowed’ was a brooch from Sasha and my tiara from
Princess. Something new were my shooooooes and dress. Something old was
the bracelet that belonged to my maternal grandmother that i wore in her
memory and Something blue was… (guess)
