BN Exclusive: Teju Babyface Oyelakin & Tobi Banjoko’s Dazzling Traditional Engagement & White Wedding – All the Photos

It’s official, top Nigerian comedian/TV Host, Teju Babyface Oyelakin and his fiancée, model/beauty queen Tobi Banjoko are now husband and wife.

A month ago, BN caught up with the couple just before they said I do and they revealed all the exclusive details of their upcoming nuptials, where the bride-to-be spoke on her romantic proposal. According to her, Teju popped the big question on the world’s most romantic day – Valetine’s Day (2012) at the Southern Sun Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos. Although surprised, Tobi said Yes and from then on, the journey of the soon to be Mr & Mrs began.

Speaking on why he chose to spend the rest of his life with Tobi, in his own words, Teju said “ I felt peace, kind of  like the peace of God that passes all understanding”.

Here is a run down on their BIG Day!
White Wedding
The holy solemnization between the couple took place on Saturday 1st September 2012 at the Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja. Dapper in a Navy Blue Taryor Gabriels of Lagos paired with a Russell and Bromley black shoe, Teju Babyface Oyelakin awaited his wife on the altar as she arrived in a mermaid silhouette lace and tulle dress with a lace cape by Nigerian designer Mai Atafo, accessorized with pearl earrings and bracelets and completed her look with a birdcage veil. The couple were joined in holy matrimony by Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Church.

After the church wedding, Teju added a unique touch by whisking his wife away in style. The newlyweds drove to the reception at MUSON Centre with Teju at the reins of the steering wheel. Spotted at the reception were some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry including Richard Mofe-Damijo and his wife, Jumobi, Tee A, Ali Baba – the master of the ceremony, Yinka Ayefele, Kayode Peters, Jedi, DJ Jimmy Jatt and Kunle Afolayan.
