Saraki, Ooni, Elegushi grace Offa royal wedding
On Friday, December 1, 2023, the wedding Nikah between Mohammed, a son of the Olofa of Offa, Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi; and his bride, Aishat Shaiub, took place at the Imperial Event Centre in Offa, Kwara State.
The ceremony was well attended by many notable personalities, including a former Senate President, Bukola Saraki; the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; the Oniru of Iru Kingdom; Abdulwasiu Lawal; and the Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi, Saheed Elegushi.
Setting the tone for the event, a picture banner with a lovely photo of the couple welcomed guests to the venue.
For the nikah, the couple was dressed for their special day in all-white outfits, which symbolised the purity and freshness of their love, and had them glowing and full of smiles.
One of the highlights of the event was when the bride walked with her father into the venue, as they were serenaded by drummers. This was even as her bridesmaids surrounded her and cheered her on; sharing a heartfelt moment.
Meanwhile, the day before the nikah, the couple had celebrated their engagement ceremony. It was indeed a colourful one, as the couple and their guests were dressed in beautiful traditional outfits that showcased the richness of their culture.
The ceremony provided an avenue for the two families to know one another better as the groom's relatives exchanged pleasantries with those from the bride's side.
Aside from the prayers offered by the clerics in attendance, the couple also received royal blessings from the traditional rulers present.
