Getting married is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful experiences in life. And not just getting married for the sake of it but getting married to the love of your life. Someone who, though with a few blemishes you’re willing you work around, ticks all relevant boxes. Not like you’re free from defects too but your partner, like you, is willing to cope with those not-so-pleasant things. Apparently, every beautiful thing requires sacrifice.  Bayo’s marriage to Damilola was indeed a memorable one. They’ve known each other since childhood living in the same estate in Lagos.

While I tried to locate Terminal D where Arik is, I walked past an elated Desmond Elliot who was high-fiving his peeps that obviously came to pick him up, and hey that guy is tall. If I tell you someone is tall, just believe it. I got to terminal D at 8:20 and just then I felt a rumbling in my stomach (Chai! Village people, why?).
