Last weekend, the media was agog with activities and comments when photos from late Ooni’s son, Aderemi Sijuwade and beauty entrepreneur, Labisi Folawiyo’s wedding joining filtered online. You may be asking, but why the fuss? Isn’t it just a wedding? No, it’s not your regular wedding… Fortunately, Glazia was there to cover the non-religious event and we have photos with commentaries to give you all the 411 from the wedding joining which held at the waterfront area of the Civic Centre on the 11th of March,2017.
