Caroline & Oluwatobi got married on Sunday, the 14th of February, 2016 (Valentine’s Day). Caroline & Tobi in traditional attire exchanged their marital vows; Caroline also wore a veil with her traditional attire.
Why?
In summary, one of the videographers in a bid to get a good angle of the bride’s gown mistakenly [genuine mistake] hung Caroline’s gown on an emergency sprinkler on the ceiling. Long story short, everywhere was flooded in brown and dirty water and literally 5 minutes before Caroline was due to wear the dress she had protected for months, her white wedding gown was no longer white; it was ruined.
As you can imagine, Caroline ‘cried, wept and almost passed out’ when her mum broke the news to her screaming “Caroline, your dress is gone”. Her husband – Oluwatobi along with her friends tried to console her. Her mum and husband immediately took her to a corner and said “you have to be strong”. Caroline’s mum reminded her that the devil was around trying to claim victory and instead of crying, they should think of a way to move forward.
Caroline had to walk down the aisle with her husband in the Iro and buba/agbada they had planned to change into (talk about unconventional). During the wedding blessing, her husband whispered to Caroline saying her dress had been fixed – the hotel had quickly called their dry cleaners to make her dress white again after it had sewage water all over it from a burst emergency sprinkler… Long story short, Caroline ended up in her dress for the reception!
