Sire IjadinminiSire Ijadinmini
Groomsman
Sire and I first met in our teens through a mutual friend, and from the start, we clicked. Our bond has only grown stronger over the years, and it’s been amazing to watch how our friendship has evolved. Even though we now live in different cities, we’ve always stayed connected, whether through regular visits, supporting each other through the ups and downs of life, or celebrating milestones together. What I appreciate most about Sire is that he’s the kind of friend who’s always there when you need him, no matter the distance. He’s not just someone I can count on in tough times, but also someone who shares in the good times, making those moments even more special. Sire is more than a friend, he’s family, and I’m incredibly honoured to have him standing by my side, as I take this big step in my life.
Ogaga EdafeOgaga Edafe
Groomsman
I first met Ogaga here in Sydney, of all places, on the football field. From the moment we crossed paths, we hit it off, and our friendship has only grown stronger since. Whether we’re talking football, making plans, or just catching up, Ogaga has always been someone I can count on. He’s the kind of guy who’s always there to offer support and share a laugh, no matter what life throws our way. One thing that stands out about him is his ability to bring people together, whether it’s planning trips or just organizing a night out. Although a few of our travel plans haven’t quite come to fruition yet, I know that with Ogaga, the adventure is always worth the wait. Ogaga is more than just a friend; he’s someone I can trust with anything, and I’m grateful for all the moments we’ve shared. Having him stand by me on this day is something I’ll always cherish. He’s not just a groomsman, he’s a brother, and I’m lucky to have him in my life.
Retnan OlanipekunRetnan Olanipekun
Maid of Honor
From my very first breath, there was Retnan my big sister, my mentor, my guide, and my best friend. She's the person who's always been there, walking ahead and lighting the path for me to follow. She's been with me since the moment I entered this world, and I've never had to navigate life without her by my side. Whenever I need direction, whether for the tiniest things or the big decisions, Retnan is the one I turn to. She's my voice of reason, my biggest cheerleader, and the one who knows me better than anyone else. Having Retnan in my life has been one of the greatest blessings, and as I step into this new chapter, I carry with me all the love, guidance, and inspiration she's given me over the years. I'm grateful to know she'll still be there. Always!
Akosua YeboahAkosua Yeboah
Bridesmaid
Akosua and I met during our very first year of university, while studying medical science. Funny enough, it happened on a day when our class was cancelled. I noticed her sitting next to me, a fellow student who looked just like me. It was obvious we were both trying to avoid eye contact, but God had other plans. By the end of that day, we somehow ended up walking together to watch 'Black Panther'. And just like that, a beautiful friendship began. Since then, we've been somewhat inseparable. Even during those times when life gets in the way and we go MIA, our conversations pick up as if there was never a pause. Akosua is one of the truest, most genuine friends I've been blessed with, and I'm so thankful for the bond we share. Akosua, has now become a sister by choice, and I couldn't imagine this journey without her.
