The January marriage of radio presenter Tolu Oniru ‘Toolz’ and her pilot fiancé Tunde Demuren was said to among the most star-studded parties Lagos has yet seen. It was one of the most anticipated weddings of 2016, wrote Nairaland. “The celebrity wedding was the talk of the town … graced by royalties from different parts of Nigeria,” added Nigerian Newspapers Today.
One of the biggest trends of the moment is the pre-wedding shoot. Couples are seen sunning themselves on holiday or enjoying their favourite pastime, often in matching his-and-hers outfits.
