In a grand celebration of love and unity, the families of Elder Mrs. Ajao Olusegun Michael and Prophet Oguntade Akinlolu John,(late) Mrs Oguntade Comfort came together on Saturday, October 5, 2024, to celebrate the marriage of their children, Bisola Ajao and Segun Oguntade.
The traditional wedding ceremony was held at the Abimbola Event Centre, Olodo Garage, Ibadan, followed by a church service at C.A.C Oke Irapada, Gbena District, Iwo-Road, Ibadan, and a lively reception back at the event centre.
The wedding was chaired by Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, who offered sage advice to the newlyweds, urging them to build their marriage on the foundational pillars of love, respect, and mutual support.
“Marriage is a journey that requires patience, understanding, and forgiveness,” said Ambassador Ajadi. “When you love and respect each other, you create an environment where both of you can thrive. The key is to always forgive quickly and build on one another’s strengths.”
He further stressed the importance of loyalty and partnership in marriage, noting that when couples stand by each other, they can face any challenge. “Loyalty is the cornerstone of a successful marriage. Supporting each other’s strengths and weaknesses makes the union even stronger, forming a team that’s greater than the sum of its parts.”
Ambassador Ajadi also encouraged the couple to practice discipline and integrity, which he identified as essential for a lasting marriage. “Discipline and integrity are crucial in maintaining loyalty and commitment. When both partners are dedicated to each other, they create a foundation of mutual respect that stands the test of time.”
The event was highlighted by the performance of rising juju star, Temitope Olajide, popularly known as Indomie, whose music added a rich cultural flavor to the ceremony.
Among the dignitaries who graced the occasion were notable figures such as Mr. Gbenga Olaitan Awoeyo, Comrade Kehinde Teluwo, Comrade Shuaib Ibrahim, Comrade Omokehinde Olowu, and Hon. Fatai Adenaya Modawoni, all of whom joined the couple’s families in celebrating the joyous occasion.
The union of Bisola Ajao and Segun Oguntade marks the beginning of a new chapter, with family, friends, and well-wishers gathered to offer their blessings for a long and happy marriage.
