Femi had been of two minds about attending Tolu’s wedding. He hadn’t been invited, but he knew other people who were going. It was quite a high-profile affair. Even his parents had been invited. He finally decided to go as a form of closure. To say ‘goodbye’, and […]
Lola took the cue to go to the restroom to freshen up. On her way, she passed the high table, where her mother-in-law was seated, as the Mother of the Bride. She stopped to greet her, and received a big hug and lots of kisses. Bimbo Adetayo was […]
It was the morning of Danny and Tolu’s wedding, and Temi was up early getting ready to make it to the Church on time. She’d found the card for the Make-up Artist she had met at the supermarket back in February, when she had tipped her bag upside […]
