Eniola, 27, met Temzie, 28, at a friend’s wedding in Houston. Four years later it was their turn to say “I do” on October 22, 2011, at The Bell Towers on 34th in Houston. Share their love!
For her something blue, Eniola chose a special message for the bottom of her shoes. (One of our favorite trends among brides.)
The day would not have been complete without their his and hers wedding bling. Temzie went above and beyond to be sure he was able to give Eniola (who’s particular about her style) the exact ring she’d always dreamed of wearing on her left hand.
We just love how the hot pink accent color pops when paired with Temzie’s sharp grey suit.

Eniola looks stunning in this Winnie Couture strapless trumpet gown. It fits her like a glove. “When I tried it on, I knew my husband would love it.”
“We picked every detail of the wedding together,” says Eniola. “We wanted this to be a TENI (a name she created for them because her nickname is Eni and his is Temi) creation.”
This laid back bridal party portrait belongs in a frame. We love to see the bridal party having as much fun as the bride and groom — everyone had an amazing time, and it shows.
From here, all we can see is purple and pink perfection on those decadent stairs. Eniola did an excellent job of selecting bridesmaids gowns that flattered all the ladies’ figures. What a lovely bunch of beauties.
“I am very lucky to have Temilolu as my husband,” says Eniola. “He is very caring, honest, and more especially loves me for me.”
Fun-loving couple Eniola and Temzie wisely chose to work with Houston photographer RH Photo Arts on their special day. He was the genius behind unforgettable bridal shots like this one.

Eniola’s cascading bouquet is a real scene-stealer. It’s a traditional style of bouquet most popular with princesses and other modern day royal brides.

“We both attended the same church, and we knew we’d want to get married there,” Eniola tells us. “Even before I got engaged, I had already envisioned what our special day would be like.”

Pink and purple mood lighting with a damask gobo light helped to set the mood for romance during the couple’s sit-down dinner reception. Over 500 guests came to help the couple celebrate their union.

Eniola and Temzie chose a romantic color palette to match the amazing love they feel in their hearts for one another. Doesn’t it just come right through their photos? This looks like it was a first dance to be remembered.

Before he completed the customary search for Eniola’s garter belt, the groom paused for a few push ups, and an awesome photo opp. You can tell these two are best friends and lovers.
In keeping with Nigerian wedding traditions, Eniola and Temzie planned two wedding ceremonies. Their traditional ceremony was held on Thursday and a “white wedding” was held on Saturday. They looked amazing on both days.
Eniola and Temzie’s custom Nigerian wedding attire is so gorgeous, we’re not sure if we’re looking at the new King and Queen or Mr. and Mrs. Ayoola. Check out more exclusive photos from their wedding over at The Bride’s Cafe now.
