In the Name of Love

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!

Happy Feet

For her something blue, Eniola chose a special message for the bottom of her shoes. (One of our favorite trends among brides.)

A Symbol of My Love

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.

Teamwork Takes Two

“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.”

A Sea of Beauty

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.

Get On Down

Temzie busts a move on the dance floor as his new wife, Eniola, and their bridal party cheer them on. To ensure that the party wouldn’t stop, until they said do, they couple hired both a live band and a deejay.

Fun and Games

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.

“I Do” Take Two

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.
