The stunning traditional Nigerian wedding-wear the groom’s family wore was only one part of this extraordinary event. Love was shinning from all sides on this wedding day. The striking couple-Paulette and Odi-were bursting with happiness as they said their vows in a beautiful stain glass-windowed Church in Mississauga. After an emotional ceremony the bride and groom and their 200 guests made their way to the gorgeous Lionhead Golf and Country Club to hit a hole in one with a scrumptious dinner menu filled with traditional Nigerian, Jamaican and Portuguese cuisine. The reception was filled with many wonderful moments including the breaking of the traditional Kola nut by the Nigerian elder; the delicious Portuguese seafood table; and the heartfelt speeches by friends, family and by the couple themselves. The party really got started when Paulette, Odi, their wedding party and Odi’s family all changed into traditional Nigerian outfits and danced through the reception hall. The drumbeat got everybody’s toes tapping. This was night filled with joy and the perfect mingling of cultures. The dancing went on to the early hours of the morning—and beyond.
