A Special Proposal: Yemi & Tosin

So... Here it goes...Picture this:

March 25, 2006, Tosin's birthday. It was a Saturday afternoon, and Yemi drove from Louisville to Nashville to come and spend my birthday with me. He brought me a bouquet of sunflowers, very pretty. Yemi told me he had made dinner reservations for my birthday, and he'll be picking me up from church after choir practice, so I had to dress nice.
Anyways, since it was my birthday, I didn't suspect anything, though I thought he was acting weird and Doyin (my younger sister) was acting extra nice. He picked me up for dinner at 7pm, and we went to the Cascades Restaurant at Gaylord Opryland Resort (beautiful scenery and good food, if you're in the Nashville area, it's a great place to visit). After dinner, we went on a riverboat ride on the Delta River, an indoor river at the resort. The boat was decorated with red and white rose petals, there was champagne on ice and Frank Sinatra's "It had to be you" was playing in the background. Now, I'm thinking to myself, "This is a really nice birthday, I could really get used to this!"
I was beginning to feel relaxed and enjoy the scenery, when we got to this beautiful waterfall. I was just about to talk to Yemi about the waterfall when he got on his right knee and asked me to marry him! Being the goofy person that I am, I laughed really hard for two minutes (out of joy, of course) and said yes! Well, the rest is history.



Wedding of The Week: Chinwe and Seun

The venues for the events?
The ceremony & reception took place at The Pacific Palms Resort, Los Angeles, California

What was your favorite part of your wedding?
Seeing family & friends laugh, dance . . . just having a good time

How was the planning process for you?
Seun & I planned our wedding, and we enjoyed making our day very personal. There were a lot of discussions, disagreements, making up but We were a very good team, especially because all the planning took place over emails, phone calls, it was long distance.

If you could change anything what would it be?
God exceeded my expectation I won't change a thing

If you could add anything what would it be?
Not necessarily add, but I would have relaxed more during the planning process, and just trusted God by not worrying

Any advice for brides to be ....
Have fun at every stage, the wedding process flies by too fast
