Our story
Jide asked Wunmi's father for a meeting before he ever asked Wunmi anything. She found out weeks later and pretended to be cross about it.
We're keeping this one soft and green: an outdoor engagement in the garden, aso-oke in sage and coral, the alaga trading their prayers under the canopy, and palm fronds instead of a marquee.
There'll be small chops, a talking drum, and the kind of dancing that leaves everyone barefoot by sundown.

With love, if you wish
Your company is more than enough. If you'd like to give, a little toward the home we're setting up would mean the world.
Good to know
Is it really all outdoors?
Yes, in a garden. Bring a hat for the afternoon sun and shoes you can dance in on grass.
What's the colour of the day?
Sage green and coral. We'll share the aso-ebi fabric closer to the time for anyone who'd like to match.
Can children come?
Of course. It's a garden, there's space to run, and we love having them there.
