A tale of 2 13 years old projects...HOTR cathedral & the Okelues

The fresh Mr & Mrs Henry Okelue ...
13 years later

 

The Fresh HOTR Cathedral...
13 years later

Funny story, the House on the Rock Cathedral was dedicated yesterday right? GEJ was in attendance for real... by the way.

 Then this wedding reception held at the Bespoke center which is located right beside the HOTR cathedral (though reception started after HOTR event ended and GEJ et al had evaporated).

However that is not the gist.

The gist is that it took HOTR 13 years to build the cathedral just as it took this young man (Henry) in the picture 13 years to woo this lady (Elohor) to be his wife....you read me right -13 years!!

They met at a Daddy Showkey concert in UNIBEN 13 years ago and he fell for her and has never retreated. The wedding was fun because amongst other reasons, I was the compere * batting eyelids fervently* PLUS their friends, family and well wishers were just fun loving people, including her excellency the 1st lady of Lagos state who was in attendance.

But the high point for me was after their first dance to a very slow romantic number, the DJ played Daddy Showkey's song immediately and the groom and his friends went into a crazy dance frenzy...daddy Showkey style.

 It was hilarious...Elohor's eyes nearly popped out of her head and she almost ran away from the alarming "razzness" of it all...her friends pushed her to stay and dance along.

It was too funny.

Don't worry guys I will soon start carrying video crew around to capture such surprising moments for you.

My money never complete...Lol!

Back to the 13 years matter.... so...I will keep watching this couple and HOTR to see if there will be any more similarities...I will remind you guys if anything comes up...watch out for season 14...Lol!
