Bridal party

Idoreyin Ekpo is one of the groomsmen. A bright young man, tall in stature and vision. He is a Marine Engineer.

This is what he has to say:

Engineer Ife is someone I have known for a while and I thank God for his growth and development. I pray that he be blessed in his new home. Amen

My name is Judith and I am one of the bridesmaids. I have known Tosin or 'Spere' like we used to call her in those days for almost 15 years now and I must say being friends with her has been one of the best relationship decisions I've ever made. She is smart, intelligent, and beautifully endowed with the qualities of proverbs 31. She exudes this grace within her that is just so infectious and blesses anyone that she comes across. I pray as you make this journey into married life, the God you serve will uphold your home and cement the bond between you and your husband and will bless you with every good and perfect gift in life. Love you always and do not forget, Aunty Judith is always here to babysit when those triplets arrive. Peace x

HOW I MET ENGR IFE: I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD OF ENGR IFE BUT I DID NOT MEET UNTIL I CAME TO THE UK, SINCE I MET HIM I HAVE KNOWN HIM TO BE A NICE GENTLE MAN ALWAYS RESERVED, SIMPLE  IN HIS CONVERSATION AND I SEE HIM AS A BIG BROTHER TO LOOK UP TO IN MY CAREER. I MUST SAY THAT THE BRIDE IS FAVOURED TO HAVE SUCH A GOOD MAN AS HER HUSBAND. ENGR IFE YOU ARE JUST A SIMPLE HERO.

To my most inspiring Friend! I am so happy for you! you are a beautiful person I am so honoured to a bridesmaid and be a part of your big day! From the day I first met you in the office until now I will always hear you before I see you if it's not that catwalk in your heels walking down the office it's definetly a "hi yaaaaaa everyone how are you !!!" Lol congratulation to you both have a lovely day love Amy.

Richard Udofia also known as Richie is a seafarer a marine engineer by profession:

I have known the groom and am honored to be a partaker of this blessed day.

Tosin is always so bubbly and up for a laugh...brightens up the room when she walks in (Though you can generally hear her heels before you see her!). We have had great times working together and she is always supportive and helpful - a great friend. We have also had great times chilling at spa days and shopping. I am so excited and honoured to be a bridesmaid on your wedding day and wish you all the best for the future as a married couple. Love Danielle.

 Emmanuel ifeoluwa is a quiet and interesting person to be with. I met Ife in Southampton couple of years ago but my relationship with him was a distance one then later we became friends and we decided to get an apartment where we lived as brothers.

I will personally refer to him as an introvert due to his way of life. I actually thought I was one but meeting Ifeoluwa proofed me wrong. Emmanuel Ifeoluwa Is a nice, simple and easy going person when you understand him. Also he is self conscious and cannot be influenced by anybody, he is focus and above all God fearing.

No marriage is perfect but as the saying goes, "with God all things are possible". I am happy to say that Emmanuel Ifeoluwa Abimbola & Tosin Arogundade are perfect match. In the book of John 4:8 it says "He that loveth not, knoweth God not; for God is love". My prayer for you is as the two of you have found love, May your hearts be United by God.

I met Tosin many years ago in Liverpool, and we have been best of friends ever since. We also attended the same secondary school and university. I was excited when Tosin told me that she will be getting married to her soulmate and I feel honoured to be part of her special day. Tosin is an amazing and caring person. She is bubbly and fun to be around. She has a big heart and you can always count on her. She is like a sister to me. I wish Tosin and Ife all the happiness in the world in their life long journey.

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MR IFE STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. PRIOR TO THAT TIME, I USE TO THINK SEAMEN LIKE HIM DON’T EXIST. I BELIEVE OUR MEETING WAS A DIVINE DESIGN BECAUSE WHEN I MET HIM HE TURNED OUT TO BE A TRUE GENTLEMAN, AND A BREED OF “THE NEW GENERATION OF GOD FEARING SEAMEN”, WHO BY ALL STANDARDS ARE HARD TO COME BY. OVER THE SHORT PERIOD I’VE KNOWN HIM, HE HAS BECOME A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND A ROLE MODEL TO ME, MORALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. INDEED MR IFE IS A MAN OF GOD WHO DESERVES A GOD FEARING WOMAN, AND I’M GLAD HE FINALLY FOUND THAT WOMAN IN SIS TOSIN. I WISH THE COUPLE A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE AND ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT COMES WITH A HAPPY HOME.

MR ISAAC REUBEN

Over the years, you have been a treasured sister and an amazing best friend. Words cannot describe how much you meant to me. You have lead me by example, taught me to overcome difficulties and overall we have had invaluable memories.

 I wish you nothing but marital blessings!
