GRACE + TOLU
Grace says. The guitarist also played
as the bride walked down the aisle.
Tolu surprised the bride by
joining two of the couple’s friends
in a special arrangement.
Personal, handmade touches also
highlighted the day. Grace, a skilled
calligrapher, made signs for the reception
from ornate frames, black chalkboard
paint and chalk. Friends made the flower
arrangements and table settings.
In a nod to the couple’s heritage, the
reception food was a mixture of Cuban
and Nigerian fare, some made by family
members. The reception DJ, a friend
of Tolu’s with a deep knowledge of
Nigerian music, played many tunes with
West African roots. All in all, the event
couldn’t have been better, says Grace.
