There are two kinds of fame: earned fame and reflected fame. One who is not famous for what he does can still be famous on account of his ties to a famous person. The latter is the case with Abdul Yekini Oyekanmi and Muibat Eniola who leveraged on their blood ties to draw the crème of high society to their high octane traditional engagement a few days ago.
The groom, Oyekanmi, is the son of the late Oba Yekini Adeniyi Elegushi, Kusenla II, and a younger brother of the current monarch of Ikateland, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi. The bride is no slouch either. She is the daughter of the current Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Lagos State, Hon. Saidat Olayinka Oladunjoye.
Like magnets, their respective heritages attracted the movers and shakers to the Harbour Point, Victoria Island venue of the event where Fuji music maestro Wasiu Ayinde Marshall serenaded guests from the bandstand.
Everything at the classy shindig was top notch: from the array of fabulous traditional outfits on display to the unique three-tiered blue cake.
