Self-styled Africa’s media mogulette, Tolu Oniru (aka Toolz), who had her lavish introduction ceremony with fiancé, Tunde Demuren, on September 5 has taken to her blog to talk about how she felt on her big day.
According to the curvy presenter, she is still amazed at the prospect of being a married woman.
The Oniru princess tagged the post ‘My Diary, My Introduction’.
Her post reads:
Ishhh is getting real!!
Can’t believe I’m going to be a married woman, it’s all so terribly grown up lol.
I didn’t want to put up anything on my site, but I’m trying to make it a bit more personal, so let’s see how this goes.
Anyhoo, so on Saturday 5th September, I had my introduction. This is where the families of the bride and groom officially meet. We had expected about 100 people, I hear there were about 250 people there! Eeek!!
I didn’t sleep well the night before, because I was so nervous and I really didn’t know what to expect. I’ve been to events like this before, but I’m generally in a corner somewhere just observing.
Today the attention was all on me…and that was so unnerving! I’m used to being on stage, but then work-mode has been activated, so in my mind it’s all about work.
I was so nervous, couldn’t eat…also because I was paranoid that I would get food stuck in my braces and would end up having lots of pictures with efo (spinach) hanging from my teeth lol.
I worked myself up so much that I ended up developing a nervous tick. My right eye twitched for hours and I could barely stop myself from freaking out….but when I saw him aka Bae the twitching stopped…(and the crowd went awwww!)
All thanks to God!
Much love to family and friends for making it all happen, looking forward to Part 2 & 3!
A big thank you to:
Valerie Davids for the dress she ‘built’ for me
Lois of Prospotted Makeover for the make-up
Lush Jewels for the jewellery
Itunu Fabrics & Bimmms
Voluptuous Toolz, who revealed earlier in the week that she will be keeping her maiden name by hyphenating it with her husband’s, is already making big plans for the other stages of her wedding programme.
The 33-year-old got engaged to Demuren in May 2015 during their holiday together in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
