The wedding website under review today is http://www.obehiandsteve.com. It is refreshing to see

other designs and not the stock ones we always see from weddingorg.com.

The first impression you get is a warm feeling. The music No more Rain from Angie Stone is just perfect

for the occasion. I love the song so maybe I am biased. The song goes

My sunshine has come and I am all cried out

There is no more rain in this cloud.

It all fits with Obehi’s story about Steve being the guy she had always wanted. But she had to play hard to get

initially. They have interesting stories but I would have loved to see more of that. The information about

how they met is really thin.

What about the pictures. Every page loads with a widescreen picture in the background which makes

the text hard to read at times. The text could have been written in any font other than Arial and it would

have made the site look even more awesome.

It is amazing how many pictures there are and how fast the site loads. The designer did a good job.

The wedding is in December 2009, two weeks after mine. December is really a wedding month, I

can’t count how many wedding I have to go to in December.

Congratulations on your wedding Obehi and Steve. Head on over to their site http://www.obehiandsteve.com

and let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

As always, if you like the site, please vote for them. The aim is find out which Nigerian wedding website is the

most popular in 2009/2010

This is the first series of posts where I will be giving a review of Nigerian wedding websites. The goal is to compile a list of the best websites out there all voted by you of course.

The first website I will be reviewing is from Bunmi & Bolade at www.bunmiandbolade.com . They just got married on the 7th of November in North Carolina, so as I am writing this, it is about 3 days ago.

The website looks professionally done and it has a futuristic feel to it. It has got round edges and sliding windows like you would see in a science fiction movie.

Bolade’s proposal story was fun to read. I personally feel he put himself under a lot or pressure by letting his fiancee’s family know he was going to propose just minutes before he did. Well it all turned out okay in the end.

Hello People

My name is Kemi and I’m a wedding site freak…lol. To say I have spied on at least 40 different sites is not an exaggeration. After stalking other people’s wedding site for so many years, I can reasonably conclude that my time is here. I love everything about weddings especially naija weddings and just spying on other people’s happy moments makes me normal… (What a confession) Even though I spied a lot on other people’s weddings I was never obsessed about getting married and never really thought about my own wedding, all I ever thought about was others… (Don’t ask me why)

I’m currently planning my wedding with Cala Lillies and while planning my wedding I realised information was not really easy to come by especially if you do not live in Nigeria and you are planning to get married there. So I’ve decided to share some of my wonderful ideas and vendors with other Brides to be (b2b)

I’ll be sharing ideas on, finding the right wedding dress, underwear dilemma especially for busty brides (like me..lol), the right jewellery, shoes, Bags, venue, wedding favours, cake, wedding colours, caterer ,honeymoon ideas, gift ideas for your groom…..the list is endless and please feel free to add to the list if you feel there is something missing and feel free to ask questions or even start up a discussion.

Love
