How we got here
Eleven years later, we're getting married.
We met in a long queue to collect our graduation gowns. Ngozi was complaining about the wait, and Obiora turned around to agree with her.
We've been together ever since, and now we'd love for you to celebrate with us.
Where to come
Church first, then the beach.
The church service starts at 3pm at Holy Cross Cathedral, where Ngozi’s parents got married in 1988. After that, boats will take everyone from Five Cowries Jetty to Ilashe Beach House for the reception. The ride is about ten minutes, and the boats are paid for.
