After a
keenly contested competition among the Top 10 couples at the Grand Finale
of My Big Nigerian Wedding, Yemisi and Yomi have emerged winners. The
elated couple would have their wedding sponsored to the tune of N15Million by
top wedding vendors in Nigeria. They would also have their honeymoon at the
world’s most luxurious hotel, Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
The
competition was an interesting one which comprised of different stages.
Coincidentally, Yemisi & Yomi were almost knocked out of the competition at
the first stage. Yemisi scored 50 points during the first Q&A session and
was in a tie with two other couples.
However,
Yomi saved her and broke out of the tie after a fun carrot and rope competition
where he was the first person to get his rope into a glass.
Yemisi was
also successful in identifying her man even with a blindfold around her eyes.
During this stage, all the ladies won.However, at the final stage, it was down
to three couples. Yemisi Aiyedun & Yomi Odusanya, Simi
Lokadang & Olakunle Ebun Ehinmotiwa and Francess Alero
Sifo & Benjamin Olire Maku.
Yomi was
the only person who got the correct answer at this stage, making them winners
of the competition. And in a very romantic and unexpected twist, Yomi
proposed again to Yemisi after they won. The couple have been dating for
11 years and have weathered many storms in their relationship together.
Yemisi and
Yomi story.................
HOW WE MET
We met at
Igbinedion University in 2003! We met at a mutual friends room by chance . My
cousin told Yomi to look for me when he gets to Uni, and he told me the same
too, just so we can be friends. However we never met, until that evening when I
went to my friends room to beg for Indomie noodles.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR US
We deserve
to win because we have been dating for over 10 years now, and the last 6 years
have been long distance....it is about time we got married! It has not been an
easy journey. Long distance is suffering!!! We only got to see once a year
because of our academic pursuits which is why winning would be a dream to our
family, friends and most especially both of us - The perfect icing on the cake!
It would also take off the financial pressure from us. we kid you not! Our
parents have invested heavily in us (education wise)...it would be a joy to
tell them that they don't have to spend a dime on our wedding!!! Help us make
that happen : we have been waiting for this for the past 10 years! Please vote
for us! Vote everyday! God bless you!
The show was hosted by CoolFM OAP Mercy Ajisafe aka Omo London and took place at The Haven Event Centre Ikeja GRA, official venue partner of MBNWedding. Among other things to be announced soon, the couple would have their wedding catered for by the Dream Team which includes Tosan Jemide of Cakes By Tosan, Kelechi Amadi-Obi, Banke Meshida-Lawal of BM Pro, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe of Zapphire Events, Mai Atafo, Concepteur de Fruitée & Sweet Indulgence.
