President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari,
Vice-President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, state governors and other
dignitaries on Friday graced the wedding of Governor Adams Oshiomhole of
Edo State.
The wedding took place at Iyamoh, the country home of the governor in Edo State, southern Nigeria.
Iyamoh turned to a Mecca of a sort Friday morning as a large crowd invaded the sleepy community for the wedding ceremony.
The
wedding ceremony which was to hold at the Auchi high Court Registry,
was moved to the governor’s private residence located along Auchi/Okene
highway.

Gaining
entrance into the sprawling compound was a herculean task as security
operatives had a tough time screening the surging crowd that wanted to
enter the compound.
Many high dignitaries from across the country were present to see Governor Oshiomhole and his new bride, Lara Fortes, exchange wedding vows.
President-elect,
General Muhammadu Buhari who was flown into Iyamoh in a chopper,
arrived at the wedding venue exactly 11:20 and was ushered into the
wedding ceremony inside the back view balcony of the governor’s
residence.
He was immediately followed by the
Vice-President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who arrived in company of his
wife at 11:28 am, and were also led into the wedding ceremony.

Ikimi and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who showed up at the ceremony at
about 11:09 am.
The couple later stepped out at 11:30 and walked round and back into the hall.
I think that this place is really suitable for any size of gathering. By the way, they offer a day care room with lots of toys for children. The food Las Vegas Weddings was delicious and the service is always great. Also the view is absolutely amazing.
