The Engagement: Burgundy Velvet & Champagne Lace

Hey Guys!!

This post is long overdue. Remember the time I went on a 2 week hiatus, no one even messaged/commented to say they missed me/asked why I disappeared, but it's all good, I missed you and I missed blogging too. Like I mentioned, I was doing a lot of travelling, my cousin got married and I visited 5 cities in 8 days. I've finally gotten round to sharing the Engagement pictures with you. 

A little history lesson: my dad's side of the family is pretty symmetrical. My Grandma had 4 children, each of her children had 3 children: 2 boys and a girl or 2 girls and a boy. So, there are a total of 12 Grandchildren, 6 boys and 6 girls. All but one grandchild were present at the first Morgan Wedding in our generation. I'm the second grand-daughter and Detola is the first. I've arranged the pictures in order of age. All the girls touched the camera at one point or the other this day so Photo Credits go to them. They think I'm vain sha but I disagree, I just like pictures, there is a difference y'all!

Detola, the wisest!
Evita, Remember her from the Monochrome post
Dolapo, my sister, a Certified Fronter, the others let me Peck them but she had to be different.

Chifum, I think she looks like a model in this picture

Layemi, the youngest and the calmest

So I had no plan to tie gele, but when I saw that Dolapo and Evita got theirs done, I followed suit. Mine didn't last very long on my head though, I couldn't stand the pain.






Talk to the Hand!! 















Komole, ma jo lo!

    1. LOL, they weren't interested in the photoshoot session atall, two of them are below 10 so all they cared about was playing games and running around.

      Awww, Yayyy, that makes me very Happy :)
      I'm glad you decided to turn a new leaf!
