It was a union of class and style and panache on
Saturday, November 3, 2016, when Phoebe, daughter of Brila FM owner, Dr. Larry
Izamoje and her Prince Charming, Damilola Asolo, walked down the aisle.
The young couple’s day began with the solemnization of
their union at Salem International Christian Centre, in Lekki, Lagos, before
climaxing with a spectacular reception at the Convention Centre of Eko Hotel
and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Attended by the likes of CVL founder, Prof. Pat Utomi

Ogunkoya (MD, Media Reach), Speaker, Edo State House of Assembly, Dr. Justin

From the sports world, we had one-time African Footballer
of the Year, Victor Ikpeba, erstwhile goal poacher, Julius Aghahowa, soccer
ambassador, Friday Nwankwo Kujah, Alhaji Rafiu Ladipo, President, Nigerian
Supporters Club, among many others.
The reception began with the arrival of guests, then the
ushering in of the bride and groom’s parents. Followed by the couple, their
first dance, chairman’s opening remarks, a special prayer for Phoebe and
Damilola, then the opening prayer, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance,
cutting of cake, closing prayer, groom’s response, toast and so on.
Very well put together, the anchor was the Comedy
Berluscconi, Gordons. There was also a surprise performance by Humblesmith of
the Osinachi fame who we understand is one of the bride’s favourite artistes.
Fast rising comedian, Akpororo, multiple award winning gospel artiste, Sammie
Okposo and rave crooner, Falz, the bad guy, equally performed. Same with the
couple who sang special numbers for each other.
The bride looked dazzling in her floor-caressing white
gown, with a tiara on her head. The groom, on the other hand, opted for a
combination of navy blue and brown ensemble with a sumptuous pair of.
He rode in a brown Range Rover Sport while she arrived in
a gray Ford Flex, accompanied by their groom’s man (Greg Kitay) and chief
bride’s maid (Debbie Larry-Izamoje). Their bridal train, made up of Paul Lalas,
Rahman Abdulraheem, Qudus Agbaje, Olamide Dosunmu, Olumide Mebude, Becky
Larry-Izamoje, Toluwalase Asolo, Sarah Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Daphne Akatugba
looked heavenly in their burgundy and white combination.
#PDA16, like the young couple code-named their wedding,
was planned and co-ordinated by Trendybee. And for a very long time to come, it
will continue to rank among the best in the annals of wedding in Nigeria, and
even beyond.
An elated father of the bride, Dr. Larry Izamoje, who
kept moving from table to table to appreciate all those that attended had thing
to say: “Thanks so much. Your prayers, presence and gift added to the overall
success of the wedding of our daughter. We thank you and have raised our voices
to the Almighty God to richly reward you and your family…”
