- Tumi & Wole


Wedding Party

Meet the Bride's Baddies

Dami Oshoffa

Yay! My Tumi is getting married.
what can I say? I’ve known her all her life, and almost all of mine. Tumi is my cousin, friend, confidant, Besty, and son’s Godmother. We’ve had our shares of laughs, tears and good times. I’m so excited she’s found her Prince Charming. I’m happy to support her all the way to the Alter in the presence of our loving family and friends. Tumi and Wole I wish you both nothing but the very best, a happy happy marriage and a home blessed with babies as beautiful as mine….Love you both!

Samantha Prosper

Tumi is the true definition of “linesister turned friend”. I met her back in 2007 while we were both aspirants of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Over these past 8 years, Tumi and I have grown so close and I am so thankful to call her one of my closest friends. I am truly honored to be apart of this union, as I remember the time Tumi and Wole met. Having the opportunity to witness their journey has been inspiring, and is a true testament of God’s perfect will. I am so happy for you two!! Always remember that if you love God, continue to keep Him first in your lives…especially your marriage, you two will always be blessed!

I love you both!

Ashley Hicks

Oh where do I began? From business school classes, to trips to New York dancing with Taye Diggs, to graduating SIDE BY SIDE, to our infamous peace sign pose, Tums is the little big sister I’ve never had. Big, because I’ve always called her my “voice of reason”, and little, although her maturity will not let her show it… She’s a baby! Lol I love you to the MOON and I’m so happy and honored to be standing beside you on the BIGGEST day of your life! As you embark on this journey remember to laugh a lot, don’t sweat the small stuff, and most importantly always consult God on each and every decision you two make. I pray God’s will over your union for a lifetime and can’t wait for little Wole’s :-)

Aisha Shinkafi

My dearest Tums, my twin sister, my partner in joy and crime, my email, msn messenger, shopping partner. We have been through it all together! You are so full of life, smart, gentle, loving and kind (but of course with some drama) there is just too much to say.
You and Wole are blessed to have each other.
I wish you nothing but pure bliss and eternity of joy. Through the highs and the lows always remember to hold on firmly to God. May he protect you throughout your journey and bless your family abundantly.
I love you forever, I will always be here for u. I am so glad to witness this although I can not believe where all the time has gone. I simply can’t wait to squeeze your babies!

Bimbola Ayanwale

My Tums! I pray that this next journey in your life will be all that you’ve dreamt about and more. I pray that you and Wole continue to love yourselves (for life) and grow together in everything you both do. Remember to continue praying and be true to one another.

Enjoy this next chapter of your lives xxx

Lola Fatinikun

Tumitums!! She’s the sweetest!! When I met her I knew right away my brother had found the one.
Love is a beautiful thing, and you are both lucky to have found each other.
I’m happy to have gained a sis in Tumi for she has become a sister that I adore. Although I don’t have a sister, I am most fortunate with one of the most loving sister in law I could have asked for. I am so thankful you are my sister in law I can honestly say you’re a blessing to our family.
Wishing you both a wonderful beginning and a love to last a lifetime.
Always remember to put God first!
I love you guys.

Fadeke Osideinde

I’ve known Tumi for just about 10 years but the past 3 years we’ve become much closer. Thank you so much for being a valuable and awesome friend, I’m so honored to be sharing in the fun and excitement of your big day. I appreciate you, and I wish you and Wole the very best as you start on this adventure together!

Chelsea Ozigboh

I met Tumi about 12 years ago. We had an interesting first encounter, to say the least. From that day on, our relationship grew to the sisterhood that we share today. I have always said that Tumi was created to be someone’s wife. She has always exhibited the qualities of a wife, including that of being one of the best cooks I know (I’m hoping she will keep cooking for me AND her new family). She doesn’t know this (well, she does now that she has read this), but I have always asked God to send her a husband who would love her unconditionally. She got that. From the moment I met Wole, I knew that she had met a man that would grow to be her best friend. I didn’t know if he would be her husband, but I knew that God had sent her a man who would love her unconditionally. In May of 2014, God confirmed that Wole was the husband he sent (good job on that ring!). I remembered screaming (I was at someone else’s wedding reception, so oops) and have been so genuinely happy for my sister and my new pseudo brother-in-law to start their journey together as husband and wife. I am ready for this wedding. I don’t dance, but I will be dancing that day, so you can hold me to that. I am also thankful to Wole for accepting me as an intermittent participant at the dinner table (hint hint) and as a future godmother to one of the children (hint hint to both of you). I love you both! Don’t forget to always put God at the center of your relationship.

Timi Fatinikun

As my older brother, you’ve been a great role model to me, and my siblings, I couldn’t have asked for a better big brother. It’s hard to describe our relationship in just a few sentences, but just know i can’t wait for your big day. Congratulations to you and Tumi.

Tj Fatinikun

Let’s just start with this I am extremely blessed to have Wole as my brother. Ever since I was young he has set an example for me and the rest of our siblings, that I can’t be more happy that the Lord has allowed him to meet a beautiful person to spend his life with. I’m extremely excited for you Wole. The Family is extremely excited and we are so proud to call you our brother! Congratulations to you and Tumi and toast to a future filled with blessings!

Demola Akinola

So happy for my brother from another! Wole and I go way back, back into the 90’s. I met Wole over 20 years ago in high school, same stand-up guy till date. We were roommates when he moved down to MD in 2007, and we continue to remain close. Again, happy for you and Tumi; I’m honored to stand by your side on your big day, God Bless.

Fareed Arogundade

Tumi and Wole 2015! I cant wait for this one (my H – Town crew). I couldn’t be any more happier that you guys found each other. I’ve known both you guys practically all my life and I’m confident this will be a blessed union. Wole continue to treat my sister like the Queen she is (4 bags a year minimum). Anyways I trust you and I’ll see you guys in October.

Godwin Odumah

Wole is a great guy, we go way back. I was instrumental in his introduction to Tumi, so lets just say he owes me some money and I will be coming to collect on the 17th of October first and then be a part of their wedding second. Only joking. I recently got married myself and I can definitely attest to marriage being a beautiful thing. From much earlier on it was obvious that Wole and Tumi were meant to be together, I can only wish them the best and a long and happy life together.

Dr. Emmanuel Akpata

Wole is an amazing person, a loyal, loving and a true brother. Our relationship began about 15 years ago and has gotten stronger as the years pass. He has a very big heart and I am completely filled with Joy that he found the only person God created for him to give the entire heart to. Congrats to you both and may God bless your marriage with endless Joy and Laughter.

Dr. Ruki Odiete

I have known Wole way back since August 2000, when the American embassy was crazy enough to give me a student visa to come study in this country. (God bless America!). I’ve known him way back when we needed fake IDs to get into clubs, way back when we use to take crazy road trips in college to places I cannot disclose. Lol…Wole was always the most trust worthy one of the group, who took the car keys and made sure everybody’s drunk “behind” got home safely. He was always the DD (Designated Driver). He was the only level headed and reliable person that always drove the speed limit. We all trusted Wole with our lives.
In other words, if Wole could do this for his friends who he only likes 50% of the time, I know he will go over and beyond for someone he loves 100%. Thus, I can say for a fact that Tumi is lucky to have found Wole, but not as lucky as Wole is to have found her. I got the chance to meet Tumi and I think Wole is one of the luckiest man on earth to have found a Proverbs 31 woman. (Hence there reason why I’m still single. It’s rough out here!). You guys are truly blessed to have found each other. A match made in Heaven.

George Amiye

Wole and I met at Temple University. We became friends naturally because we have similar values. Even though we had lots of fun while in school, Wole knew the importance of hard work and discipline.
I am more handsome than Wole, but I know Wole will be the Handsomest and happiest man on that day. I am honored to be part of the wedding ceremony. I wish Wole and Tumi a perfect union.
