It was billed as the wedding of the year, and so it was no surprise that
everybody wanted to be present there. It didn’t matter to some people
whether they were invited or not. It was 2Face‘s wedding and they just
had to attend.
So, it ended up being a struggle. Here's the full gist of the Dubai wedding....
Gate Crashers
Quite
a number of people gave out their invites to friends who were overjoyed
to attend even if they didn’t know Annie and 2face personally. They
made it worse by coming with other friends who were equally not invited.
2Face & Annie’s Love Boat
After
having a huge turnout of guests, things got even more interesting as it
became the survival of the fittest to get on the ferry that conveyed
everyone to the venue of the reception which was ‘The Royal Beach
Island’.
It wasn’t easy even for 2face and Annie to get onto their
own love boat. 2face who hardly ever gets angry complained bitterly
about it to those already on board. “Ol’boy, Na wao, to enter my own
boat na wahala, our own boat o”.
Security Guards force their way on board.
The
workers on the boat kept shouting “Move back, you will die”; scared
that people might fall inside the water as they tried to force their way
in. Twice Senator Florence Ita Giwa tried to get in but she was pushed
back. The organizers begged her for patience as they tried to get her on
board but it didn’t work. There was nothing like VIP entry into the
boat.
She later went home. After all, she lives like a queen in her
beautiful house in Dubai. Wunmi Obe also could not attend the Beach
Island reception as she could not get into the boat.
Clueless Organizers
They
may have successfully organized big weddings but 2face and Annie
Idibia’s wedding organizers should have known that this particular
wedding would be a different kettle of fish altogether. A handful of
fans came from different parts of the world believing they would get in
and they did.
One member of the organising team, Naomi Adenuga was
very rude to guests. “I don’t care if you are a dignitary or celebrity,
get off the boat”, she shouted; insisting on the black card which was
distributed at the venue to their own friends and people as the new
authentic invite to the boat; ignoring many invited guests that flew in
with their own money.
