It was a day where tradition danced with elegance, and love wore the crown. In a grand traditional ceremony that shimmered with gold, silk, and royal splendor, Prince Adewale Oriola Adeyemi, an Ijebu prince and barrister, took the hand of his beloved, Princess Temilade Remi Adeoye, in marriage — sealing a union that beautifully bridged heritage and heart.
Held at the Five Palm Event Centre in Oniru, Lekki, Lagos, the wedding was a regal affair that gathered the crème of society — from royal dignitaries and business magnates to cultural icons and family elders. The atmosphere brimmed with colour, music, and a deep reverence for the royal traditions of Ijebuland.
The couple’s families — the Adeyemis of Ijebu-Ode and the Adeoyes of Oke-Lamuren — share a legacy rooted in nobility, leadership, and devotion to community. Prince Adewale, grandson of the late Prince Fasasi Adebisi Adeyemi (Obanlefa), hails from the distinguished Fusengbuwa Ruling House. His bride, Princess Temilade, is the daughter of the late Oba Aderemi Adeoye, the first Lamuren of Oke-Lamuren — a monarch remembered for his wisdom, grace, and service to his people.
As the talking drums echoed and the royal procession unfolded, the event became more than a wedding — it was a celebration of continuity, a moment where the past and present held hands.
Prince Adeleke Adeyemi, speaking with pride, described the union as “a divine continuation of royal heritage and blessing.”
“The couple represents the essence of Ijebu royalty,” he said. “They carry within them the spirit of honour, service, and love — values that have defined our lineage for generations.”
Beaming beside his radiant bride, Prince Adewale described Temilade as a “virtuous royal woman who completes his world.”
“As a proud son of Ijebuland, I sought a partner who shares my values and understands our roots,” he said warmly. “Princess Temilade embodies grace, humility, and strength — she is everything a royal woman should be. Together, we pray that our home will reflect the peace and blessing of our ancestors.”
As twilight descended on the city, the couple’s union glowed not only with luxury but with the warmth of shared heritage and love. Their story is a reminder that even in a modern world, tradition still whispers its beautiful truth — that love, when anchored in legacy, becomes eternal.
