WNS: Hey! Where's the Ring?..Coming on an Eagle! Naomi & Dayo's Wedding Pictures & Videos

Today Weddings N Style is bringing something exciting and different. Naomi & Dayo's wedding was a blend of two distinct cultures into one which made it fun and unique.

What do you do if your bestman can't find the wedding ring? Watch the video below and learn a thing or two...

Read the couple's story below and enjoy the pictures and videos.

Naomi's Story 

I met Dayo in 2006. I was schooling in Montgomery College at the time. The first time I met him, I knew there was something special about him. Over the years we continued communicating vie email, call, text, online. We would not see each other for several years till 2011. We (or should I say I) were both busy in doing our own things. Busy with school, professions and so on. When we finally caught up I had just moved back to Maryland from Virginia. And he was in Columbia, MD. That was when we decided to take the relationship seriously. Dayo proposed to me in June 2012 at Copper Canyon Grill in downtown Silver Spring over a romantic dinner for two and I said YES! And the rest is history.

Dayo's Story 

You know, it’s funny -- our first date was in 2006, but we only got into a relationship five years later. For a long time, Naomi was like a blinking light: on one moment, off the next. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why she was popping in and out of my life, why she didn’t want to take the next step, why it seemed like something was holding her back. One day, out of the blue, Naomi sent me a message pleading for me to call her, and she finally revealed why she had been hesitant with me. (I’m not Cameroonian, obviously!). But I had to ask myself, Why did I tolerate this back-and-forth thing with her when I had never done so with anyone else? Simple: I realized I was truly in love with Naomi. And this time, this light was going to burn steadier and brighter than ever before

WNS: Two Countries, Two Cultures become ONE ... Naomi & Dayo's Traditional Wedding Video

Watch this interesting and lovely mix of two countries and cultures into a wonderfully blended Traditional Wedding Ceremony.

According to Olu, "When you mix rich and unique cultures, the product will be amazing and remarkable. Naomi and Dayo's traditional wedding was a fuse of beautiful cultures strengthened by love. Naomi is from Bamenda, in Northwestern Cameroon and Dayo is Yoruba from Western Nigeria. This was definitely a cultural and beautiful wedding. The bride was stunning and the groom could not help but profess his undying love. This made me choose Banky W's "Till My Dying Day" as my song of choice. I wish Naomi and Dayo a happy married life and I am so grateful that they selected me as their wedding videographer."

Wedding Date: 7/26/2013
Location: Maryland, U.S.A

WNS: Ogechi & Samuel Traditional Wedding Pictures

Ogechi met Sam in her first year at the University of Lagos. This is the story of their proposal according to the bride… I left Nigeria a year later and was so sad to leave Sam behind. The distance put a strain on our relationship and we eventually broke up. A year later Sam called me and we talked about how miserable we both were, and decided to give love another chance. We talked everyday (the calling card company loved me) and grew even closer. I then decided to visit Nigeria in 2009; 5 years later. When I laid my eyes on Sam, it was as though I had never left, and we knew from that point on that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Sam joined me 2 years later in 2011, and in December of 2012, he and my sister, Akunna, began planning a surprise proposal. I knew something was going on, but I was so sure I would find out because my sister sucks at surprises. Sam worked and lived 2 hours away and said he couldn’t visit that weekend because of work. I had my extended family in North Carolina for the holidays and really wanted them to finally meet Sam, so I was a little upset that he couldn’t make it. Akunna decided to “cheer” me up by polishing my nails and going out to dinner, but we weren’t sure where to go. Out of the blue, my phone rings, and it was Genevieve, my family friend. She said she was bored and also wanted to hang out-perfect timing! We all decided to have dinner at our favorite Japanese steak house, and surprisingly my brothers also wanted to join us (Akunna, you little planner lol). My brothers never go anywhere with us!!! Upon arrival at the restaurant, I noticed the waitresses were extremely cheesy and friendly. They took us to a private room, saying they had no more room in the main dining area. The room was so dim and I remember asking ‘’where the light was?” lol. A few close friends arrived later and I was surprised to see them there. They simply said they saw us coming in and decided to say hey (nice one sis). Genny was super late and I started blowing up her phone. She later arrived, and before I could start going in on how late she was, I noticed Sam standing right behind her with some flowers (apparently almost everywhere had closed for the holidays, and they were trying to find flowers…I love you Genny). I was in total shock because I didn’t expect to see him there. I immediately began to cry because from then on, I knew I had just been punked. I looked at everyone in the room and was so happy because they were the ones I wanted to share such moment with. Sam immediately got on one knee and asked me to be his wife, and I said YES!
