2017 has been a very interesting year. From celebrity engagements, weddings to out of the box pre-wedding shoots, performances that left us wowed and more, we present the wedding or love related moments that went viral in 2017.

Enjoy!

1. Adesua Etomi & Banky Wellington were #BAAD17 – They were #BAAD for hiding this juicy secret from all of us for so long. Nigeria and social media went into a state of love overdrive the moment R&B singer Banky Wellington and Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi announced in May that they got engaged secretly in February in Cape Town. It was only a matter of seconds before the memes, hashtags and more started rolling in.

2. Ebuka’s Agbada by Ugo Monye stood out for all the right reasons; so much that it inspired a lot of memes and inspirational posts about how one client can make your business blow.

10. Pay before you congratulate: Because 2018 is the year that we will all blow, this business idea should not be adopted at more Nigerian weddings so that the couple can recoup the cost of their very expensive wedding and maybe buy a house that they can settle into. What do you think?

Bonus: Because you read all the way till the end, we saved the best for last as a bonus. This groom put on a show for his bride and videographer, Scobo shot it captured the moment.

Teal seemed to be the aso ebi colour of the week. From #Alfreds2017 to #TheSOLExperience17, here’s a quick look at all the teal goodness we saw.

Then, we saw this very controversial question on Twitter by @MaliseTweets regarding weight loss and being asked to be a bridesmaid. We definitely know what our response would be if we were ever asked this question. See the tweet below;
