In what may be the most fascinating wedding in Nigeria, adjudged to be the first in Africa and listed to be the 251st in the world by the officials of the Guinness Book of World Records, the two twin couples (Folawemi Taiwo Okunniyi and Chinonso Akinade Okueze, Febisola Kehinde Okunniyi and Chibuzor Adelakin Okueze) walked down the aisle on the same day, Saturday, November 30th, 2013 in Lagos.

The nuptial which took place at the Four-square Gospel Church, Omole, Ikeja District Headquarters.

Folawemi Taiwo Okunniyi and Febisola Kehinde Okunniyi are identical twin sisters from the same parents and they hail from Ondo State, and the grooms, Chinonso Akinade Okueze and Chibuzor Adelakin Okueze are also identical twins from the same parents from Asaba, Delta State.

Contrary to what many may think that it was an ‘arranged’ marriage project, one of the grooms, Chinonso, said it wasn’t planned that way.

He said “When I saw Fola, I was struck. Unlike what many think that ‘Kehindes’ are always faster, I was sharper than him. I started dating Fola first, but one day, I noticed that he was going out, but he didn’t tell me where he was going.

That was so strange so I decided to find out where he was going, and I realised he was visiting the Okunniyis. He later told me he likes Febi, and I told him it was okay that he should stick to her, because I already had my eyes on Fola.”
Chibuzor also re-iterated his twin brother’s claim that the joint wedding wasn’t initially planned.

“We thank God and give Him all the glory. I pray that this ‘friendship’ that has started today will last for a very long time,” he enthused.
