VIENNE'S INTRODUCTION MAKEOVER

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!

LOOOOONGEST POST EVER

GRAB YOUR POPCORN.... WHILE I GRAB MY WHEATMEAL AND WHITE SOUP

THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE A LOVE NOTE, PLEASE, JUST BEAR WITH MEandifyoucannot,thentearyourdress!!!
 

So....... why the exclamations? why the noise? why the long post?...this is about my love...the darlingest of them all...the realest and the strongest, but I'll try to keep it as brief as possible(sic!).

HOW WE MET 

I attended Uni with this babe(please don't even ask me any hard questions...the name of the Uni is in my past!). And this babe was a meany!!!! One day, she fixed one kain hair like that to class and I went to her to ask for the name of the weave...hian, see wahala, she now said she didn't know...like seriously!!!!! But as the good christian my momma raised me to be, I forgave her whole-heartedly. (Trust me, this is the only version to this story...hahahahhah)

Anyways, fast forward 2 or 3 years, we ended up in the same law school in Abuja and since we both didn't have roomates, and we had mutual friends, and were from the same Uni, Tobi and Enitan(also from 'the-Uni-that-shall-not-be-named) thought it a great idea to pair us...*we both rolled our eyes* but anyway, in the words of Sir Usman Sakalola Pedigree,  "half egg roll is better than rockbuns "...better each other, than some Ogbanje girl from one yeye university...Law School wasn't for games...234k wasn't beanzzz!

As the good God would have it(humming some negro spiritual songs now), this geh became my P-I-C, my love, my violin-player, my business analyst, my agony aunt, my school mother; heck, she used to tuck me in bed and clear my books and laptop from my bed whenever i dozed off from watching Boondocks or South Park!!!(You thought I was gonna say reading MyNLS notes abi *snorts* aint nobody got time for that...hahaha!!! I pray my father doesn't read this post, otherwise, I'm finished!!!!)
We've been through a lot together...Vienne, you remember when our skirts couldn't size us again because we ate too much meatpie during class break...such tragic moments!!!

Unto more serious things...This babe was one of my biggest encouragers, critics, and cheerleaders in my makeup business...So, while in law school, when i was still drawing strange things called eyebrows, this babe booked her makeup(FYI, her sis is a fantastic MUA)...such was the relationship that existed between me and my bae!!!!
Realistically, I can't even write everything I'm supposed to...But let's sha move to the main story(I'll wait for you while you get your boli and epa)

FIRST OF ALL.....INTRODUCTION!!!

Remember I said this babe booked her makeup while we were in law school but I honestly didn't expect her to take it seriously 3 years afterwards....I mean!!!!
Anyway, that's how she called me for her 3-part wedding....oh yes......3!!! We discussed cash cos she insisted on paying me despite my protests(I speak from the bar)......and that marked the beginning of my trauma since January...Bridezilla was born!!!!

BEING BRIDEZILLA

Vienne would send me pictures of Beyonce with threats attached "you had better make me look like this for my intro or else....."
Vienne would send me face charts of Contour and Highlighting at 3:00a.m.
Vienne would harass me for not acknowledging payment of her deposit within 4seconds of getting the alert!!!
Vienne would stalk my dp on BBM and save pictures of my other brides and lecture me on her modifications and variations
Vienne sent me pictures of virtually every makeup artist in Nigeria and abroad...always at ungodly hours
I had to block vienne's number and tagged her 'winch client'
Bridezilla was also giving her event planner, Bolanle of B' signature, hell:
she wanted all white chair covers
she wanted maidens waiting at the door to receive the guests
she wanted the traditional troupe playing the drums and not the DJ  while her makeup was being done
Bolanle was to ensure that the Welcome signs and Red Carpet were on point(and I'm not even joking)
she wanted EVERYTHING!!!!
But I still love her to death despite all...

So, on the 26th of April 2014, we all assembled at Her Royal Highness' residence and got the show cracking........Brushes n Colours, B'signature, Jeffrey Olalekan and a host of other vendors, maidens, royal subjects, and the court jester made this introduction between VIVENNE NDUKWE and 'YEMI yumyum ODOFIN and their families a memorable one...Let me even spare you the details of their love story......all I know is, I cried......
