What to wear
Olive green and ivory
The colours of the day. Come in olive green, ivory, or both — the aso-ebi is cut in the same.

Purple and pink belong to the two families. They are in the decoration — the flowers, the drapes, the seal on your invitation — not on the guest list. Please don't wear them.
Getting there
Abuja and Gboko
Two of the three celebrations are in Abuja and one is in Benue State, so most guests will make one journey, not three.
Abuja
The registry and the wedding
Flights land at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Merrymakers Event Centre is at 702 Kashim Ibrahim Way in Wuse 2, in the centre of town, so a taxi or a ride-hailing car will find it from the airport or from anywhere in the city.
The civil registry is in Abuja too, on the Wednesday of that same fortnight. The exact venue is still being fixed.

Gboko
The traditional
Gboko is in Benue State. Guests coming from Abuja travel by road, and it is a long drive — if you can, come the evening before rather than setting off on the morning itself.
We are still settling the route, the departure time and whether we can put on transport for the group. As soon as that is decided it goes here, and everyone who has claimed an invitation gets an email.

Where to stay
Beds, not yet booked
We have not fixed a hotel block yet. Rather than send you to a list we have not checked, we would rather leave this space honest: when we have names, rates and a booking code for Abuja and for Gboko, they will be right here.
If you are travelling from outside Nigeria and need to book early, claim your invitation now — that is how we know to write to you the moment the hotels are settled.
