THE September 20, 2014 wedding of Senator Florence Ita-Giwa’s daughter, Kokoeka Florence Mayen and Chimaobi Shawcross has set high society astir as preparations reach high pitch. Boxed invitation package wrapped in fuchsia and purple silk along with the lace aso ebi, headgear and aso oke cap are being dropped on the doorsteps of Nigeria’s most engaging and colourful characters from all walks of life. The nuptials which will begin with a traditional engagement in Cross River will set Lagos aglow on September 20. The civil ceremony is scheduled for The Methodist Church of the Trinity, Tinubu, Lagos (at 3 p.m), with a lavish reception slated for Eko Hotel & Suites on Victoria Island (Lagos). Those close to the politician and socialite who has been a fixture of high society for about four decades claimed that the wedding will be as grand as it will be elegant.
