Adesua Etomi-Wellington & Banky W tug at our heartstrings with their Tradiversary Messages

It’s been exactly one year since Adesua Etomi-Wellington and her husband Banky W shut Lagos down with their iconic #BAAD2017 traditional wedding.

To mark the day, the couple has the loveliest words not only for each other, but for all of us, too.

Adesua, writing about her love for her husband, shared:

On this day, the quiet moments were the best. Moments when I felt like it was just you and I. I thought back on the tough months we had before this day (surgery And healing) and how God brought us through. He’s still keeping us and he has given us the most beautiful life.

A year ago, I was sure that I loved you as much as I thought was humanly possible. A year later and I realise that I was so wrong. I love you so much more. Thank you for stretching my heart muscles and being such an amazing human being and husband. My husband. Still in awe of the man that you are. There’s nothing more amazing than waking up and seeing you right next to me. I love you more than I can put into words. My purpose partner, my guy, my lover (slurp😍🌊), my bubba.

You were worth the wait.

LOVE YOU PIECES.

Happy tradiversary honey @bankywellington

Banky, on his part, implored us to wait for the right person, like he did, and not let the pressure get to us. He shared:

By far the best decision I have made in my adult life, was to wait until I found my wife. People will pressure you and try to make you feel inadequate or incomplete.. all because you’re not living according to their own mental timetable. Ignore them.

Focus on your journey, your happiness, and on making yourself a better person. My prayer is that you will discover, like I did, that the right person is worth waiting for.

Mrs W… I’m still amazed that I get to call you mine. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for building with me. Thank you for believing in me and for inspiring me to be a better man. My purpose partner, my rock, my destiny, my Shug, my wife, my life… Happy tradiversary Skuu. Love you SCATTER. 😍😭🙌🏽😩 #BAAD2017#BAAD2018
