Low-cost wedding reception

At the beginning of her video, Abidemi showed people what the living room looked like before rearranging and decorating the event.

All her couches and a centre table were removed to make more room. When the decoration was done, the room looked like a mini event hall.

Happy couple get married

Her flat TV, however, remained on the wall. The lady shared another clip showing the moment her civil wedding was done in the presence of her family and friends.

As she walked down the aisle to meet her husband at the altar, her professional videographer followed them with lighting.

Abidemi wore a simple white wedding gown, holding a bouquet. People congratulated the young couple.

The bride stated that she “DIY” most of the things she used for her wedding. While she was making small chops for her guests, she had assistance.
