26yrs Anu Yusuf a Nigerian lady who Graduated With First Class From Birmingham City University Marries Same Day. She wore
two important outfits - her wedding dress and graduation cap and gown, in a day double joy.
Her splendid story after the cut...
Anu received her Law LLB in a ceremony at Symphony Hall alongside hundreds of her fellow students on Wednesday 27 July, wearing a traditional cap and gown.
Merely hours before, Nigeria-born Anu was dressed all in white, as she tied the knot at Birmingham Register Office.
Anu and her now husband – Joseph Kolawole Ola, 27, – met four years ago in Gombe while working as part of Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), and their subsequent engagement was prolonged as a result of her coming to study in the UK.
“My husband often joked that he would whisk me away after my
graduation to marry me because he can no longer wait. So, we decided to
marry on my actual graduation day!
“Romance aside, it certainly worked well logistically too, as it meant that our relatives only had to travel once for both occasions. We both have family all over the UK and we were conscious of taking up too much of their time and for all the added expense in making the same journey twice.” Anu said
Yusuf and Ola’s wedding started at 10.40am with a civil ceremony at Birmingham Register Office. Following the official wedding photography, the entire party headed for a midday blessing at Yusuf’s church, VBCI Treasure Sanctuary. Congrats
