Ijeoma Agada - Maid of Honor
You may know her as "Amarachi", but I call her Aunty. I've known her all my life, as she has helped raise me from birth. So technically, she met me before I met her, Lol!
There are so many great things about my aunt! She has this unshakable taste for excellence and is someone who refuses to settle for less! Another significant quality I admire in her, is her quest for fitness. You know, There are only a few people in this world that have the gift of looking like they are "25", for the rest of their life, and she's one of them!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Eze through my Aunt Amarachi and the rest is history! Now, for the short time that I've known Uncle Eze, he has been a gentlemen. His faith in God, knowledge and desire to get better, definitely sets him apart!
As a couple, I truly admire their humility and tenacity to maintain a standard by honoring God in their relationship.

The first time I saw Amarachi sitting next to Dr. Eze in church, there was no question that they came together, there was something special about her. He seemed so happy and his dance moves where different that day... You could tell there was joy deep in his heart....to avoid writing a textbook, I’ll stop here.
I met Dr. Eze on a thanksgiving evening at our Asst. Pastor’s house. Over time I observed and got to know him as someone that is very dependent on God.
I see the hand of God in their relationship... this is what God can do. It’s a privilege to be a major part of this new beginning. Trust God

The Health Guru! I love the fact that she takes her health as a priority. I’ve learned so much from her. My twin! On many occasions, people have confused us two and it is quite hilarious. Well, my aunt has been present throughout my entire life. My brother and I gave her a hard time babysitting when we were kids… (sorry aunty!) lol. We definitely owe you for that.
She is more like an older sister to I and my siblings. She has been a blessing to my family and we are so excited for her big day! I wish you both God’s best, a loving marriage, a beautiful family, and long life as you embark on this wonderful journey!

I met Eze when I stepped foot in San Antonio for the first time in July 2018 at Bethel Covenant Assembly of God, although there is a slim chance I may have run into him at some point, having grown up and lived in Ibadan, Nigeria for about 20 years of my life, especially since he lived there also. It’s little wonder we agree on quite a number of things.
The High Priest (inside joke) is a man of many parts. He can pray, he can preach and teach, he can sing and can even play the keyboard! Haba! Na only you waka come???
Baba Laolu (another inside joke abeg) is one man who generally looks out for the well being of people and is fond of encouraging people when things are good and when things are seemingly not good.
The first time I set my eyes on Amarachi and Eze together (I won’t disclose where; come and beat me), I said to myself, “Boy, this is certainly going to work out just fine,” and months after, I still have the same assertion as I did that day.
I am convinced that this journey of marriage both of them are embarking on together will be such a blessed union - so blessed that the evidence of the blessedness will be very visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. And Jesus will be at the center of it all, to God’s praise and glory. Amen!

Eze and I met over a year ago. He is a great guy and really loves God. He can really be funny and crack you up. I love you man. Stay on top, and God's grace.
Shehina Agada - Bridesmaid
I am Aunty Amarachi’s niece and she does so much for me. She does my hair, she makes food for me, she takes me places(specifically school), she buys things for me, she’s always waking me up for church and school...she is truly a God sent. I love how Aunty Amarachi’s and Uncle Eze’s bond is so strong and close and how honest they are with each other. I am so honored and grateful to be apart of this wedding and I wish Uncle Eze and Aunty Amarachi a blessed and fruitful marriage.

I first met the bride in high school and attended college together in Atlanta, GA. Our college group was known as the “Cali (California) Crew” and we stuck together through it all. “Chichi”, as she is affectionately called, was my dorm-mate freshman year and my roommate in the following years. She will always be remembered for her calm demeanor, which was critical because we lived with 3 other women with very big personalities, myself included. Chichi was a breath of fresh air after a fight with the other roommates over the air conditioner or food. She is truly a gem and deserves the upmost happiness. Congratulations!!

I think I remember meeting Eze when I was playing drums about almost a year ago at Bethel Covenant Assembly of God. He told me I played drums well but I had room for improvement.
One thing I admire is how he teaches in church especially in Sunday School. He teaches really well and likes to contribute in Sunday school even when he’s just listening to someone else teach.

According to my Aunt Amarachi, I was a trouble-maker and a complete handful during my toddler years. Can you blame me?.. I'm sure I might have been a little stubborn knowing that I was left to fend for myself in a house full of women lol. Nevertheless, as I grew up I couldn't deny that she was one of the 'cool' aunts and always willing to help me navigate through this journey called life. From her helping to raise me, to me enlisting as her full time Bodyguard, there's no way to express how much of a blessing she has been to me.
I'm a firm believer that God makes everything perfect in his time. I appreciate the groom, Eze, for his patience, zeal, and respect for God's will to be done. I'm excited to be able to witness this matrimony and all that God has in store for the both of you. Wishing you everlasting love, joy, and happiness on your wedding day and as you begin your new life together.

Sweet sweet Amarachi! I’m so blessed to call you family. You have always been someone who I can easily talk to about anything and you have such a youthful and vibrant spirit. I always feel at ease when I’m around you and your heart and love for God is so evident. You have always been like a bigger sister to me and it is nice to have someone else in the family who works in the public health field too (there are not a lot of us haha!). You are an amazing woman through and through. I’m so thankful that you have found a man who not only loves and cherishes you but has a deep love for God. I pray that your marriage is one full of love and that you always keep God at the center of it all. I’m so honored to be a part of your big day!

I am honored be a part of this great occasion and as one of the nephews of the bride, Amarachi Agada, I say congratulations! I’m privileged to know my aunt on a personal level and I can surely say she can be referred to as an overall phenomenal woman. One thing I appreciate is that the groom, Eze Ogu, cherishes and respects my aunt. Undoubtedly over the years she has instilled in me the principles of respect that have prepared me for my future. I know God will direct their path from now and adorn this in splendid love.

I first met the bride when she came to live with me and my family. I was 10 and she was 15 and it blew my mind to know that she was my aunt and my mom's youngest sibling. I remember us teaching her how to ride a bike and how funny she’d sound when she said “hot dog” with a Jersey accent. My other favorite memory is traveling to Nigeria with her in 2009. So much fun!!
