Down the Aisle (2025) Movie Script

No, I can hear you.
I just came here to pick up a few tubs.
And some other things.
Girl,
I can't wait to get into a relationship
so I can show you all how it's done.
Yes.
To be honest,
I don't understand what you are doing.
I don't understand what you are doing.
She told me she was
giving him time to think.
My point exactly.
It's a life or death question.
Chocolate or salted caramel?
What is...
What is salted pepper?
Disgusting.
Sometimes you talk as if you don't know...
This stupid flash.
Yes, I'm still here.
You know I'm always complaining about
never finding a prospect.
There is this guy.
This...
Decent looking guy.
What do you mean how do I look?
I'll call you back.
All these efforts cannot waste.
Just keep staring at me.
He cannot even take his eyes off me.
Come on, check this out.
I have caught him already!
Wow!
Wait.
Did I say that out loud or in my head?
Are you talking to me?
Oh no, I wasn't.
Because I don't think
there's a problem with
staying safe and energized.
Look, I don't even know you
so I definitely wasn't talking to you.
Bloody fornicator!
I am not judging you
for buying all of this.
Wait.
Salted caramel?
My favorite!
Can I get through?
I've only got these.
Yeah, sure.
Chaz O.
Dara.
Nice to meet you.
The pleasure is all mine.
And so it begins.
The best love story you have ever heard.
[ Singing ]
Mama.
Look, when you see a woman
wearing torquise blue
headgear and red wrapper,
avoid them. I tell you.
Excuse me.
Who is hosting this party?
Didn't you notice the picture outside?
It's Chief Tandore's daughter.
What?
Chief Tandore?
It is Chief Tandore's daughter.
He is one hosting this party.
You should have told me.
Why? Do you know them?
I know them.
Can you imagine?
He is my second father.
Are you for real?
If you had informed me,
we won't be here hustling.
He would have given
me fifty thousand naira.
Really?
Who is Chief Tandore?
That's the problem with you.
You think you'll be fed by all this talk.
You unfortunate and rude beings.
We are giving you enough respect.
We are all doing this job.
You can't act like you
a presidential drummer.
When did you graduate?
Please!
That's not the point.
[ Singing ]
Wow!
That's a generous man.
What song was that?
That is a remix.
You need to update your playlist.
You don't know anything.
Aunty.
Don't talk to a pretty lady like that.
There's a proper way to do that.
Can't you see how she...
Hello baby.
Give me my money, are you crazy?
[ Screams ]
The look on her face says it all.
It is bad.
Alright ladies, fifteen minutes to go.
Are you still doing her makeup?
Stop touching her face!
Don't worry, it's just a little mishap.
It's not a big deal.
Well, a shaved eyebrow is a big deal.
A shaved what?
It's fine.
And Teni, everything is my business.
I am after all the maid of honor.
Not the bride.
Please tell her.
You know what,
ever since the engagement,
you have been getting on my nerves.
The next time you open your
big, fat, stupid and dirty mouth,
I will kick you out of this wedding.
This is not one of your local Lagos
weddings -I'll beat you black and blue.
It may seem a little weird that
I am calm with all the drama
happening around me.
Nothing can spoil my day.
I have come such a long way.
Hi!
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
Actually...
How may I help you?
Can you hold this for me?
Actually, I've been...
You've been what?
looking at you from afar.
Yes?
And...
Actually...
Can I have that please? Thank you.
Sure.
So, uhm...
[ coughs ]
I've actually been looking at you from...
Listen, if you have nothing
to say, don't waste my time.
ADR: Hello. I noticed
you from afar, and I
Hallelujah!
You're welcome to church.
Please.
The pastor said handshake, not smooch.
I started out being picky,
and ended up not being picked.
Years passed and I had
to change things up a bit.
Excuse me.
And when I say change,
Excuse me.
I meant change.
Well, hello there!
I'm sorry, you forgot this.
Thank you.
Nice shirt.
Look at us, already
dressed like a cute couple.
Is that all?
I know this is our first date.
First of many by God's grace.
Amen!
What's your genotype?
AA is a preference.
AS is also acceptable.
We can just pray away the S.
I told you.
Work it girl.
I'll be right back.
Don't worry, I got this.
Hey.
I have a girlfriend.
Shame.
Can you see my point?
At this stage nothing can stop me.
No eyebrow or fighting bridesmaids.
Single life be gone!
Husband, here I come.
I'm sorry, but guys, are you
not taking this day seriously?
Enough!
Please.
Wow! And you thought
nobody would marry you.
Look at God.
Big girl, big God.
You look great.
And that's a lot coming from me.
I'm here.
Why aren't you dressed?
Please, just focus.
I heard some fighting.
What happened, what did I miss?
We can barely see where
Lola shaved your eyebrows.
You shaved her brows?
But it's been fixed.
- It wasn't even a big deal.
- What is your problem?
Must you make a big deal out of everything?
What is your business?
[ Pandemonium ]
ADR: Recalling day she got engaged.
I'm engaged.
Oh my God!
I'm so excited for you girl.
Engaged? Wow!
To who?
Who else?
I am so happy for you babe.
That is how we do it.
But it's been just five months.
Time has nothing to do with it.
Look, he has money and he loves you.
I mean, congratulations and everything.
So you mean no more
chest, I mean no more men.
You know you are my friend right?
I'm down, as long as
I get to pick the dress
and I get unlimited
champagne. I'm there for you.
It's going to be the best day ever.
Here we go.
It's time.
You are finally getting married.
Everything will be perfect.
[ Sighs ]
Oh no.
This isn't a good sign.
You being here isn't a good sign.
Thunder is a great sign.
Thank you Jesus.
Hallelujah.
Showers of blessings.
[ Singing ]
It's okay.
Darasimi, you are beautiful.
Thank you Aunty.
Had it been we had more time,
compared to this rush,
it would have been so much fun.
Maybe it's her first trimester.
Aunty, thank you very much.
Come here.
You can't go like that.
Where are you going?
We have to thank God.
What's happening here?
Perfect timing Daddy.
The men are waiting at the entrance.
What's happening?
No, we were...
Come on, let's go.
No, we have to pray.
Just a little prayer.
Aunty.
We are in his presence.
We are in God's house and
I'm sure everything is fine.
Come here Dara.
Dara!
Are you sure of this?
Sure of what?
It won't cost us anything
to stop this wedding.
Stop what, Aunty?
I'm talking to you and you are leaving.
We can stop this wedding. Right?
Yes.
We've discussed it.
It's been just eight months.
Really?
Aunty Layo.
Today of all days.
I honestly don't need this rubbish today.
God forbid this marriage is ruined soon.
It won't cost us anything
to stop this wedding.
Too bad.
Honey, are you ready?
Okay, let's go.
I am sorry for her father, after
all the money he has spent.
This eight months is the
trend for kids of this generation.
Do you recall Aunty Ranti's daughter?
Yes?
Her friend,
Yes?
The neighbour.
Yes?
That was what she did.
Wow.
But it's none of our business.
We are here to celebrate and eat.
I have aired my piece.
Let us go into the church.
I'll see you inside.
Really, am I mad?
Is eight months too short
a time to fall in love and marry someone?
Are you...
Oludara.
Daddy.
Are you thinking about the weather?
Yeah.
Okay... because... guess what?
What?
Every time the weather
changes and it's about to rain
and it's thunderous
you'll remember your wedding day.
[ laughs ]
I came to say goodnight.
Goodnight.
I don't think I ever told you that story.
You seem distracted.
What's wrong?
Daddy, I was just..
[ laughs ]
Okay.
I was just shocked.
You always find my stories interesting.
And shocking.
[ laughs ]
God forgive me.
I didn't hear anything he said.
Thiinking about my ex on my wedding day.
Father Lord!
They need to wash my head.
What in the world is he doing here?
Babe,
You are taking this thing too serious.
I don't think I am.
It's pretty simple, Mide.
It's either you are with me or not.
Of course I am.
We are having this conversation, aren't we?
Babe, okay.
You know what babe?
I am...
I'm going to tell you one thing,
okay?
I like you.
A lot.
Established.
But,
I also find Folake mildly interesting.
[ laughs ]
Babe.
You know me,
I'm am honest guy, I say it the way it is.
There's no need to
put labels on everything.
Why is everywhere so messy?
And FYI, I do like labels.
I think...
I think everything should have a name.
So, yeah.
I like labels.
Are we dating, are you my
boyfriend or are we engaged?
You know, things like that,
I'll very much like to know.
So I know at least...
Yes of course, I hear you loud and clear.
Yes of course, I hear you loud and clear
I agree that labels are good.
But let me give you an instance.
For example, Solape
is your best friend, right?
Yes, she is.
But sometimes,
you want to hangout with Teni.
Am I right?
Do you catch my drift?
No.
Exactly. Variety is the spice of life.
Mide, I can't do this anymore.
I am out.
Wait.
Baby.
Come on.
Can't you take a joke?
I was playing.
I was kidding, I was joking.
Of course I was kidding.
I want to be with you.
Just you.
Okay?
I want to be staring at these
beautiful eyes for the rest of my life.
And Folake?
Forget about Folake, I'm
going to take care of her.
Right now, let's place our focus on us.
You and I baby.
Mide and Oludara.
I can already picture our wedding hashtag.
It's going to be glorious.
Hashtag "DaraMi".
It has a nice ring to it.
Forget about Folake, right?
How about hashtag "MiFo?"
Where did she come from?
People are crazy.
Baby.
[ Sighs ]
Goodbye Mide.
Babe.
Baby.
Babe come back let's
talk about our hashtag.
Hashtag DaraMi sounds better than MiFo!
What the hell is MiFo?
Baby!
Yeah.
Mide was a real
challenge.
I thank God for deliverance from that one.
The Devil almost got me, but God said no!
Wow!
Challenge.
People came to church!
You know you're loved when your
friends come to church service
because in church, there
is no small chops of jollof.
Why?
How?
Aunty Ekene,
Fatima,
Chuka!
Gosh I feel so loved.
Al my people are here.
Layla.
Oh no, she didn't.
Who shows up at their ex's wedding?
And in black!
Like she's mourning.
This one is determined to drag
this thing to the end. It doesn't matter.
[ Chuckles ]
That's right, take a picture.
This is the face of a winner.
She does have a great body though.
That "curvy celebrity" kind.
I cannot take that away from her.
I guess I should have worn
that butt pad like Lola said.
No, I will just stick it out.
Sweetheart, are you comfortable?
Yes.
Sure?
Yes dad.
Okay Dara, this is ridiculous.
You are beautiful in your own way.
Who needs bum bum?
Who am I kidding?
[ Phone ringing ]
Who allows their phone ring at a wedding?
Who invited this person?
Look at him,
just what I needed to calm my crazy nerves.
He always says the right things.
I really don't want to be here.
What? Excuse me!
So you'll rather be at
home thinking about Mide.
- Please.
- Mide is a fool.
And this is a get over Mide outing.
We are here to have fun.
Hey Kenneth.
Hey baby girl.
You know I had to come through for you.
Happy Birthday!
These are my friends, Lola and Oludara.
Hey guys.
Food is that way, drinks are this way.
[ Screams ]
I think I see some small chops over there.
Oh my God. There are
so many fine boys here.
You know I was talking
about the food right?
Yes, Puff puff.
Let's go.
I'll go get something to drink.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Okay.
[ Giggles ]
I'm sorry.
Watch where you are going.
I'm sorry.
[ Giggles ]
Nice.
This party is banging.
Perfect distraction for our friend here.
What is she doing here?
Oh my God, really?
She asked where we were.
Then you lie.
Hey.
The best friend is here to rescue you.
- Hey boo.
- Hi.
Thanks for the invite, Teni.
I didn't invite you please.
I was being sarcastic.
But you wouldn't know any thing about that.
Do you know anything about boundaries?
Wow Lola, boundaries?
Big word.
Did you just learn that today?
Because...
Okay, stop.
- I'm the friend who got dumped, remember?
- I'm so sorry.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I was looking for you, I got distracted.
You who is always acting busy.
Anyway, this your party or
whatever you choose to call it,
is somehow boring.
Coming from you that's a compliment.
Have you tried the barbecue?
Is your friend okay?
She's fine, thanks.
She's fine, don't mind her.
She's had too much to drink.
No, she did not.
Wait, are you drunk?
What?
What have they done to you?
Okay, fine.
She's not too drunk, she's just...
She's just having a rough day.
Everyone is having a rough day.
It's fine.
My boy was just coming from a girl.
- Hey man.
- Hello.
What's good?
Cheers.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Lanre.
- Teni.
How are you doing?
D, don't be rude.
What?
Somebody is saying hi.
Oludara.
Dara.
Hi, Dara.
My friend Kenneth was
saying I got attacked...
Attacked? Really?
Yeah.
By some...
Some what?
Some what?
You sounded like you
were going to say something.
So go on.
It sounded interesting.
By some...
Babe.
on her phone.
Right.
No big deal, but, you know.
I'm sure it's not.
But it'd have been nice
if she had apologised.
I'm sure she did.
You were probably too angry to listen.
Don't mind our friend,
she's having a not so great day.
Boy drama.
Lola,
the only thing that is not
so great today is your face.
[ laughs ]
Teni, please is it my eyelashes
or is there something in my teeth?
Because I don't understand.
Oh darling, it's everything.
- Look...
- No!
I am tired of this woman.
What is your problem?
Were you sent to get me?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
A round of applause, it's Mr. Lanre.
Listen, sorry about back there.
I wasn't trying to upset you.
I was just trying to break the ice.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
I'm just having the weirdest week.
It's not you.
And I really didn't want to come out today.
If I had my way, I'll be home chilling.
Wait let me guess, with
salted caramel ice-cream?
What?
I'm sorry, I don't get.
We've actually met before.
Can I get through? I've only got these.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, no.
What?
You were there?
I was there and I
witnessed the whole thing.
That is so embarassing.
Love at first sight.
Oh stop.
How's condom guy doing these days?
Condom guy is fine.
I guess.
We went on one date and then...
You don't even have to
explain yourself to me.
You saw everything?
Everything.
Oh my goodness.
Thank you.
What for?
I needed this.
Waiter.
What can I say.
What can I say.
I'm charming.
I can see that.
[ laughter ]
And to be very honest, I think #DaraMi
is way better than #MiFo.
Of course it is.
Thank you.
No worries.
But look, I wanted to slap his stupid face.
Lucky for him, she beat me to it.
My God.
Seriously though, I'm done with men.
I think you are done with
the wrong type of men.
No.
I'm done with all men.
- Every...
- Hey.
Hi.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Are you sure?
I'm very sure.
Solape?
Wow.
Yeah.
[ Chuckles ]
She's sweet.
She's just protective, that's all.
Seriously.
Why are you starring at me like that?
I can't help it.
Why not?
Let's just say that I'm
having a really good time.
How good?
I'm not so good with words,
but maybe I can show you.
Give me your hand.
[ Heartbeats ]
It's racing.
That about explains it.
Wow.
Okay.
I am done for.
I hope you enjoy eating egusi?
Because it was made specially for you.
You are very beautiful.
Thank you sir.
You are even more beautiful than my wife.
Wow.
[ laughter ]
Wash it well.
But those nails...
Manoeuvre your way around...
She'll be fine mummy.
Just look at me.
- And roll it into balls.
- Like this.
Yes.
I'm sure she knows how to eat.
[ laughter ]
Right.
[ Cheering ]
Well done.
More.
Oh there's more?
Hey.
Hey.
It's about to be a movie out of this.
[ laughter ]
Right now, I feel like I
should say something smart
about the stars
the universe, the constellations.
Constellations.
Oh, constellations.
I'm sorry sir.
Constellations.
But, I don't know.
All I can think about is
how beautiful you are.
[ laughter ]
I'm serious.
It's a lie!
I'm serious.
It's a lie!
Listen, look over there.
Can you see that curve?
It's just like your lips.
What?
And you see that bright star over there.
That one?
Yeah that one.
It shines just like your eyes.
[ laughter ]
I'm serious.
Funny.
Oh my God.
I am serious. Come on.
Very funny.
Yes girl!
Happy thoughts like this and we will be
married in no time.
Although,
I don't think I should be
convincing myself at this point.
Sweetheart,
I'm so happy for you.
Thanks dad.
You are welcome.
That smells a lot like...
Boye!
Is he here?
Oh my God!
What?
Hey beautiful.
Oh no.
Oh no.
It is
funny how we have a picture in our minds
when we hear true love.
A woman
and her man.
It is the peak in interest
from the ending of your favourite book.
An unquenchable pleasure that comes
from an extra minute in bed.
An intense feeling you get
when you hear a new song.
A deep affection for a cause.
True love
is not restrictive,
or predetermined,
or forced.
True love
can be about
you.
[ Applause ]
Great Kemi.
Amazing as always.
We have a new comer.
Someone who just jumped
on our list, but no worries.
You are safe.
He goes by the name.
Boye.
[ Applause ]
What is he doing here?
Thank you.
Isn't that your ex?
Your boy is not focused.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had something planned, but
I am going to do this
from the top of my head.
And it is going to be called.
The Baptism.
Enjoy.
I am drawing a map
across your chest.
My fingers
run in circles
finding its way into your heart.
Your nipples harden in full bloom.
Hands
peel the sheets.
I taste the freedom in your lips.
An ocean spilling
from between those thighs.
Our bodies push and pull.
[ Sighs ]
Thrust.
Complete with a soft moan
in devotion
as we surrender in ecstasy.
[ Sighs ]
This was our baptism.
Thank you.
[ Applause ]
Did you guys catch that raunchy poem?
That was some xxx stuff going on there.
I mean, whichever girl he was talking about
better be running back to him.
[ Clears throat ]
I didn't think it was that raunchy.
It really wasn't.
Yes, it was.
Give me a second.
I think we are going to go.
Tomorrow will be an early
and busy day, you know?
Bye guys.
Love you babe.
Goodluck sister.
Bye.
Okay.
That was...
Dizzy?
Hey.
Hey.
I will catch up with you later Lanre.
No, I think I will stay.
It's good to see you.
Same.
My friend, Ian...
My boyfriend, Lanre.
Lanre, Boye.
Hey.
I just thought to say hi.
I moved back a few weeks ago. Permanently.
That's great.
I am happy for you.
Thank you.
Listen, I should let you go.
The same number, right?
Yes.
Alright, I will call you.
Please do.
Such a great night, right?
You know what I like
about these art events,
they are so expressive.
Thanks for driving me.
As opposed to what exactly?
Leaving you at the venue?
Wow!
Lanre, you don't have to talk to me
but there's really no
need to be disrespectful.
Disrespectful?
You speak of disrespect.
Life is funny.
You clearly have a lot on your mind,
why not go ahead and say it.
No Dizzy!
Nothing to say to you.
Okay.
Goodnight.
[ Car door opens ]
[ Car door shuts ]
Dee!
Wait.
You forgot your purse.
My purse, really?
Lanre, wait.
You are really going to
let your ego and insecurities
stop you from having a good night.
Hold on, my ego and insecurities?
What about your lack of self
control and sense of loyalty?
Your ex gets up on stage and reads a
sex poem about you,
the next thing I know is "Please, call me".
First of all, that's not what happened.
Besides I didn't know
he was going to be there.
Also,
I had no way of knowing
he was going to write a poem about me.
Which is also false,
because that poem was
definitely not about me.
He captured it quite well though.
He did?
So you do think the poem is about you.
Listen...
You dismissed me 'your friend',
to have a private
conversation with an ex who is
pretty much begging to be back with you.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to be disrespectful.
But you have to understand.
B and I have history.
We were together for a bit.
And we were serious.
And then he moved
away, he left you hanging.
So much for serious.
Well, he's back now.
Oh, wow.
Okay, that's...
Alright, cool.
Well done Oludara.
You know what,
I'll make this real simple for you.
I'm out.
[ Retreating footsteps ]
Your mum would be so proud of you.
Oh mum.
Up until this moment
I had tried really hard not to
think about you not being here.
But you really aren't.
I miss you so much.
You'd know what I should do.
Hey Olu D.
Hey mama.
I didn't know you were back.
I've been back.
Went outside and saw you and your husband
necking and pecking.
Disgusting.
You are not serious.
But seriously mum, how do you guys do it?
It's called marrying your best friend.
Substance over feelings.
Substance over feelings, right?
It's a solid foundation of the day.
You have to be with a man
who makes it easy for you to
choose him over and over.
Without one doubt in your mind,
knowing that he will
consistently choose you as well
flaws and all.
Ordinary valentine gift, I can't even get.
Why is my case so hard?
Don't worry,
It will come.
And when it comes.
You will have not one doubt in your mind.
My girls.
What's happening here?
Daddy!
[ Coughing ]
Mummy, sorry.
This is what they spoke about.
This is what the elders say.
That our younger ones
should not die before us.
Now it has happened.
[ Crying ]
We have a foundation right?
We must.
We are going to start
with the opening hymn,
which you can find on
opening hymn...
Opening hymn which you can find
in the program with you.
The bride has made a
request that the choir leads.
With backup from the violinist.
But I also have something
something very special.
I had to invite a special artiste.
A gospel artiste from Enugu.
To come here and render a special song.
And that is sister Angelina.
She's going to do a special song for us
while you listen.
Oh yes.
[ Singing off key ]
Father David,
if I didn't know any better, I'll say
you're trying to sabotage this wedding.
[ Singing off key ]
Father, I'm sure he'll be here soon.
How are you sir?
Well, I'm fine.
To God be the glory.
Yes, and...
To those of you who take
their marriages seriously,
shall we begin?
Okay.
Marriage is love.
Marriage is understanding.
Marriage is trust.
Marriage is believing
strongly in each other.
Being truthful to each other.
Do you understand me?
I don't want the type of marriage
where today you are in love.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
Sorry I am late.
and tomorrow you are saying otherwise.
I don't want that.
By the way,
just thirty-five minutes later than usual.
Well,
you know,
when the kids begin to come...
Actually father,
the topic of kids is
undecided right now.
We like each other...
Love.
We love each other.
Like.
Something like what exactly?
Like...
What?
Like fasting, you know?
Or paying tithe.
It's something I don't
think I'll ever understand...
Oludara.
Father.
If you ask me,
I'll say you are making a
hasty decision over this matter.
So why don't you take some few months.
Think about it well.
Before coming to a conclusion.
By the way, what date did you pick?
It's in four weeks father.
I don't think our program me would have...
You know we have a list of programmes
running through the week.
I doubt.
Father.
Lanre is the best person
when you get to know him.
How well do you know him?
Are you a hundred percent sure
that he wants this marriage like you do?
I know you want to have a happy family,
you want to raise a family
and have your children.
Which is very good.
But what if he becomes so stubborn that
he refuses to change his mind.
What are you going to do?
Can you honestly, without any doubts,
tell me that, that young man
is the person you want to
spend the rest of your life with?
Without any doubts?
[ Singing off key ]
Hallelujah!
[ Singing off key ]
Hallelujah!
Put your hands together for Angelina.
Love shouldn't be this complicated.
[ Sighs ]
It's like we didn't think
any of this through.
Go there and sit down.
Ready?
How did we let it get this far?
Ten Ten.
Are you here?
Are you sure this is the right address?
Oh my God!
Come on!
Madam, why are you screaming?
Let me call you back.
Lanre?
What's going on?
[ Screams ]
Wait wait.
I know we only just got back together.
But a month without you,
the thought of having lost you was
the most terrible I have ever had.
I don't want to feel like that ever again.
So,
will you make me the happiest man alive
-will you make me the happiest man alive.
-Yes!
By being my wife?
Yes!
Or at least this is what
I imagined he said.
Don't judge me please.
My dating history is an F9.
And finally, a guy I like, who
likes me is asking me to marry him.
Of course I said yes!
Sometimes I wish I allowed him
complete this romantic proposal.
If you mute the fireworks,
and you mute the music
and you mute the screaming.
A beautiful memory with
the most assuring words.
The last thread of hope I hold onto to
prove that this is not a mistake.
I know it's sudden
But I love you.
And if this is what it takes... Sure.
Wait... What?
Commitment has never
been a thing I believed in.
But with you, it's logical.
With you there's some sense to it.
Thank you for agreeing to
come on this journey with me.
[ Applause ]
What was that?
My vows?
More like an email man.
You should have added
"yours sincerely" at the end.
Kenneth, this is from
the bottom of my heart.
Plus it's logical.
At least, I showed up.
You know what? That should be the vow.
Marry me because I showed up.
It's time.
Okay.
I can do this.
I have my people with me.
Each one carefully selected.
Actually,
randomly selected.
Brother...
[ sighs ]
Let's plan your thing.
The train, the outfit.
So there's me.
I don't think your mother is
going to let you wear a tux.
Yeah...
Leave that to me.
Alright.
Okay, so...
Definitely Kenneth, I can't
do this without my boy.
Hi.
Fine boy Kenneth.
Please, don't do that.
Please, don't do that.
We've talked about this.
Sorry.
Who else?
Folarin.
Look at this.
This...
This would be nice.
Give me some time, I'm still thinking.
What is there to think about?
As your friend, I want the best for you.
But also as your friend, I don't
want you making a mistake.
So I need to think, is
this the right thing to do?
Should I be this supportive?
As your friend, I can't stand behind you.
It's entrapment.
Thanks.
You should smile more.
Moving on to another difficult decision.
Pick one.
Black or blacker.
Blacker.
Good choice.
See, you're learning.
Folarin is
he is not the wedding kind of guy.
So, who else?
Wow, I can't think of anyone else.
I have no friends.
Yeah, you don't have friends.
How about Uncle's son, Akpan?
Really?
Hey Lanre.
Are you?
Are you good?
Akpan.
OPO!
What's up?
I'm okay.
Look, I was thinking
as your old time friend.
I should be on your train.
Let me think about that.
[ Sighs ]
No.
My friend.
No.
Still no.
Come on Lanre, why
are you behaving like this?
I'm your father's
cousin's best-friend's son.
They were in form one together.
We can continue the legacy.
Yeah, but...
Open it.
I don't even understand...
You realise I can afford
my own tailors, right?
Talade Bespoke.
The best part is, this one is on me.
Think about it.
I mean, he's persuasive.
Oh, and...
Uncle P.
Uncle P?
Does Daddy know his
brother is on your train?
- Lanre.
- Uncle.
Yes.
Lanre.
Uncle.
Lanre, you are not doing well.
What have I done this time?
I am very disppointed in you.
Don't call me Uncle P.
You call me Uncle P
when you want to tease me.
You want to seat at the table of elders
but you are not acting like a man.
Hope you know I am here?
I got you.
You got me?
Prove it.
Proof of ownership!
Uncle P.
Very cold.
Don't you have the big bottle?
This is just 30cl.
Don't worry about that.
We have some kind of arrangement.
He has an arrangement.
Trust me.
Ridiculous!
My son!
You're looking so good.
Thank you.
Everything is almost ready,
but I hope you have everything.
Yeah, everyting is ready.
Oh good.
Yeah, everything but an exit.
The rings?
Good.
And your vows?
Everything is up here, ma.
- I think.
- Good.
Wow.
To think I never thought
I'll live to see this day.
And your sister, yours too will come.
Amen.
Good day, brothers and lady.
Well done.
Today is a glorious day and...
Wow, too much swag.
But unfortunately, you can't
enter the church with this swag.
Because this is the house of the Lord,
and you need to be humble.
Take.
Comb your hair.
Can I see your finger nails too?
Wow!
They are dangerous.
Go and cut them.
Please remove your glasses.
Better.
The groom and best man, to the alter.
The parents will be at the front row
while the train will stay
at the entrance here.
[ Pohne ringing ]
[ Phone ringing ]
Can you stop that rubbish please?
The women are coming
now, so listen attentively.
They are not your wives,
Just hold their hands,
walk down to the aisle
and when you get there you leave them.
Don't get distracted.
Is that understood?
[ Singing ]
Stop!
Just stop.
I will dance on one condition.
If you can sing and play Shina Peters.
[ Singing ]
Father.
Father.
The wedding is starting soon, sir.
This is Father.
[ Singing ]
Father, give us something.
Gather for some photographs.
Will you get out of here!
Maintain your lane.
Good turn up.
Yeah.
Come on, this reception isn't bad!
Calm down. We are in church.
No turning back now.
[ Sighs ]
I guess I'm doing this one alone right?
I am missing my main man today!
Bro.
Don't worry man, I'm
with you in spirit always.
Always.
Do it for your boy.
I got you.
Sad day man.
Layla!
She never backs down.
And in that dress...
[ knocking ]
Who's there?
Layla.
What are you doing here?
Please, let me in.
It's an emergency.
[ Knocking ]
What happened?
Who died?
I did.
The moment you said it was over between us.
Layla, listen, you have to leave.
Oludara is not going to take this...
Oludara what?
What do you even see in her?
We are friends.
We like the same things.
We get each other.
You are friends.
You like the same things.
You get each other.
So, now you want to settle down?
No, I mean...
Yeah...
You know what, it's none of your business.
Lanre.
I know you.
You want to have fun.
You don't want strings.
You don't want committment.
I have what you are looking for.
Call me.
It's strange that she's here, right?
Have you guys seen
yourselves since the breakup?
No.
Seen her? Not at all.
I definitely saw all of her.
Guy, stay focused.
No.
Ready?
Yeah.
Let's do this.
Kenneth, one second.
Oh, and he finally shows up.
Hold on.
Hold me.
Hold me.
That's okay.
Kenneth.
Yes sir?
You go and join the train.
See you on the other side.
You're late.
Yes.
I was only dancing outside.
Dancing. You know...
Dancing?
It's always something.
Guy, I am tired.
What is this life?
If it's not work, it's relationship.
It's this, it's that.
I am tired!
I'm happy that you're tired.
I'm tired of you whining.
Look at that girl's skirt.
Isn't that your dad?
He doesn't even try to hide it anymore.
I love your dad man.
I'm proud of you son.
Thank you sir.
You see, I never thought
you'll ever settle down.
But you outdid yourself.
I don't understand what you mean sir.
What is he talking about?
Father.
You can now go back to your seat.
Yes sir.
This Father scares me.
Maybe I guess we should wait for Oludara.
She's not coming.
It's you and I.
Why do you want to marry Oludara?
And what is the foundation
of a great marriage?
Do you know?
Can you honestly say...
A strong marriage, well...
And do you think you
are ready for that big leap?
Yeah...
And what's your walk with God like?
Can you honestly say
without any doubt that
you're a man after God's heart?
Yes, of course.
Yeah, I mean...
You see?
Just like I thought.
Okay.
That is one gorgeous looking bride.
So why do I want to run out right now?
Lanre, you are overthinking this.
Just
breathe.
[ Chatter ]
Focus Lanre, focus.
Okay.
Yeah.
Two words?
Excuse me.
First word?
Rocking...
Parties!
Time! Time my friend.
What was it?
That's a baby carrier.
It was pretty much on the nose.
[ Chatter ]
Lanre wouldn't have gotten it.
He doesn't like kids.
That's a guy who knows his friend.
What?
With everything going
on in this world right now?
I just don't think it's fair to
bring a child into this world.
Plus, most marriages aren't happy anyway.
I mean, look at my parents.
Perfect example.
Why would you do that to an innocent child?
Babe, I don't think just because
your parents are unhappy...
Food is ready.
I'm sorry sir.
Dinner.
Come.
I'm still not ready for kids.
Oh my God, what am I doing?
[ Phone ringing ]
Hello.
She can read my mind.
She knows what I'm thinking!
She's not smiling.
What do I do? Think Lanre think!
What are you doing?
Boye is here?
Oh wow!
Goal!
Everybody has history.
What do you mean they have history?
Everybody has history.
This man has all the history in the world.
I also have history.
It doesn't mean you
have to go around flirting.
That's what I'm saying.
Are you sure this wasn't in your head?
She said please call me.
It's very obvious.
Your girl wants him to save her from you.
It's obvious, you have no game.
You should have heard the poem.
It was basically porn.
And he had this cheeky smile
like he's Banky W or something.
Do you know what is killing me?
I've never seen him this
pissed off about a breakup.
It's not a breakup.
We are just thinking things through.
Will you keep quiet.
Look, shut up.
Learn from the master.
Women chase we men,
when you take care...
Folarin.
Excuse me,
I'll be right back.
Folarin.
I need to start the chasing process.
Hello Love.
Bro.
For the first time in my
life, I don't know what to do,
It's obvious that this Boye
guy has more swag than you.
Come on, step your game up.
The kind of step up she wants is serious.
She's already asked me the
"what are we doing?" question twice.
Guys!
This is the love of my life, Angel.
That's not my name.
Alright, just grab a drink.
I will be with you in a few minutes.
Alright.
Alright love.
Bye.
As I was saying,
learn from the master.
The thing about women is this.
When a woman wants to get married,
she's on a mission.
Alright?
You're either in or you're out.
There's no middle ground.
You can't stall.
If she wants you to step
up, she wants a proposal.
And it's obvious that your
babe wants to marry you.
The question is, do you want to marry her?
We are going to open
with the opening...
Please, go and sit down there.
We are going to start
with the opening hymn.
I guess it's obvious whose advice I took.
The program me you have in your hands.
The bride...
The bride made a special request.
She wants...
Wow.
You are in trouble.
[ Singing ]
Bro!
Is this your solution?
A proposal.
Listen, I have this all figured out.
I propose, I secure the girl I love.
We have a long engagement,
we get used to each other.
We spend some time with each other.
We get used to the idea of marriage and
commitment and everything
and if that doesn't work out,
that's the end of the engagement.
Simple.
It seems you don't understand women.
Didn't you listen to a word Folarin said?
Once you propose, the
next thing is wedding.
Come on.
A fake proposal to keep a girl?
Wow, I thought you were a tough guy.
I take of fence, I'm a tough guy.
Plus, this is not a fake proposal.
What do you mean it's not a fake proposal?
What are you wearing?
Listen.
Go and tell her the truth.
Tell her that...
Listen to me.
Tell her that what you have to offer
is a simple relationship.
And if she wants more...
Do the right thing and let her go.
You are right.
I'm what?
You're right.
Of course I'm right. Let me see your ring.
[ laughs ]
Wow!
What if you really
wanted to marry this girl?
Take.
Guys...
I worked all night on this
and finally came up with a...
What's going on?
The proposal is off.
Lanre?
This was my only job.
Please.
Lanre.
What's going on?
[ Screams ]
Think about it.
What was I supposed to say?
'Actually, this was for
you but I changed my mind'
With a ring and everything in my pocket?
So I did it.
However stupid.
Yes, a million times.
Well done Lanre.
Real stupid.
Who gives this woman away to wed?
I do.
Embrace your only chance Lanre, take it.
Oh Mum!
[ Sighs ]
Hey mum.
I'm going to head home now.
I thought you had gone.
What's wrong?
What has he done now?
I don't know why you keep
letting him do this to you.
When you finally decide to get married,
Make sure
it is for love.
When you open your heart to let her in,
make sure there's only room for one.
For today, we are gathered.
For today, we are gathered
to witness the wedding ceremony between.
Oludara Feyikemi Tandore.
And Olanrewaju Olufemi Shittu.
Today they have decided to come together
in holy matrimony.
Marriage
is supposed to be divine.
It has to be divine
because it comes from God.
Before I go any further,
I am required to ask if
there is anyone present
who knows why this
marriage cannot continue,
let the person say it now.
[ Clears throat ]
Okay.
I think we have to proceed.
I object.
Thank you Jesus.
Oh shit!
I can't believe I said that out loud.
Wait, she objects?
You object?
What's going on here?
I have no idea.
I bet he cheated,
that's the only thing that makes sense.
Now this is a wedding.
Can I ask you why?
Even though I don't blame you.
Lanre this doesn't feel right.
D, same here.
Wait, what?
I just didn't want to tell you because
I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
- Wait...
- Can you speak up
so that your friends and
relations can hear you.
You should have said something.
This is such an expensive aha moment.
Do you know how expensive this wedding is?
Forget that!
This is about what you want.
What we want.
I have said it.
Couples who know
themselves well get separated
talk less of the ones who don't.
I knew this would happen.
Marriage to me has
always been about
ticking a box.
Checking that box, the
ticking biological clock.
Everyone else getting boo'd up
and you don't want to be single anymore
type focus.
But I think marriage
should be more than that.
I think it is more than that.
Oludara, I feel the same way.
I love you.
Always have, always will.
It's too much to do this uncertain.
You deserve "sure".
You deserve "ready".
You deserve tears rolling down the face and
snot coming from the nose type of certainty.
I want to spend time knowing you.
I want to spend time knowing you.
I want to love you outside
the confines of pressure.
D.
I want to share my fears with you.
I want to fight with you.
I want us to be able to make up.
In the holy way of course.
I want the same thing too.
I don't want to get married
simply because I'm tired of being single.
I want marriage, yes,
but I want a life partner.
I want to be that for you
and more than anyone else.
I'm just...
I'm too afraid to lose you.
And
we can't do it like this.
I know.
We have to do it the right way.
And who knows,
we might not end up here again.
That will also be fine.
So,
what have you decided?
Wait, are you kidding?
So what happened?
The couple agreed to
go for traditional vows.
Before we proceed,
Lanre will like to share
something special he wrote.
No!
No, let him go, it's good, trust me.
Hello Aunty Layo, where are you?
You are tying your head
gear, they are almost done.
A wise woman once said
that when I marry, I should do it for love.
That when I say my vows, I
should only speak the truth.
And when I open my heart to let someone in
I should make sure
there's only room for her.
Oludara, you are the one
I've never been so sure
of anything in my life.
Looking at you right now...
Go girl!
Looking at you right now,
there's no one I'll rather
go on this journey with.
I love how you make me feel.
I love who I am around you.
I love everything you stand for.
I get scared.
I get worried, I get nervous.
But I'll rather be worried and
scared and nervous with you
than without you.
Be my wife.
Yes.
Have my babies.
[ Cheering ]
Because before God and
man and anyone here tonight,
I'll have it no other way.
Enough of the vows.
Now pick your ring.
I now pronounce you, man and wife.
[ Cheering ]
Kiss your bride.
I present to you Mr and Mrs Shittu.
I hit the freaking jackpot!
Like I said before, the best love story
you have ever heard.
Yes!
Say cheese!
