Surprise as couple exchange marital vows at MMA2
Airport users were on Saturday astonished as a couple, Olamide Alli and Abiodun Agboola, took their wedding vows at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal II (MMA2).
The terminal is operated by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Ltd.
The barricaded section of the departure area, for the wedding, accommodated only about 50 guests.
The Chief Operating Officer, BASL, Kola Bamigboye, said that the wedding, which was first of its kind at the airport, was to tell the world that MMA2 was more than a terminal.
He hoped that with the successful wedding, more people would like to hold their weddings at airports.
“We like to bring people together. Its either you are travelling through our terminal or you are coming here to solidify your love,” he said.
The Head of Aviation Security for BASL, Monica Oguta, said that the wedding was an opportunity to create value for airport terminals.
Asked if the couple were airport workers, Mrs Oguta said, “They are just Nigerians who felt the idea was good. I started nursing the idea of an airport wedding some years back and when the opportunity came, we seized it.”
The couple exchanged their wedding vows and rings at the terminal.
The wedding was officiated by a voc coordinator, Oluwabukunmi Aminu.
A passenger, Abigail Babatunde, said she had never witnessed such a wedding before.
The couple were given free flight tickets by Value Jet Airline.
