It’s
confirmed. Tuface and his long time lover, Annie Macaulay, are
exchanging their marriage vows today at the prestigious Jumeirah Beach
Hotel, a five star resort centre in Dubai.
According to the information made
available on the singer’s website, 2faceonline.com, guests will witness a
24-hour wedding activities between 1am on Saturday and 12am UAE time on
Sunday.
However, only about 250 guests made up of
family, friends and business associates will witness the wedding, which
preparation is said to have gulped millions of naira.
Tuface, Annie and their daughter Isabella
left Nigeria via Emirates Airline on Monday alongside his brother,
Hyacinth, their father and Tuface’s personal assistant.
The wedding planner got into Dubai on Tuesday morning to set things in motion.
Saturday Beats gathered that
Emirates is the ‘official airline’ for the wedding as it conveyed most
of the guests to Dubai. The singer has the support of his millionaire
friend, Ayiri Emami, and Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio.
A source close to the couple said that
Tuface sent a letter of invitation to the governor of his home state,
Benue, Chief Gabriel Suswam. The source, however, said he was not privy
to the nature of support the African Queen crooner received from his state governor.
Interestingly, Nigerian-born UK designer,
Yemi Osunkoya aka Yemi Kosibah, has come out to deny having anything to
do with Annie’s dress.
Reports (not Saturday PUNCH) had said the couple paid Kosibah £7,000 for Annie’s wedding dress. But the designer took to Twitter to rebut the claim.
“Thank goodness for Google Alerts. Just
seen some false information about me/Kosibah that could have damaged my
brand. Please get your facts right. I have not made Annie’s dress,” he
tweeted.
Annie also debunked the €7,000 Kosibah wedding gown tale on Twitter.
She noted that she did not tell anyone that her wedding dress was made
by Kosibah. She tweeted, “KOSIBAH did NOT make my wedding dress! Would
appreciate it if bloggers and the press get their facts right before
publishing anything! A very talented young lady did!”
It was also reported that Tuface’s
groom’s men would be his close pals, Larry Gaga, Faze, Sound Sultan,
Hyacinth Idibia, D’banj and Tony Tetuila.
When contacted on Wednesday night, Tetuila confirmed that he would be at the wedding. He, however, told Saturday Beats
that he was not sure if he would be leaving for Dubai on Thursday or
Friday. When the singer was asked if he is part of the groomsmen, he
replied, “That’s what he (Tuface) said. I cannot make myself a
groomsman.”
