On January 15, 2014, Toke Makinwa had a top secret surprise wedding with her long-time beau Maje Ayida. The ‘world’ was surprised when she came out days later to announce that she was married, especially because she had announced her separation a week earlier.

The OAP and socialite apologised to friends and family about the impromptu wedding, explaining that she was left out of the loop just like everybody else and only told about the surprise wedding on the d-day.


‘Plus, it was such a huge surprise, I had no clue. I hate surprises but I must say, this one knocked me out of my elements because I usually suspect something is happening,‘ Toke wrote on her blog days after the wedding.

Her wedding gown designer, however, has now outed Toke.

While discussing Toke’s wedding gown on Moments with Mo’ talk show, fashion designer and owner of fashion brand April by Kunbi, Olakunbi Oyelese, says Toke contacted her THREE days before the wedding and requested for a wedding dress.

Kunbi explained that Toke informed her that she was working on a short deadline. So, maybe Maje Ayida isn’t that spontaneous after all.
