Olubeko chimed in, giving hints about the entertainment for their wedding reception. He enthusiastically mentioned the DJ, noting, “That’s going to be insane,” before highlighting a specific song, “Swag Surfin’,” which promises to add a lively touch to their celebration. In a further glimpse into the couple’s musical preferences, Lawson expressed her desire for the song “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” by HYPATON and Raye to accompany her entrance.
Emphasising their personal touch, Lawson described the overall vibe of the wedding, saying it will “very much scream Charity and Dotun.” She explained that while there will certainly be elements of glamour, the focus will remain on intentional and meaningful details that reflect their relationship. The couple’s approach demonstrates their understanding of what matters most—creating an intimate atmosphere.
In discussing the logistics of wedding planning, Olubeko remarked on Lawson’s flair for design, stating, “True. I know that she’s very good with interior designing. It’s fun to see it come to life.” This collaboration appears to be a source of joy for both, as Lawson also praised Olubeko’s ability to handle stress, making him a crucial support during their planning journey. “I can come to him for help, and he’s just like, ‘I’ll take care of it,’” she shared.
Looking back, Lawson previously expressed that they weren’t in a rushed timeframe, as recent months had already been filled with logistics and planning. She stated, “We’re just taking it day by day. We want it to be super meaningful, and I think that’s really important, especially with how we met.” This thoughtful attitude underlines their commitment to ensuring their wedding day highlights their unique love story.
As they chart a path towards their wedding weekend, Lawson has hinted at an exciting approach to her wardrobe. In a January conversation, she revealed that she plans to change outfits at least three times during the festivities. Lawson is envisioning a blend of styles: a “timeless and traditional” look for the ceremony, followed by a “very romantic, flirty, festive and high-glam” ensemble for the reception.
Moreover, the couple intends to celebrate Olubeko’s heritage in a touching way. Lawson teased that they will don traditional attire for their official couple announcement, with outfits that will showcase their Nigerian roots. This cultural homage speaks to their respect for each other’s backgrounds and illustrates how they plan to weave personal elements into their celebrations.
