Thengomor was about 350 people and the reception was 550.
How long did it take to plan your wedding?
It took me four months to plan everything with the help of my family, friends, and njekeys Bassi and Muna Sidibeh.
Your parents also played a significant role. Tell us about them and why was the wedding so, so special to them?
My parents are Alhagie Lamin Saidy and Ajie Ndey Kumba Cham. They helped tremendously with everything. My mother bought me all my outfits for the wedding, so all I had to do was get dresses and look cute. I'm their oldest daughter so they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy.
Any honeymoon planned?
Not at the moment, but maybe this fall. With all the wedding planning I need a big long vacation.
What would you advise girls, who are still searching for Mr. Right?
I'll say don't search for him just let nature takes its course. Don't consume yourself looking for Mr. Perfect in the superficial or material things because at the end of the day Mr. Right might be right in front of your eyes and you not even notice him.
