Love is in the air!
Valentine’s Day is celebrated in different styles all over the world, but 14th February 2016, witnessed a unique Valentine Dinner in the Coal City of Enugu. Designed for exclusive couples, and tagged Sweet 16, the organizers, JetSet Events, in association with Aaron’s Place, used the occasion to introduce a touch of class to this uncommon event.
Even Cupid would be proud of the ambience at Aaron’s Place, as Katchie of White Magic, decked out the atmosphere in glorious Valentine colours, with a matching Red Carpet, anchored by the beautiful Miss Betty. Activities opened by 5:30 pm as guests began to arrive, resplendent in the day’s dress code, which simply said: A TOUCH OF RED.
As the guests settled down for the main event, Dr Igwebuike V. Onyiaorah, a Consultant Pathologist, of the Directorate of International Collaboration and Linkages: Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, stepped up to deliver the first presentation. He had chosen a theme in sync with the prevailing circumstances of the day – Intimate Partner Violence: The Role of Economic Crisis. This was followed by a second presentation by none other than the iconic Rev Msgr Prof Obiorah Ike, of CIDJAP, Enugu. The Monsignor traced the history of Valentine Day, from the time of St Valentine in the ancient Roman Empire to the present day. The respective medical and spiritual counsels from these two professionals made all the difference to this unique gathering.
The seminar speeches were naturally interlaced with spectacular performances by the Young African Stars, led by Ambassador George Urunwoke, which left the guests asking for more! But it was time for the main course, after all it was still a dinner party, and since the kitchen at Aaron’s Place was ready, the guests were treated to a sumptuous dinner from the assorted menu. Moreover, Coca Cola, Nigerian Breweries and Juhel Nigeria were available with their distinctive arrays of drinks, and Westlog Nigeria also introduced a new member of their line of products – the Rowlands Rosé Spritzer wine.
Entertainment was powered by MC Daddy Saint, featuring MC Attraction, with some amazing upcoming artistes, including VanPee, Silver, and De Two Brothers, just as the guests took to the dance floor. Interludes of comedy were much in excess; and prizes were awarded to the longest married couple, the best dressed couple, and the best dance couple.
The presence of Waterock Global, JetSet Interiors and Mekkan Technologies also contributed in no small way, towards making the evening a most memorable event. The Coal City is already looking forward to the next Valentine Day!
