Saturday, June 25th, 2022 will be a historic day for the families of Fidelis (Adizue) and Mrs Ann Muo and Chief John (Snr) and Mrs Fumilayo Adollo as their children, Augusta Ifeoma and John Jemin Jnr consummate their love at the Cathedral of Christ, Marina, Lagos.
The groom, an indigene of Jakpa, Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State, is a US-based Engineer while the bride who hails from Nnokwa, Idemili South of Anambra State, owns one of the latest boutiques in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
The rites of joining Ifeoma and John as husband and wife began last week with a lavish but multi-cultural traditional wedding that witnessed a rich and enchanting blend of Igbo, Itsekiri and Yoruba cultures.
This is expected as the groom is Itsekiri with a Yoruba mother while the bride is Igbo from Anambra State.
The traditional wedding had in attendance Captains of Industry, politicians, professionals etc.
The galaxy of guests from virtually all parts of Nigeria gave the traditional wedding the colour of a pan-Nigerian event.
All Nigerian dishes which were served further added glamour to the wedding.
Colourful Itsekiri dance troupe ushered the groom amidst cheers.
The groom’s mother, a Yoruba, added rich Yoruba panache to the event with breath-taking Yoruba eulogy and dance steps.
Guests at the traditional wedding included a former Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District and current MD/CEO of the Federal Housing Authority, Sen. Gbenga Ashafa among other notables.
Friends and associates of both families assure that the classy traditional wedding foretells what to expect on June 25, the day of the church wedding during a reception at The Bell Campbell Event Centre, 63 Campbell Street, Lagos.
