    When Afrobeats meets high fashion, the result is nothing short of spectacular. That’s exactly what fans witnessed as Nigerian music superstar Mr Eazi and actress-fashionista Temi Otedola tied the knot in not one, but three jaw-dropping celebrations across Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.

    The couple, who have been together for eight years, didn’t just plan a wedding — they curated a global love story. Starting in Monaco on May 9, the pair honoured a deeply personal date: the birthday of Eazi’s late mother. Their private court wedding saw Temi in a whimsical Wiederhoeft corset-and-skirt ensemble embroidered with delicate florals, while Eazi opted for a sleek grey Louis Vuitton suit.

    Later that day, they switched gears into glamorous eveningwear — Temi in a bold black-and-white polka-dot Christopher John Rogers dress and Eazi in a sharp black suit, effortlessly embodying “couple goals.”Source: Temi Otedola on Instagram

    Their second ceremony, held on July 5 in Dubai, was a traditional Nigerian affair hosted at the Otedola family home. Guests described it as a day of “pure joy and thanksgiving.” Temi stunned in multiple custom-made outfits, including an unforgettable bow-detailed gown, while also paying tribute to her husband’s late mother with an attire inspired by Nigerian heritage.

    The third and final chapter unfolded in Iceland, where the couple exchanged vows in a cinematic ceremony that caught the eye of Vogue’s September issue. Temi channelled Audrey Hepburn in a Fendi Haute Couture gown, while Mr Eazi embodied timeless sophistication in a Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo. Her understated Instagram caption — “Mr and Mrs Ajibade” — summed it all up.

    Social Media Buzz and Global Spotlight

    From Instagram carousels to TikTok edits, fans couldn’t get enough of the opulence. Temi’s posts drew millions of likes, with many Nigerians dubbing it the “royal wedding of Afrobeats.” On X , one user wrote: “Three countries, three weddings, one love story. This is history in the making.”

    The wedding also highlighted the growing cultural crossover between Afrobeats and global fashion. Featuring in Vogue placed the celebration firmly on the international stage, underlining how African stars are redefining luxury weddings worldwide.

    Why This Wedding Matters

    Beyond the glamour, this was also a deeply symbolic union of music, fashion, and heritage. It reflected how today’s African creatives are not only influencing culture locally but also reshaping global conversations about love, luxury, and representation.

    For many, Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola’s wedding wasn’t just about vows — it was about vision. A vision that showed African love stories can be celebrated on the grandest scale, with the world watching in admiration.

    Most people who enter reality competitions naturally want to be winners (whether the prize is love, money or both) but sometimes winning the way we thought we wanted is far from the only way to win.

    The Bachelor SA runner-up, Bridget Marshall found her own Prince Charming after the show, and she said ‘I do’ recently!

    Marshall was the runner-up and never got the final rose in the season finale with Marc Buckner. The season 2 runner-up had her fairy tale dreams shattered when she lost to Marisia van Wyk back in 2020 when the season was televised but little did she know that this was a blessing in disguise.

    She later went on to meet Kobus de Kock, a former Rugby player who would become her now husband. The wedding announcement came out of the blue but fans were truly happy that she got her happily ever after. The two wed in August and Bridget stunned her guests in two breathtaking gowns.

    In a recent Instagram post she shared that: 

    “The way I felt when my Bridal look came together – PRICELESS. My dream of what I wanted from when I was a little girl came to life.”

    Her gorgeous gowns came from The Wedding Boutique and they couldn’t have done better at bringing out the natural beauty she already has. The couple wed in the picturesque valleys of Stellenbosch at a gorgeous wine estate. Friends, loved ones and fans on socials could not get enough of the images shared on Marshall’s Instagram.

    SA’s Bachelorette Qiniso Van Damme said “LOVE YOUR DRESS!!!!!” and yes, she included 5 exclamation marks which only emphasises that this bride looked like an absolute princess.

    We wish the couple all the best on their future together and many more fairy tale moments to come!
