#AChocolateLoveStory
It’s been a week-long wedding ceremony — from the civil and traditional wedding to the bridal shower, and the conventional white wedding, which took place on Saturday (May 28) in Lagos.
Civil Wedding
A few days prior to the traditional ceremony, the couple married in a civil ceremony in Lagos, in which they shared the photos on social media looking picture-perfect in a crisp white two-piece and a pink suit. This outfit was a perfectly chic and modern take on a civil wedding outfit. Ini went with structure, lines, shapes and simplicity. It was a clean white two-piece. The structured shirt, trousers, and the net veil are an inspiration for every modern bride.
Traditional Wedding :
The happy couple married traditionally on Saturday, May 21, at which the bride wore her native Edo traditional attire in a figure-hugging velvet masterpiece created by TUBO. According to the designer, the handmade embellished creation took three months and a half to hand bead. As tradition demands, Okojie further adorned her look with just the right amount of accessories like a true Edo bride.
The groom, who’s from the Coss River also paid a tribute to his tradition, wearing a hat, and chieftaincy shirt layered under a jacket, with a wrapper to represent the Calabar people of Nigeria.
Traditional weddings are times for elaborate displays of African culture and Ini brought the heat. She was a complete Efik bride, with combs in her hair and staff.
Her third outfit was a soft and simple chocolate gown.
This was her After Party look.
Bridal Shower:
She was cute and bubbly in a white mini skirt with a bow, perfect for a night-out-in-the-town type bridal shower.
It was a Moroccan-themed bridal shower.White Wedding:
She opted for a custom surreal design with an effortless off-the-shoulder style by Mazelle Bridal, while the groom wore the classic black tuxedo by Atafo.
