The wedding was said to have been on the card since 2010, when Stephanie's
adorable hunk was said to have proposed to her. But the main deal finally
happened at the weekend- April 21, 2012 in far away, Paris, France.
Undoubtedly, the choice of Paris, known to all to be the most romantic of
capitals had many reasons, firstly it would reduce the attendant uninvited
media scrutiny to the barest minimum, secondly, it would stand-out the wedding
as one of the weddings of the year: how many weddings in Nollywood as been done
on this scale and outside the country for that matter. Now any of the prominent
stars, who are still unmarried would now have to work harder and do more to top
this wedding.
The delightsome duo chose to do their wedding at a castle- called ‘the abbey’,
which is like 45 minutes away from PARIS, in front of just a few hundreds of
friends, family members and witnesses.
According to our source, the invited were not more than 200; there were many
of the bride's colleagues from Nollywood- Genevieve Nnaji, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Susan
Peters, Monalisa Chinda, Evang.Liz Benson, Paul Obazele, Greg & Debbie
Odutayo, Lilian Bach, Emem Isong Ini Edo and many others. Some of the other guests were the likes of the
S.A to the President on Niger Delta- Kingsley Kuku, Prince Tonye Princewill and
wife, the Honourable Minister for Aviation- Mrs. Stella Oduah Ogiemwonyi, the chairman of Osmoserve-Scott Tommey, Col. Mohammed Umar, Dame Toru Ofili, Group MD of UBA- Phillip Oduoza and many others.
Top TV Anchor- Frank Edoho of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was the MC at
the wedding reception, and another MC had done the job inside the church. Mind
you, the church and reception venue were in the same compound, as the castle
was a massive place. It was a very romantic French wedding from what we heard,
with the violin having prominence, and the couple and guests sang a few wedding
hymns. Heard the bride’s dress was outstandingly gorgeous, while her beau
looked every inch a hunk in his well fitted tuxedo. We heard the whole procession and proceedings
brought tears of joy to every eye. After the exchange of marital vows, the
couple and their guests moved on to another session of merrymaking at the reception,
there was the cutting of the wedding cake, the newly married couple now had
their first official dance together. It was after all the merrymaking that the
couple went away for some time to prepare for the mother of all after party,
still yet at the same castle.
The couple later came back at around 11PM, back to the same spot where the
reception had held before, this time, the gorgeously beautiful bride wore
another glorious outfit, which wowed all that came, she was led in by her very
handsome husband and the fun began in earnest.
So after the merriment, which was more of dance, dance, and more dance, the
guests were led out to view an unbelievable display of fireworks, we heard the
glorious fireworks display was in many stages and at the end of it all everyone
was totally mesmerized. For a party that began at about 11pm, we heard the unbridled
fun was on till after 3.30 AM of the next morning. According to one of the
guests, who was a part of the whole event, it was fantastic wedding, which
would be unrivalled for a longtime to come. Many of the guests who flew in from
Nigeria were flown in on a chartered Arik Flight by the couple and we can bet
that many were also provided free accommodation, so good money must have been
spent to make the occasion one to remember.
We at MM wish the couple, the best of marital bliss; we are eagerly
expecting the sextuplet that would bless the marriage the more, Insha Allah.

Well it took you long anough.you really should ease up with the lonnnng intro aloba. She looks pretty loved the dress fabulous!
LOL @ the first sentence from the first comment.
She looked divine.
I'll pass on this comment; "Idahosa has always being known to always dress very well."
Maybe Steph should have chosen his suit for him.
Aloba, at last!
Steph looks natural and very happy. Love her dress and bouquet. Groom should have worn a conventional dark suit.
Here's another classy Nollywood wedding after Dakore's.
Omotola wasn't there... Never seen her attend weddings!
Fabulous!
Fabulous!
Mama Borngirl you use classy way too much for these people! Dakore's wedding was fab but won't use classy for it. She carried a handbag right with her wedding dress? Classy people don't do that.
Congrats to them and Steph looked beautiful and not caked up.
Maybe Omotola isn't their friend and she wasn't invited.
@last anon, Mama Borngirl is easily impressed or let me say she's too nice!
I also noticed Dakore carried a bag with wedding dress. Class noni!
Steph's wedding was better than the usual nollywood wedding.
Omotola doesn't keep friends, she once said that.
Thanks Gossip Police oh.
