Kenya, April 20 -- The white wedding of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, and Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, tagged #JP2025, captivated Lagos on April 19, 2025, with a blend of elegance, celebrity flair, and emotional moments.
Held at a stunning seaside venue, the event drew a select group of Nigeria's entertainment elite, marking the second leg of the couple's lavish wedding festivities following their traditional ceremony on April 17.
Unlike the star-packed traditional wedding, which saw high-profile figures like Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Chief Ebenezer Obey, and celebrities such as Mercy Aigbe, Toyin Abraham, and Odunlade Adekola, the white wedding was more intimate.
Notable attendees included Nollywood heavyweights Rita Dominic, Ini Edo, Osas Ighodaro, Mercy Aigbe, Toyin Abraham, and Lilian Afegbai.
Diamond who was Jux's best man wowed Nigerians after being told to have a number and marry the bride's lady.
The ladies turned heads in soft, elegant hues of beige, champagne, blush pink, and dusty rose, complemented by chic fascinators, a shift from the bold green and pink looks of the traditional event.
Priscilla dazzled in a custom Veekee James gown, featuring intricate lace, sequins, and a high neckline with a mermaid silhouette, evoking royal bridal elegance.
Juma complemented her in a sharp white tuxedo with black accents, tailored by Mai Atafo. The couple's grand entrance through a 15-foot wedding cake, crafted by Final Touch Cakes, was a showstopper.
The cake, which took three months to create, featured sparklers and required the couple to climb a ladder to cut it, leaving guests in awe.
Emotional moments included Priscilla being walked down the aisle by her father, with Juma visibly moved as his bride approached.
A viral video captured the couple's tender exchange, with Juma admiring Priscilla in her gown before sharing a kiss, sparking cheers from attendees.
The seaside venue, adorned with palm trees and a white flower-lined walkway, set a romantic tone.
Videos of the setup, shared by event bloggers, showed artisans arranging tents and posters of the couple, creating a picturesque garden with a sea view.
The ceremony featured heartfelt vows, with guests dressed in glamorous outfits applauding the couple's commitment. Social media buzzed with reactions, with fans praising the event's grandeur, some jokingly noting it outshone other celebrity weddings.
The couple's journey, which began with an intimate Tanzanian wedding introduction in February and a civil ceremony, culminated in this Lagos spectacle.
Juma's musical tribute, God Design, featuring Phyno and a prayer by Iyabo Ojo, added a personal touch, released as part of his EP A Day to Remember.
Online, fans gushed over the couple's chemistry and the event's opulence. "This is what dreams are made of. God bless their union," wrote one Instagram user.
Another commented, "Davido's wedding dey learn!" referencing the scale of the celebration. The #JP2025 hashtag trended across platforms, cementing the wedding as a cultural moment.
As Priscilla and Juma, now officially Mr. and Mrs. Mkambala, embark on their new chapter, their white wedding remains a testament to love, style, and the power of cross-cultural unity.
