In her reaction, the bride said she resisted telling people her plans to wear Ankara for her wedding.

She said:

I didn’t bother to tell anyone about it. It wasn’t even up for debate. I just told my friends not to wear Ankara. I’m sure if I had mentioned it to people, they truly would have tried to discourage me because human preferences are different.

There’s actually nothing bold about this…this is how an African wedding should actually look like ❤️❤️❤️ congrats ?

I thought it’s called white wedding because she wears white gown, or because it was introduced by the white, I don’t get where the white came in this wedding.

The groom should have worn those Adekunle Gold’s Ankara suit to complement it.
