"I had absolutely no idea that Chudi was planning to pop the big question. I mean the day started off amazing; with a massage, shopping and then all the little things we usually love to do together. While I was picking outfits and getting ready for a romantic dinner, little did I know that Chudi was getting ready to ask me the question of a lifetime!" - Oge

We got traditionally married on December 28th 2019!
The traditional wedding or "Igba Nkwu" is a very important ceremony unique to the Igbo tribe of Nigeria. We are both Igbo (a large tribe in South East Nigeria) and so it was very important that we participated fully in the various rites. The Igba Nkwu signifies the union of two families. Traditionally, the family of the bride hosts the event and so our Igba Nkwu took place at Oge's family residence in Okija, Anambra State.
