1. Chivido2024 transforms into ChividoMiami
Afrobeats star Davido and his longtime partner Chioma returned in 2025 with a luxurious white wedding in Miami, USA, on August 9.
The event, with opulent decor and attended by top-tier guests, made waves online for days, making it one of the most high-profile weddings of the year. The wedding, which reportedly cost over $3.7 million, made it to international magazine, Vogue.
Recall that the duo first got engaged in 2019. The couple suffered a major personal tragedy when their first son, Ifeanyi, passed away in 2022.
In March 2023, Davido revealed that he and Chioma were legally married. They later welcomed a set of twins in the US in October 2023. Their traditional wedding took place in Lagos in 2024.
2. Mr. Eazi and Temi Otedola's intercontinental weddings
This year Nigerians saw what an 'old money' wedding looks like as the Otedolas, one of the country's richest families, threw three different weddings across three different continents for their youngest daughter and actress, Temi Otedola.
Afropop singer Mr. Eazi was the groom who walked down the aisle with billionaire businessman Femi Otedola's daughter.
Their three-part weddings included a civil wedding in Monaco in May, coinciding with the same day as Mr. Eazi’s late mum’s birthday.
A traditional Yoruba wedding in Dubai in July and a classy church wedding in Iceland in August at Hallgrímskirkja Church.
The events, marked by high-fashion outfits and breathtaking destinations, were attended by prominent figures like billionaire Aliko Dangote, John Legend, King Sunny Ade, and Broda Shaggi, among others.
Like Davido and Chioma, the couple’s love story also made it to Vogue Wedding magazine.
Recall that Mr Eazi and Temi first met in 2017 at the Tate Club, where the singer came to watch her elder sister Ifeoluwa (DJ Cuppy) DJ.
3. Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux's JP2025
This was a pan-African celebration, building a bridge between Nigeria, a West African country, and Tanzania, on the eastern part of the continent.
Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress and filmmaker Iyabo Ojo, and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, were among the popular faces in the entertainment industry who got married this year.
The couple’s Nikkah ceremony took place in Tanzania in early 2025, followed by a traditional Yoruba wedding in Lagos and a white wedding in Lagos, both in April.
Their final reception was held in Tanzania on May 28, wrapping up a deeply cultural and star-studded event. In August, Priscilla and Juma welcomed their first child, Rakeem, in Canada.

4. Shawn Faqua and wife’s train wedding
The Nollywood actor and his wife, Dr. Sharon Ifunanya Maduekwe, took a different route regarding the venue of their wedding.
In October, Shawn and his wife made headlines with what is widely regarded as Nigeria’s first train wedding as they exchanged their vows aboard a moving train.
Their white wedding took place on a moving train onboard the Lagos-Ibadan Standard Gauge Railway, which was also celebrated by the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), describing it as a “lovebird to locomotive” moment.
That it is reportedly the first-ever train wedding in Nigeria makes it historic and even more spectacular.
5. African Queen star 2Baba remarries
Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, aka 2Baba, tied the knot with his new wife, Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, in a traditional wedding ceremony held in Abuja on July 25.

2Baba and Natasha's relationship first came to public attention after he confirmed his separation from his estranged wife, actress Annie Macaulay Idibia, in January.
In late November, reports broke out that the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.
6. Eve Esin & Suleman Mohammed's LoveFoundMe25
The actress and producer tied the knot with her husband, Suleman Mohammed, in her 40s. The vibrant, culturally rich traditional wedding took place in Akwa Ibom state on October 18, 2025.
