A Nigerian master of ceremonies has set the internet buzzing after a video of him dancing alongside a virtual bride at an engagement ceremony went viral on TikTok on 5 July 2026.

The screen displayed the label "Introduction and Engagement between Oluwarereseyi & Adebowale," with the bride in a green outfit dancing along remotely beside her groom, while multiple other guests joined the call from their own location in Nigeria.

The physical venue was dressed in orange draping and gold décor typical of West African celebrations, giving the event a fully festive feel despite the couple not being present in person.
It appears the couple was based abroad and could not travel back to Nigeria for the traditional introduction, so the ceremony was held partially online, with family and guests gathered at the venue while the couple joined via Zoom.
The MC had to clarify the setup in the comments after viewers were confused by the footage.
"Omo una Dey talk oo 😂. I am the MC in the suit. The bride is with her groom on the screen, look closely.." he wrote.
Virtual weddings remain rare in the Nigerian social scene, making this moment feel both novel and entertaining to the thousands who watched it.
