Can you imagine having three weddings in three months, all in different countries, having John Legend as a surprise performer, and being featured in Vogue? Well, that’s the case for Nigeria’s glamorous newlyweds, Temi Ajibade and Oluwatosin “Mr Eazi” Ajibade, and if you don’t know who they are, then we’ll fill you in.

Mr Eazi and Temi Ajibade are the Nigerian couple going viral on social media right now. Temi Ajibade is the daughter of Nigerian businessman and billionaire, Femi Otedola. She is also an ambassador for L’Oreal Paris, an actress, and fashion vlogger who posts behind-the-scenes of her fabulous life on her YouTube and TikTok pages. To put it simply, she is Nigeria’s IT girl.

Mr Eazi is a popular afrobeats artist and the owner of Zagadat Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in a range of industries like music, technology, and gaming, according to the Nigerian publication BusinessDay. This past summer, after eight years of fans watching their relationship flourish, the couple’s marriage celebration took over social media.

They first met in a London nightclub in 2017, and it was love at first sight, according to Vogue. It was only five years later, in 2022, that Mr Eazi got on one knee and asked Temi to be his wife while they were in Venice. Their engagement video alone received over 350,000 likes on Temi’s TikTok page, with fans sending their congratulations in the comments, but it would take another three years for the couple to plan their wedding well…, their weddings.

The first stop for the couple’s international wedding tour was in Monaco on May 9, where they had their civil wedding. Keeping the glamour of it relatively simple, Temi stunned in a custom white suit by Wiederhoeft, and Eazi looked sharp in a well-tailored grey suit from Louis Vuitton, per Vogue.

Just two months later, the couple would head to Dubai for their traditional Nigerian ceremony, where they dazzled in traditional Nigerian wedding attire.

On TikTok, Temi Ajibade posted the traditional ceremony that was held at her family’s home in Dubai this July. The couple also threw what might have been the coolest wedding party this year, and looked stunning in matching burgundy outfits while they danced the night away with family.

Finally, in August, the couple had their white wedding in Iceland, where Mr Eazi surprised his wife with a performance by the king of wedding music, John Legend. Temi walked down the aisle Fendi Haute Couture gown, and Eazi looked incredibly classy in a Saint Laurent suit, per Vogue.

The video of their Iceland ceremony has gone viral on TikTok with over 1 million likes and comments from fans who have nothing but wonderful things to say about all three ceremonies.

“Everything about your wedding is beautiful,” wrote one user in the comments.

“At this point we need a Netflix series of this wedding,” added another.

“This is clearly a dream wedding,” added another.

While it is easy to see the love between this fabulous couple when watching videos of their ceremony, the love is even more evident when Temi speaks about her hubby. In a recent interview with BBC Nigeria, Ajibade said that he is her person.

“…He is my best friend… When you meet your person, you know. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else. He is the person that I am excited and can’t wait to spend every day with, and build our lives together and work through our ups and downs together… He is simply my person.”

Temi Ajibade also decided to drop her father’s last name, “Otedola,” a bold move considering the wealth and influence of her family. However, after she was asked why in her BBC interview why she decided to take her husband’s last name, Ajibade’s answer was just another testament to the couple’s wonderful love story.

“…When I’m now a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. It’s my personal choice. I respect everybody’s personal choice. It’s what I’m comfortable and happy doing.”
