When Nigerian music star Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, tied the knot with actress and fashion entrepreneur Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, it was bound to be a headline-grabbing affair. But their wedding didn’t just capture global attention it earned a feature in Vogue Weddings, with the magazine dubbing it a “three-continent fashion extravaganza.”
From Monte Carlo to Dubai and Iceland, the couple crafted a celebration that was equal parts personal, cultural, and spectacularly stylish.
Monaco: An Intimate Beginning
The festivities began on May 9 in Monte Carlo, Monaco, with a private civil ceremony at the registry office. The date was chosen with deep meaning, coinciding with the late mother of Mr Eazi’s birthday.
After exchanging vows, the newlyweds and a small circle of family and friends celebrated with champagne at Karl Lagerfeld’s Villa La Vigie, a historic site overlooking the French Riviera.
Fashion took center stage from the start:
- Temi Otedola wore a custom Wiederhoeft suit, striking a chic, modern silhouette.
- Mr Eazi complemented her look with a tailored Louis Vuitton ensemble, staying true to his signature sleek style.
Dubai: A Celebration of Heritage
The wedding’s second leg unfolded in July at the Otedola family mansion in Dubai, where the couple hosted a traditional Yoruba ceremony steeped in culture, color, and music.
Temi embraced her Nigerian roots in breathtaking fashion, changing through several custom pieces by Zac Posen, Miss Sohee, Lisa Folawiyo, and Oscar de la Renta. Mr Eazi matched her flair with striking custom fits from Lisa Folawiyo and Tom Talmon.
The highlight of the day was not just the glamorous attire, but also the music of King Sunny Adé, who set the tone for a vibrant celebration that paid homage to Yoruba culture and tradition.
Iceland: A Fairytale Finish
In August, the final chapter of the wedding took place in Reykjavík, Iceland, a destination chosen for its surreal landscapes.
The couple exchanged vows at the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Church, one of Iceland’s most famous landmarks, with Temi dazzling in Fendi Haute Couture. The reception carried on in a glass tent framed by Iceland’s dramatic mountains and glaciers.
Adding to the magic were unforgettable moments, including:
- A surprise performance by John Legend, serenading the couple and their guests.
- An arctic beach party, blending luxury with adventure.
- Time spent at the Hvammsvík Hot Springs, where the couple and their guests relaxed beneath the Northern Lights.
Vogue’s Take
Vogue praised the couple’s ability to weave together intimacy, tradition, and grandeur across three continents. Each celebration felt distinct yet seamlessly tied into the couple’s story—from Monte Carlo’s quiet romance to Dubai’s cultural opulence and Iceland’s fairytale setting.
With high fashion at the heart of each chapter, the weddings showcased not only the couple’s love but also their influence in shaping a new era of African luxury celebrations on the global stage
