The grand finale of Nollywood superstar actress Ini Dima-Okojie‘s wedding to Abasi Ene-Obong founder and CEO of 54 Gene, happened last Saturday May 28th, 2022.
The two had tied the knot traditionally in a rich cultural affair that blended their Edo and Efik cultures so beautifully. After their traditional, the couple sealed the deal with an elegant outdoor white wedding ceremony filled with friends, family and well-wishers.
The intimate white wedding ceremony took place at the Five Palm event centre, an outdoor venue in Oniru, Lagos. The couple exchanged sweet vows and rings, and there were no dry eyes during the exchange.
Ini left us speechless as she looked every bit a stunning bride, clad in a breathtaking wedding dress from Mazel Studio. Abasi also looked handsome and dashing in his Atafo Official suit.
