In a world where love stories often unfold like scripted fairy tales, the union of Nigerian actress and philanthropist Temi Otedola and Afrobeats sensation Mr. Eazi (real name; Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade) stands out as a real-life epic. Spanning three countries, multiple ceremonies, and a wardrobe of haute couture that could rival any fashion week, their 2025 wedding wasn’t just a celebration—it was a global odyssey of romance, culture, and unapologetic glamour. As exclusively featured in Vogue magazine’s wedding spread, this high-profile Nigerian power couple’s nuptials have captivated the world, blending tradition with modernity in a way that’s equal parts intimate and extravagant. With ceremonies in Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland, their journey from a chance meeting in a London club to “I do” under the Northern Lights is the stuff of dreams—and now, it’s all here for you to savor.
The Unanticipated Beginning: From London Nights to Lifelong Love
Picture this: It’s a chilly night in 2017, and the Tate Club in London is buzzing with energy. Mr Eazi, already making waves in the music scene with hits like “Skin Tight,” spots Temi Otedola across the room. She’s there supporting her sister, the vibrant DJ Cuppy (Florence Otedola), who’s spinning tracks behind the decks. What starts as a casual introduction sparks an instant connection, one that would blossom over the next eight years into a deep, intentional partnership. Temi, the stylish daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola and a rising star in Nollywood with roles in films like The Lionheart, found in Mr Eazi not just a partner, but a creative soulmate who shares her passions for art, philanthropy, and pan-African culture. Their relationship has been a masterclass in low-key romance amid high-profile lives. From joint ventures like their emPawa Africa label to red-carpet appearances that always steal the show, the couple has kept fans guessing about their next move. But when Mr Eazi proposed—details of which remain a closely guarded secret—the planning kicked into overdrive. Opting for an unconventional approach, they decided on not one, but three weddings, each tailored to a different facet of their lives: legal, traditional, and white. As Temi shared in Vogue, this multi-country affair was “deeply personal,” honoring their roots while embracing their globe-trotting lifestyle. The result? A series of events estimated to cost around $14 million, complete with custom designs from top houses and surprise performances that left guests in awe.
Chapter One: Sealing the Deal in Monaco – Elegance on the Riviera
The first “I do” unfolded on May 9, 2025, in the sun-kissed principality of Monaco—a date chosen with poignant significance as it marked the birthday of Mr. Eazi’s late mother. This legal ceremony at the Mairie de Monaco exuded a calm, sophisticated energy, setting the tone for what was to come. Temi stunned in a custom-tailored suit by American designer Wiederhoeft, paired with exquisite jewelry from Briony Raymond that added a touch of timeless sparkle. Mr. Eazi complemented her perfectly in a sleek Louis Vuitton ensemble, embodying effortless cool. Later, for the intimate post-ceremony gathering, Temi slipped into a vibrant Christopher John Rogers number, channeling joy and femininity. The festivities spilled over to a champagne toast at what was once Karl Lagerfeld’s opulent former home, where the couple raised glasses to their future amid Riviera views. It was intimate, with only their closest circle in attendance, but the fashion-forward details screamed high society. As Vogue captured in their exclusive photo spread, this Monaco moment was all about understated luxury—proving that sometimes, the simplest vows can be the most profound.
Chapter Two: Cultural Roots in Dubai – A Yoruba Extravaganza Under the Desert Stars
Fast-forward to July 2025, and the couple jetted to Dubai for their traditional Yoruba ceremony, held at the lavish Otedola family home. This was where their Nigerian heritage took center stage, transforming the event into a vibrant celebration of culture and family. Temi, ever the style icon, underwent four stunning outfit changes, each a masterful interpretation of traditional Nigerian attire by world-renowned designers: a regal Zac Posen gown for the initial rites, a intricate Miss Sohee piece dripping in beadwork, a contemporary twist from Lisa Folawiyo, and a finale in Oscar de la Renta that blended elegance with ethnic flair.
Mr Eazi matched the energy in coordinated traditional attire, ensuring every detail honored their shared heritage. The reception was nothing short of magical, featuring over 2,000 floating lanterns that lit up the night sky like a sea of stars, Ankara-upholstered booths for lounging, and what Temi dubbed her “very own Nigerian Members Club.” Legendary juju musician King Sunny Adé provided the soundtrack, his soulful rhythms getting guests on their feet. High-profile attendees added to the star power, including DJ Diplo, who reportedly switched dates mid-event, sparking whispers among the billionaire-packed crowd. This Dubai chapter wasn’t just a wedding—it was a cultural immersion that bridged continents and generations, as highlighted in Vogue’s detailed feature on the couple’s intentional fusion of traditions.
Chapter Three: Arctic Romance in Iceland – Whispers of the Northern Lights
The grand finale arrived in August 2025, in the ethereal landscapes of Iceland, where the white wedding unfolded like a scene from a Nordic myth. The ceremony took place at the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church in Reykjavik, with Temi gliding down the aisle in a breathtaking custom Fendi Haute Couture gown that floated like a dream—complete with a dramatic train and delicate embroidery that caught the light just so. Mr. Eazi, sharp in Saint Laurent, waited at the altar as Temi made her entrance to Wagner’s timeless “Bridal Chorus,” a moment so picture-perfect it could have been scripted. The reception at Kleif Farm was a feast for the senses, incorporating Iceland’s natural beauty with wildflower accents and geothermal hot springs nearby. But the real magic happened at the midnight arctic beach party, where guests were treated to a surprise performance by none other than John Legend, whose soulful set had everyone swaying under the stars. And as if the universe itself was in on the romance, the Northern Lights made a rare appearance, painting the sky in vibrant hues of green and purple—a celestial blessing that left the couple and their guests spellbound. The day after, Temi and Mr Eazi even led their loved ones to the Hvammsvik Hot Springs for a relaxing soak, turning the post-wedding vibes into pure bliss.
Photographer Jose Villa, reportedly got paid a whopping $50,000 for his services, captured it all in 99 stunning images released exclusively through Vogue, ensuring every feather, bead, and heartfelt glance was immortalized.
A Union That Redefines Love in the Modern Age
As the dust settles on this triple triumph, Temi Otedola and Mr. Eazi emerge not just as husband and wife, but as a beacon for what intentional love looks like in 2025. Their wedding, with its blend of global wanderlust and deep-rooted traditions, reflects a new era for African celebrity couples—extravagant yet personal, cultural yet cosmopolitan. The choice amplified everything they wanted to do: honor family, celebrate culture, show fashion as storytelling and invite close friends into an experience that was both private and impeccably styled. From the Riviera’s glamour to Dubai’s lanterns and Iceland’s auroras, they’ve crafted a story that’s as captivating as their music and films. Vogue’s feature captured that interplay between intimacy and spectacle — and the world watched, liked, and saved the images for styling inspiration.
