A Nigerian couple went viral after their low-key wedding, which lacked the major fancy hall, large guests, reception, and other elements.
The couple married in a simple ceremony that prioritized love over luxury, demonstrating that weddings do not have to be lavish.
The story was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Godwin Enakhena, a sports journalist who attended the wedding in Ibadan, Oyo State. According to him, the couple did not rent an event space, hire a musical band, or serve drinks, but everything went smoothly.
Enakhena, who identified the bride as Mary, his secretary at MFM Women Basketball Club, praised the couple for their decision.
“You don’t need millions to get married! Mary, my Secretary at MFM Women Basketball Club, got married in Ibadan yesterday without hiring an event center, no reception, no drinks served, no musician on the bandstand, no compulsory asho-ebi. May God bless this union,” he captioned the post.
The couple’s simple approach has sparked online discussions, with many agreeing that weddings should be about commitment rather than financial strain.
