Ameena and Hakeem’s wedding kicked off in Katsina with the Sa Lalle
ceremony where the bride was gorgeously adorned with Lalle. It was a
chance for the women in the family as well as female friends to bond
ahead of the rest of the wedding schedule. Up next was the Kamu
ceremony. With the bride Ameena looking lovely her traditional outfit
in resplendent aqua blue tones accessorized with gold jewellery while
the groom chose a classic cream and ivory traditional attire, it was a
night rich in culture and tradition as everyone celebrated the joyous
union.
After the Wedding Fatiha
ceremony was completed, it was time for more celebration at the the
wedding reception! Ameena looking amazing in her all-gold traditional
outfit paired with a gold headtie which also complemented her husband
Hakeem’s white attire. For the wedding reception night party, there was
no doubt who the focus of all the activities was as the couple once
again emerged with Hakeem dressed in a black Babariga with gold
trimmings while Ameena’s striking red and gold outfit elicited WOWs from everyone in attendance.
With the formal wedding festivities concluded, it was time for the bride to journey to her new home. As she was unveiled at the Kai Amarya ceremony at her new family home. With that done, a cultural night celebrating the Ameena and Hakeem took place in Abuja.
The wedding cocktail party was so much
fun with Burna Boy and Iyanya entertaining guests while friends gave
speeches and had a merry time with the couple. The grand finale of
Ameena and Hakeem’s wedding was their wedding reception at the
International Conference Centre in Abuja. The bride had looked so
beautiful all through the wedding festivities and she was totally
gorgeous once again as she stepped out in her Oscar de la Renta wedding
dress. With her hair in a striking high bun accentuated with a
glittering hair piece and a dramatic lace veil, she looked stunning! The
groom looked handsome in his bespoke double-breasted powder blue suit.
With award-winning soul singer Bez serenading them as they walked
hand-in-hand into their wedding reception, it was such an amazing
moment. The rest of the event was filled with live performance from
superstars including M.I, the couple’s first dance, speeches, fun
moments with friends and lots more!
BN wishes Ameena and Hakeem a blessed life together as one.
