When most brides toss the bouquet, Annystrings Umoh picked up her guitar, and Lagos collectively smiled. In a video now charming timelines, the musician and content creator turned her reception into a live-session love letter, captioning it with a wink: “This is what you get when you marry a guitar girl on her wedding day and ‘joromi’ guitar play.”

From the first shimmer of her pick, the room shifted. Guests swapped small talk for soft humming, phones shot skyward, and the band eased back as Annystrings took center stage, bridal glow, fretboard flow. Her fingers rolled out that unmistakable “Joromi” riff, a golden bridge between eras—nostalgia for Sir Victor Uwaifo’s highlife classic, a nod to modern love anthems, and a signature Naija moment where tradition and pop sensibility slow-danced.
A bride scoring her own soundtrack, folding artistry into matrimonial ritual. Lace and licks. Vows and vibrato. Every chord felt like a blessing spoken in 6/8 time. Aunties swayed, groomsmen grinned, and the groom, equal parts hype-man and heartbeat—watched a story he knows by heart unfold in melody.

Beyond the romance, the moment lands as a manifesto for the modern Naija bride. You can keep culture, keep grace, and still keep your art at the center. In a country where music is memory, Annystrings archived a feeling, two families, one groove, forever.
May their home ring with laughter, and the occasional midweek “Joromi” solo. Love, plugged in.
