France felt the full fire of Naija love this weekend as Kene and Ugo tied the knot in a white wedding ceremony straight out of a billionaire fairytale. Forget “destination wedding”—this was a cultural takeover, a fusion of French elegance and Nigerian opulence, set against the backdrop of rolling vineyards, chateaux, and Champagne dreams.
The couple, both renowned for their entrepreneurial drive and panache. With family and friends flying in from all corners of the globe, the guest list was a roll-call of Africa’s finest, Hollywood’s brightest, and France’s elite, all gathered to witness a union built on love, ambition, and mutual respect.
The ceremony itself was a masterclass in modern romance, vows exchanged beneath a canopy of white roses, live classical music blending with the subtle beat of Afrobeats, and a priest who blessed the union in both English and Igbo. Champagne flowed, the scent of fresh baguettes mixed with Nigerian cuisine wafted through the air, and laughter echoed off the ancient stone walls.
The after-party? Pure Naija energy. A French château transformed into an all-night celebration—DJ spinning Afrobeats and Amapiano, the bride and groom leading a glamorous dance procession, and the signature Nigerian “spray” tradition painting the dance floor in a shower of crisp euros and Naira. Top-tier chefs served fusion dishes marrying West African spices with French culinary artistry, while Nigerian and French designers clashed in a friendly, fabulous fashion face-off.
Beyond the glitz, the wedding was a powerful symbol of new-school African excellence going global—families uniting, cultures interweaving, and two hearts vowing to build a future across continents.
France, thank you for hosting, but this weekend, it was all about Kene & Ugo—love, luxury, and a future brighter than a Paris sunrise.
