The Nigerian community in New Jersey bore witness to a celebration of love, culture and unity as Christelle, a radiant Haitian bride, said "I do" to her Nigerian groom, Ireke, in a heartwarming wedding ceremony that beautifully bridged two rich heritages.
The solemnization of holy matrimony took place at the historic St. Anthonys Roman Catholic Church in New Jersey, where family, friends, and well-wishers gathered to celebrate the sacred union. Chrystelle, glowing with joy, was every bit the picture of happiness as she joined hands with her Abia State-born sweetheart, Ireke, a proud son of the Abiriba Enachioken ancient kingdom.
The ceremony was followed by a fairytale-like reception at the elegant Tide Estate in New Jersey. A truly multicultural affair, the reception was a sensory delight that featured a seamless blend of African and Caribbean culture-vivid colors, intricate fashion, and an abundance of traditional cuisine created an unforgettable experience for guests of all backgrounds.
Anchored by MC Henry Asusu, DJs Ted Bounce and Freshyk brought the dancefloor to life, spinning an energetic mix that had guests dancing well into the evening.
