Timeline of their 3-part wedding
The Saturday event was the concluding part of their three-part wedding which began in January. The first leg of their wedding took place in the United Kingdom in January. It was a small intimate civil wedding ceremony. The second leg of the wedding took place on Wednesday, July 2026 with the paying of bride price rites and traditional marriage. This part of the ceremony took place in Gbaramatu kingdom of Delta State. The grand finale of the wedding was what happened this past Saturday.
Soso who obviously doesn’t like to do things in half measures flew in almost all of his guests from outside Delta State with several private jets. On their arrival at the Warri airport, his guests were ferried in luxury SUVs, salon cars to their respective luxury hotels and apartments in style. Soso ensured that his guests experienced ultimate comfort from arrival to their departure. Besides ferrying his guests, some of the other guests who made it to the wedding chartered private jets on their own to ensure they didn’t miss the wedding.Drinks, souvenirs also got luxury treatment
