Congratulations VICTORY & CHIDERA

4.12.21 & 11.12.21

“Our traditional wedding was based around our culture. For our white wedding, we wanted something classy, chic and simple. We brought some of the African style of wedding to Australia and as we were unable to have our family there, we made it as fun as possible.

Victory Egwurube and Chidera Chukwukezie met at a friend’s party. Victory describes the proposal: “It was beautiful! Chidera organised the event with two of my friends. He invited a few of our close friends who thought they were attending a dinner/birthday party. He surprised everyone and myself as well. The proposal was on a rooftop in Hamilton with lights, food and drinks set up for a beautiful surprise.”

“Our traditional African wedding was held in Rockhampton on 4 December 2021. Our Australian wedding was held in Brisbane on 11 December 2021. We had so many highlights. Our bridal party were amazing and were so supportive. Being married to the love of my life is the best thing! The reception at the Emporium Hotel was also one of the best highlights.”

“We spent our honeymoon at Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay.”

“For our traditional wedding we wanted to bring a bit of Nigeria to Australia as we were unable to have all our family with us due to Covid. We had great support from family, friends and our aseobi (bridal party) to ensure a successful day. Our advice for other couples planning their wedding is to plan in advance. It is important to know what you want and not to limit yourself.
