Sharing 99 pictures from the wedding ceremonies on it’s website, Vogue Magazine narrated how the couple met in a cold London night in January 2017 when the Afrobeats musician and actor arrived at the Tate Club to watch Temi’s sister, Florence, perform behind the DJ booth, and their proposal happened five years later.
Speaking in a separate interview with The Office Magazine, Mr Eazi explained how Nigerian culture shaped their ceremonies.
“We brought Nigeria to Dubai in Temi’s family home, all the food, the officiant (the Alaga), the attire of all the staff, guest and performers was all traditional Yoruba attire, the food was all Naija food, and the band was the legendary King Sunny Ade.
Our attires were both Yoruba wedding attire and we had one that was Iseleuku wedding attire as an ode to my late mum’s Ibo heritage, the entire run of events stayed the same as if it were in Lagos and it truly felt like Lagos in Dubai,” he was quoted as saying.
The singer reportedly revealed that the weddings have inspired his music.
“I wanna make more love songs, stripped back acoustic songs that I could perform live at future Nigerian weddings,” he said.
Reflecting on his most memorable moment, Mr Eazi reportedly said, “It was an out of body experience seeing Temi and I get married in Dubai in the presence of our close friends and family and I can’t forget when she was told to describe me and she called all my names including the special name my mum loved to call me.
“Also, before she walked into the church, there was a moment the organist played my mum’s favourite hymn and as she walked in a cloudy day started to turn sunny, this was so special.”
