“Love Within a Storm”: Mercy Johnson & Prince Odi Okojie – A BellaNaija Weddings Exclusive Feature

This week, E! Network broadcast a two-episode special on American reality star, Kim Kardashian’s wedding to Basketball star Kris Humphries which took place on the 20th of August 2011.

This definitely got us thinking!

In Nigeria, the biggest celebrity wedding of the year so far was the August 27th 2011 nuptials of Nollywood star Mercy Johnson and her hearthrob, Prince Odianosen Okojie.
Their journey to the aisle stirred up a media frenzy with numerous soap-opera worthy plot twists. In the end, they made it work and said “I Do”.

Browsing through the internet and magazines, we realized that there was no complete feature showing off Mercy and Odi’s special day! The BN Weddings team decided to change that!

We have compiled an extensive photo feature with uber-exclusive photos illustrating every special moment from Mercy & Odi’s traditional and white weddings from Mercy’s wedding dresses to the UK royal wedding inspired cake. After browsing through, you’ll definitely feel as though you were one of their invited guests.

Enjoy.
