For every marriage between a billionaire’s heir and another wealthy family, the myth goes that their unborn children are smiling from heaven, assured of a life filled with riches and robust connections.
This could have been the same thought that flashed in the minds of Kene and Ugochukwu, the silver spoon children of Anambra multi-billionaires, Dr. Ernest Obiejesi and Dr. Emmanuel Okonkwo, as they began their journey into the high-stake life of holy matrimony.
Last weekend, the young couple’s parents, oil magnate Dr. Obiejesi, who is the father of the bride, Kene, and esteemed business mogul, Dr. Okonkwo, father of Ugochukwu the dashing groom, captivated the hearts of hundreds of guests at the traditional engagement of their children, held in Okija, Anambra State.
The fairytale ceremony attended by the high and mighty was nothing short of a spectacle. Obiejesi, who owns Nestoil Group, spared nothing to ensure that his equally wealthy in-law from Ichi in Ekwusigo LGA of Anambra and other guests had a wonderful time.
Prior to the traditional ceremony in Okija, the couple had a romantic proposal boat cruise where Ugochukwu, the son of Ekulo Group Chairman, made a heartfelt offer to his sweetheart, Kene. The enchanting moment was followed by a surprise luxury engagement dinner attended by a select few friends. As these progeny of two of Nigeria’s most affluent families prepare for the last stage of the new chapter in their lives, their white wedding and its reception in a few weeks to come, it was learnt that their parents are gearing up to deliver what would be rated as the wedding of the year.
