The ‘Skinny Girl in Transit’ Actress Sharon Ooja, and her fiancé, Ugo Nwoke, are celebrating their traditional wedding today, Thursday, June 27, in Abuja.
Ooja announced her engagement on social media on March 23, but kept her partner’s identity private by not revealing his face.
Accompanied by friends and family, Sharon Ooja is in the capital city for the traditional ceremony. The white wedding is scheduled to take place at the same venue on Saturday, June 29.
Sharon Ooja embraced her Benue heritage during her wedding, showcasing it in her second outfit, and she didn’t do it alone.
Honoring her Idoma roots, Sharon wore a black and red striped dress known as the ‘APA or Edema,’ enhanced with modern fashion elements including a transparent corset adorned with intricate beadwork.
She complemented her attire with a matching red and black ‘Gele’ made from the same material as her dress. Adding a traditional touch, Sharon carried a hand fan with her husband’s surname, ‘Nwoke,’ inscribed on it.
Mr. Nwoke donned a black bedazzled ‘Senator’ shirt, paired with matching black pants, black shoes, a traditional Idoma hat, and red beads.
