For every billionaire’s scion’s marriage to another fellow wealthy family, the myth has it that their unborn kids would be smiling from heaven for the guaranteed quid and the solid networking. This obviously could be the same thought flashing in the minds of Kene and Ugochukwu, the children of Anambra multi-billionaires —Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi and Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Okonkwo— as they began their journey into matrimonial life.
Last weekend, the young couple’s parents —oil magnate Dr. Azudialu, who is the father of the bride, Kene, and esteemed business mogul, Dr. Emma Okonkwo popularly known as Emma Bishop and father of Ugochukwu the dashing groom— captivated hearts of hundreds of invited 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. Kene’s dad 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 Ugo, 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 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 their parents are gearing to deliver what would be rated as the wedding of the year.
