In a wedding celebration that spanned countries, cultures, and months, Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux closed their multi-ceremony lovefest with a dazzling gold-themed white wedding in Tanzania, a grand finale that felt like the glittering climax of a cinematic romance.
The couple, who made their relationship public earlier this year with matching Instagram soft launches and a co-starring role in Jux’s hit love song “Ololufe Mi”, featuring Tanzanian international star Diamond Platnumz, wrapped up their lavish celebrations on the 28th of May in spectacular fashion. The tagline for the day? Go gold or go home. And everyone did just that.
From Lagos to Dar es Salaam, the celebrations had already been a continent-wide tour of tradition, elegance, and romance. But the Tanzanian finale, dubbed “the big one” by the groom himself, took the cake.
Held at an opulent venue decked out with rich floral arrangements and cultural fusion elements, the ceremony brought the very best of East and West Africa together. Photos of the couple were framed with golden drapery, blending seamlessly into the shimmering backdrop of sequins, lace, and embroidery.
While soft pinks and greens shaped the earlier ceremonies — from the Yoruba traditional wedding in Lagos on April 17 to the white wedding two days later — the final Tanzanian celebration pivoted into bold, unapologetic glamour. Gold dominated the day, with guests interpreting the theme through floor-length gowns dripping in sequins, daring cuts, and dramatic silhouettes. Some added black accents to ground their looks, creating a regal contrast that felt every bit as powerful as the moment itself.
As expected, African fashion did not disappoint, but Tanzanians in particular brought a sartorial fire that lit up the event. Women floated into the venue in gowns that sparkled with every step, each one a unique expression of personal style. East Africa made a fashion statement, and it rang loud and proud.
Actress Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla, and Tanzanian music heartthrob Juma Jux looked every bit the royal couple. Sharing a tender photo captioned “Forever together” on social media, the newlyweds were radiant, representing a true symbol of cross-cultural love done right.
Priscilla stunned in a dazzling white gown embroidered with gold appliqué and paired with a flowing veil, while Jux kept it classically handsome in a tailored white suit with subtle gold embellishments. Their chemistry was undeniable, their joy contagious.
The guest list was just as impressive. Nollywood heavyweights like Funke Akindele joined Tanzanian A-listers in showing up and showing out. Online videos captured everything from the elegant setup to the thunderous ovation as the couple shared their vows and their first kiss.
If the ceremony itself wasn’t enough to leave guests in awe, Juma Jux made sure the night ended with a viral bang. At the after-party, he surprised his new bride with a jaw-dropping gift: a brand new Range Rover. Priscilla, visibly emotional, took to Instagram to express her overwhelming gratitude: “My heart is full,” she wrote. “Thank you so much for this gift, my husband @juma_jux. I’m actually still in shock because I didn’t expect a car, knowing how much you’ve spent on the wedding so far.” But it wasn’t just about the luxury. In a touching tribute, she poured her heart out: “You came into my life and showed me what real love means, and I’m ready for this journey of forever with you.” She described Juma as “patient, sweet, kind, playful, prayerful, loving, honest, and caring”, ending her post with a nod to her Nigerian roots, calling him her “Odogwu”.
From the traditional Yoruba ceremony in Lagos to a Muslim Nikkah in Tanzania, followed by civil and white weddings across both countries, Priscilla and Juma have shown in more than one way the intensity of their love for each other.
In adopting her new Tanzanian name, Hadiza Mkambala, Priscilla embraced her husband’s heart and his heritage; a beautiful gesture of submission and total acceptance of her Juma Jux’s culture
The gold may have shimmered, the dresses may have dazzled, and the gifts may have stunned, but in the end, their display of love lingers. And if #JP2025 has taught us anything, it’s that when two hearts meet with genuine devotion, even the most extravagant celebration still feels intimate.
