It was a landmark ceremony yesterday at Landmark Event Centre, Oniru, Victoria Island, Lagos when top nollywood actor, Mike Ezuruonye wedded his dearly beloved, Nkechi in grand style

No doubt the ladies man must have seen something unique in Nkechi. The couples' traditional wedding took place  in Imo State, Nigeria sometime in May 2010.

gistmaster.com gathered that their love story started 2 years ago.They met when Mike was on location in Abuja. Mike was at a residence to shoot and Nkechi was in the country from her Canada base at that time. She was visiting her godmother who happens to be the owner of the house Mike and co were using for the movie shoot.Before anyone knew what was going on, they have sealed their  the ' I will love you forever' contract.

Unlike the wedding of top comedian, Basket Mouth, which was lowly patronized by her fellow Glo ambassadors, this one was a festival of celebrities, with each one of them trying to out do the other with state of the art automobiles.

From actress, Rita Dominic who stepped in the rich style of her attire and chauffeur driven limousine to Ini Edo Ehigwina who came in a head turning Chrysler, others  such as Kate Henshaw,Ebube Nwangbo (She came in a hummer), Annie Macauley also came in eye popping cars.Others at the event included the duo of KC Presh,Psquare, Stella Damasus Nzeribe, Stephanie Okereke, Empress Njamah and others.Timaya was also around for a short time.
