“Iceland is our special place”: See Temi Otedola and Mr Eazi's Icelandic white wedding

To paraphrase Usher, Oluwatosin “Mr Eazi” Ajibade and Temi Otedola found love in the club. It was a cold London night in January 2017 when the Afrobeats musician and actor arrived at the Tate Club to watch Temi’s sister, Florence, perform behind the DJ booth. Five years later, Oluwatosin proposed to Temi in Venice on the set of his music video for “Legalise.”

In 2025, the high-profile Nigerian couple held three different weddings across three countries with the help of Califano Productions. The first? May 9th in Monaco. It was a meaningful date and location: May 9th is Eazi’s late mother’s birthday, and the Otedola family has a home in the European principality. Temi wore a custom suit designed by Wiederhoeft and jewellery by Briony Raymond for their official ceremony at Mairie de Monaco in Monte Carlo. Eazi, meanwhile, went with Louis Vuitton. “We’ve been engaged for three years and together for eight, so we had this weirdly calm energy all day. It just made sense. Just the two of us, in Monaco, a place we partly call home, and no distractions, no fanfare,” Temi says of their low-key legal wedding.

After the paperwork was signed, Temi changed into a Christopher John Rogers black-and-white polka-dot dress for Champagne at Villa La Vigie, Karl Lagerfeld’s home in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.

Two months later, the couple held a Yoruba wedding ceremony at the Otedola family home in Dubai. Temi, a fashion collector, had an extensive bridal trousseau of four outfits respectively made by Zac Posen, Miss Sohee, Lisa Folawiyo, and Oscar de la Renta. “I wanted to have some of my favourite designers and visionaries create traditional Nigerian attire, and I was blown away by their interpretations,” she tells Vogue. Carrie Goldberg of CLG Creative and Momo Hassan-Odukale assisted as bridal stylists.

Eazi, who worked with stylist Jason Rembert, came out to the beat of drummers in a Lisa Folawiyo Studio custom look and a cane by Tom Talmon Studio. Temi soon followed in a custom Zac Posen dress and gele as the Mr. Eazi song “Skintight” played.

Posen tells Vogue that he envisioned “something that felt almost like Nefertiti”, creating a duchesse satin dress that followed the contours of her body as well as a the complimenting gele. In the back was a statement bow that the designer made to resemble dove wings. “[It]had kind of an old world quality mixed with a futurism and modernism," he says of the design.

The bride says that their ceremony was “really emotional.” “I think we both were in the headspace of it being a day to celebrate our families and culture, but the realisation of how profound it was set in as soon as we both walked out. In Nigerian traditional ceremonies you sit and dress according to the family you're representing, but on both sides everyone was immediately teary eyed. Sitting with my parents for what is symbolically the last time before they send me to my new family particularly hit home for me.” When Temi called Eazi “my oko” – which means husband in Yoruba, the groom admits he almost shed a tear.

Afterward, they held a reception in Temi’s family backyard. Inside a grand draped tent, over 2,000 lanterns, dozens of chandeliers, as well as tropical greenery hung from the ceiling. Guests lounged in restaurant-style booths upholstered in colourful Ankara fabric while dining on traditional Nigerian dishes like pounded yam, snail, and egusi. “My whole vision was to create a tent setting that transported you to Lagos for the night—or my very own Nigerian Members Club,” says Temi. Temi changed into an ornate blue-and-red aso oke ensemble by Miss Sohee, and Eazi matched her in an agbada from Jagne by Baba Jagne.

During dessert (which included an Arabic coffee pour), Temi and Eazi snuck off to change. While their first two wedding outfits honoured the couple’s Yoruba heritage, their third were a nod to the Igbo roots of Eazi’s late mother. Lisa Folawiyo designed a top and skirt in traditional akwa ocha fabric for the bride, adding hand-beaded fringe as a statement accent. Eazi, meanwhile, wore a coordinating outfit from Mazelle. Together, they danced as famous Nigerian musicians King Sunny Adé and DJ Eude performed. “We didn’t sit down once,” says Temi.

Then, an after-party was held in the Otedola family home’s basement, which was turned into a shisha lounge. Guests were served ginger shots from Republic Bar, the couple’s favourite nightlife spot in Accra, Ghana. Among the festive commotion, the couple managed to do their third and final outfit swap: Temi into a custom gold chain Oscar de la Renta dress and Eazi into a sparkling Toure Designs custom jacket put over a Saint Laurent tank and pants. “All throughout we honoured our rich culture but made sure everything felt like us,” Temi says of their second wedding.

In August, it was time for the grand finale: a white wedding in Iceland, which Temi describes as “our favourite place on earth.” It began with a rehearsal dinner at the Harpa Opera House in Reykjavik , for which the bride wore a Valentino dress and cape. The next day, Temi walked down the aisle in an Audrey Hepburn–inspired Fendi Haute Couture gown at the Hallgrimskirkja church as an organist played Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus.” Eazi waited for her in head-to-toe Saint Laurent. “Everything needed to feel very darkly romantic and natural,” Temi says of their aesthetic for their arctic summer nuptials. The pastor from their church in London, Holy Trinity Brompton, officiated the ceremony.

Afterward, they drove out to Kleif Farm in Mosfellsbær, Iceland. Temi arrived at their ice-themed cocktail hour in a lace House of Gilles gown and cape, whereas Eazi wore Alexander McQueen. Her father, Nigerian businessman Femi Otedola, walked her down the aisle. After speeches from family and friends, it was time for dinner inside a glass tent nestled among the Icelandic fields. “For the reception, my inspiration was to bring the nature of Iceland inside, using fog, moss, volcanic stone and waterfall elements,” the bride says of their high-design reception.

Despite the dramatic setting, the couple wanted the evening to feel relaxed. Wine was self-serve, and dinner was laid out family style from Oto, their favourite restaurant in Reykjavík. “Eazi was very insistent that this feel like a feast, so there was no ordering or courses. We just had our favourite dishes—including Hokkaido bread, beetroot gyoza, agnolotti, and creamy polenta—rolling out,” says Temi. The groom also had a surprise for the bride: secretly, he booked John Legend to perform.

After the musician took his final bow, the couple and their guests headed back to The Edition for a party in their underground nightclub, where the bride changed into a party-ready mini by Ludovic Saint Sernin and matching Larroude boots. The groom, meanwhile, put on a full look by Louis Vuitton. Both wore custom jackets embroidered with: “Love Is Eazi.”

On their final day of their final wedding, they traveled by boat to the Hvammsvik hot spring where they held an arctic beach party. Guests soaked in geothermal pools – or braved a cold plunge in the fjord – while DJ Michael Brun played. Then, there was the food: “We had our favourite Icelandic food hall market vendors set up their stalls varying from burrata pistachio pizza, to the best butter chicken in Europe, to the iconic Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur hot dog that has been an Icelandic ‘must do’ since 1937 (even Anthony Bourdain was a fan),” says Eazi. The party stretched on until midnight when the sun finally – and briefly – set, allowing the Northern Lights to flash across the sky. Temi wore Alaïa for the occasion.

“Eazi and I have always been unconventional,” says Temi of their multi-wedding summer. “All throughout we honoured our rich culture but made sure everything felt like us.”
