Actress and style icon Temi Otedola and Afrobeats superstar Tosin “Mr Eazi” Ajibade have tied the knot in not one, not two, but three spectacular weddings spanning Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland. According to inside sources, the total cost was estimated at $15 million USD.
From a civil ceremony in Europe’s playground of royalty, to a Yoruba engagement under Dubai’s desert skies, to a fairytale white wedding in Iceland beneath the auroras, the trilogy tells a love story of intimacy, heritage, and sheer spectacle.
Act I – Monaco: A Mother’s Birthday, A Private Beginning
On May 9, 2025, the couple began their journey at the Marie de Monaco town hall. The date was carefully chosen — it marked what would have been Eazi’s late mother’s 61st birthday, making the moment both poignant and joyful.
The guest list? Just four people: the couple, Temi’s assistant, and one of Eazi’s friends, who acted as witnesses.
Temi wore a sharp white Wiederhoeft suit, her makeup kept fresh and minimal by Harold James of L’Oreal. Eazi wore custom Louis Vuitton, inspired by regal tailoring.
After exchanging vows, the couple dined at the legendary Hôtel de Paris, where Eazi booked a landmark suite overlooking the Monte Carlo Casino. “Monaco was our place of escape,” Temi shared. “It felt right to start there, just us.”
Act II – Dubai: Tradition with a Modern Twist
On July 5, 2025, the couple honoured Yoruba tradition with a vibrant engagement ceremony in Dubai Hills Estate at the Otedola family’s villa — a home Temi once joked was “big enough to host her traditional engagement.” Her father, Femi Otedola, bought the villa years ago, and it ultimately became the stage for her wedding dreams.
Under 80 guests attended, including Africa’s richest men Aliko Dangote and Abdul Samad Rabiu, as well as leading tech entrepreneurs Shola Akinlade, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, and Chika Nwobi.
The event was nothing short of a Lagos-meets-Dubai production:
- The Alaga Shokoyokoto and Tee A hosted with Yoruba prayers and humour.
- Kiza Restaurant flew in Nigerian cuisine.
- Temi personally redesigned the villa, including a massive garden tent that took 17 days to build.
The couple wore five different looks across the day, including a custom Zac Posen gown, a dramatic Miss Sohee couture piece, and a standout Lisa Folawiyo design incorporating akwa ocha — a textile from Anambra — in tribute to Eazi’s late mother’s Iseluku heritage.
Eazi’s traditional ensembles, styled by Jason Rembert, carried his Afro-fusion signature. Guests arrived in coordinated burgundy aso ebi, making the entire scene look like a living runway.
The night crescendoed with a live performance by music legend King Sunny Ade & his full band. Later, guests were whisked away to the basement of the family’s lavish second villa in the multi-million-dollar estate for an afterparty that rivalled the main event. Led by DJ Edu (Choplife Soundsystem) and Diplo, complete with food, cocktails, and the groom’s favourite Ghanaian drinks.
Act III – Iceland: A Fairytale Under the Northern Lights
The trilogy’s finale took place on August 8, 2025, in Iceland — a country Temi and Eazi have visited twice a year since 2021.
At the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral in Reykjavík, just under 80 guests gathered as Pastor Tash Kusi (HTB London) blessed the marriage.
Temi stunned in a custom Fendi gown with Briony Raymond jewelry, later changing into a House of Giles gown for the reception. Eazi wore Saint Laurent for the ceremony before switching to Alexander McQueen for the dinner.
The reception at Kleif Farm nearly didn’t happen. Just four days before the wedding, a windstorm tore the roof and side panels off the massive glass tent built for the occasion. The couple chartered a cargo plane to fly in replacement materials, and with double the manpower, the tent was rebuilt in 48 hours.
The result was spectacular: an “ice and fire” theme designed by Temi herself, with an Icelandic-inspired menu and cocktail hour.
The entertainment was unforgettable:
- French pianist Sofiane Pamart performed during dinner.
- The night’s secret? John Legend appeared, performing live during Temi’s father–daughter dance and her first dance with Eazi.
The reception ended at 1 a.m., but the couple wasn’t finished. At the Edition Hotel, they opened Club TT (Tosin & Temi), where Choplife Soundsystem played until 4:30 a.m. Temi wore a shimmering Ludovic de Saint Sernin ensemble while Eazi danced in a Louis Vuitton runway vest.
The weekend closed with a farewell at the Hamsvik Hot Springs, where guests swam beneath the stars before the night ended with a rare display of the auroras, painting the sky in green and purple.
The Price of Love
According to inside sources, the total cost was estimated at between $15 million USD. But for Temi and Eazi, it wasn’t about extravagance; it was about meaning.
