Chinenye & Lucas
Wedding Party
Anthony Anani
Best Man
Anthony Anani aka Nanoski. A perfect gentleman and one of the smartest Pediatricians Lucas knows. Lucas first met Anthony at the University of Ibadan through Francis (Lucas’s brother). This gentleman was a basketball fanatic who would play basketball while taking his medical exams at the University of Ibadan. Anthony, who is like a brother to Lucas, is one of his most trustworthy friends. Anthony is a Pediatrician by profession and is currently based in Texas. He is happily married to Dr Elohor and has two wonderful children. He is a fun loving guy and has always been a true friend to Lucas. Lucas is also the Godfather to his lovely daughter. His hobbies include hanging out with friends and family, working out and of course playing basketball.
Nansa Sheriff
Maid of Honor
Nansa and Chinenye have been each other’s ride or die, personal paparazzi and travel partners. Nansa likes to plan their adventures and Chinenye likes to jump on board for the ride. When Nansa is not globetrotting, she is cooking, photographing everything and writing stories. She has a knack for the written word and will be a famous author someday. Nansa often finds herself in awkward situations while wearing jumpsuits (make sure to ask her about this). Her most important job is that of single mom to a beautiful little girl. Nansa is on a mission to show her 4 year old the world (as of today, her daughter's passport has more stamps than most adults I know). If you can’t locate Nansa, she’s likely crafting her next world adventure. Chinenye is blessed to have her as her Maid of Honor.
Olaitan Ogunbiyi
Groomsman
Olaitan Ogunbiyi aka Oguns baba also grew up with Lucas and Emeruwa in the same neighborhood in Lagos, Nigeria. Olaitan is an Engineer/Project Manager by profession and is currently based in Lagos Nigeria. Olaitan also went to University of Ibadan with Lucas where their friendship still grew strong. Olaitan enjoys traveling all around the world and enjoys hanging out with family and friends. Olaitan is happily married with a lovely wife and two children.
Adaora Ukoha
Bridesmaid
The 1st of the Famous “Adimora” Five and Leader of the Pack, Adaora (a.k.a Ada) is Chinenye’s eldest sister and the one who sets the example which everyone else follows. Although an Accounting Manager by day, Ada truly missed her calling as a stand-up comedian! She makes everyone laugh daily. Ada is the amazing mother to Chinenye's goddaughter and niece, Uche. Ada's love for numbers, calculations and making lists makes her very well suited for her career in Accounting. There’s nothing Ada doesn’t do well. She’s strong, kindhearted, and family oriented. Since she’s the only one sibling who speaks Igbo fluently, Chinenye will be relying on her to translate things during the traditional wedding! Chinenye is Laugh Out Loud (get it?) happy to have Adaora as her Bridesmaid.
Donald Emenim
Groomsman
Donald and Lucas went to the same Secondary school F.G.C. Warri. Donald currently resides in Denver, Colorado where Lucas’ parents also reside. He is a trusted friend like the rest of the crew and a true reliable person. Whenever Lucas is not available to check in on his parents in Denver, Donald is always readily available to help out and makes sure they get all the assistance they can. Donald is an engineer by profession and he is happily married with a lovely wife and daughter.
Ekene Ogwu
Bridesmaid
Ekene is Chinenye’s 2nd older sister. Although a financial auditor, Ekene is more of an artist and lover of all things fun! She’s the free-spirit and dreamer of the Adimora Five. In Ekene's own words, she’s a “live for the day & worry about tomorrow” kind of girl. If she wasn't busy being an amazing wife and mother to Chinenye’s adorable nephews (3.5 years old and 9 months old), you would find her on a beach somewhere, laying in the sun, drinking mojitos and dancing the night away. She’s very perceptive and believes that in her previous life she had to have been a Psychologist. Chinenye is thankful for Ekene’s timely advice which comes in handy when needed. Ekene is fiercely loyal, gets along with everyone and always puts family first. Chinenye is ecstatic to have Ekene as her Bridesmaid.
Emeruwa Ndukwe
Groomsman
Emeruwa Ndukwe aka Gbendu grew up within the same neighborhood as Lucas and went to the same Primary school with Lucas in Nigeria. They have known each other since they were 6 years old and they have been inseparable since then. Like Anthony, Emeruwa is like a brother and will always be. Emeruwa enjoys hanging out with friends and family, he enjoys going out and traveling. He is happily married with 4 beautiful children. Lucas is excited to have him as his groomsman for his most exciting day.
Nnenna Finn
Bridesmaid
Nnenna may be the last born but she strives to excel in everything and surpass everyone. She’s the sister that just loves school and learning. So much so that when she was done with her BS in BioMedical Engineering, she decided, it would be fun to go for that Doctorate too! And she did, with flying colors! Nnenna is a lover of delicious, sweet and shiny things. You can make her day by offering her coffee ice cream with a warm brownie drizzled with nutella or if you are feeling more inclined, a diamond bracelet! She’s obsessed with jewelry and loves to travel -- she hopes to visit all the best beach destinations around the world. Nnenna is an amazing wife and mother to Chinenye’s 5 year old nephew and 3 year old niece. Chinenye is thrilled to have Nnenna as her Bridesmaid.
Kayode Okusi
Groomsman
Lucas has known Kayode Okusi for over 15 years. They first met at a social event through Emeruwa and they have been friends ever since. Kay as most people know him is more of a socialite. He loves going out to events and almost knows about any social event happening in Atlanta...LOL. He has a good sense of humor and loves to have fun and crack funny jokes. Lucas is happy to have him as one of his groomsmen.
Imudia Ehanire
Bridesmaid
This beautiful naturalista is a General Surgeon. Imudia and Chinenye have known each other since college. They were always seen on campus together, whether it was in the library studying, strolling the quad making boys drool, jumping into snow mounds or performing in front of audiences. Chinenye knew their friendship was meant to be because it was written in the stars (they are both Pisces). When Imudia is not saving lives, she enjoys making people laugh, cooking, taking luxurious vacations, reading, painting, working out, meditation and learning about God. She’s also a proud pet parent to her little rescue dog named Bella. If you want to make her smile, get her something turquoise (she’s obsessed with that color in a pathologic way). Chinenye is delighted to have Imudia as her Bridesmaid.
Lawrence Adimora
Groomsman
Lawrence Adimora aka Zammie is the Bride’s junior brother. He is an actor and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He is one of the coolest, down to earth young dudes you will ever meet. A soft spoken gentleman with a good sense of humor. You already know how Lucas and Zammie were introduced (lol). Zammie is a respectable man who is passionate about his craft. Lucas is happy to have Zammie as one of his groomsman.
Uche Azubike
Bridesmaid
Uche is Chinenye’s 1st niece and God-daughter. She is a hard working High School student who makes being a straight A, 4.0 student look easy. Uche doesn’t give up until she accomplishes whatever goal she has set for herself. She is a beautiful soul who enjoys photography, reading, writing, and relaxing with her loved ones. She takes after her mother in that whatever she touches, she masters, be it cooking, making soaps or bath bombs from scratch or mimicking her grandparents’ hilarious mannerisms and making people laugh. She hopes to one day travel to Paris, Bora Bora, the Caribbean and more. She is one of the kindest and most loyal people you’ll ever meet. Chinenye is incredibly lucky to have Uche as her Bridesmaid.
