Ufu & Nehemiah
Wedding Party
Jennah Jones
Maid of Honor
We both loathed physics and we both had spectacular music taste. These were the makings of some very chaotic study sessions in college, but also, a life-long friendship with the bride <3
David Emaikwu
Best Man
I've known the groom since he was but a twinkle in his parents' eyes. We go way back like two flats on a Cadillac .
Nossé Ovienmhada
NossBoss of Honor
I’ve known the bride for 27 years, long enough to remember her hogging the maple syrup at breakfast. Thankfully, she’s learned to share much more than condiments—like her heart, her humor, and now, her life with Nehemiah.
Simon E. Emaikwu
Groomsman
As the oldest of the 5 siblings, I'm still not quite sure when Nemi went from boy to man-he's been a 40-year-old-man since he was 12. Always the mature one, and I've genuinely admired that about him (even if it made the rest of us look like slackers). Can't wait to celebrate!

Bridesmaid
I met the bride during move in week at Stanford! When no one else was cool enough to make up a dorm chant with me, Ufu was my partner in crime. We’ve been Goof and Goober ever since.
Matthew Emaikwu
Groomsman
I’ve known the groom my whole life. If you think he’s charming now, you should’ve seen him with flip flops and cargo shorts. . .
Onome Aganbi
Bridesmaid
My sister, Ufu, is a triple threat, smart, beautiful, and hilarious—and the only one who can keep up with me on the dance floor! . .
Manu Wanjala
Groomsman
Gym bro since 2019 and my Best Man—built like a tank, sinks like a rock. Still can’t believe he almost drowned in a kiddie pool during our swim lesson. Guess those gains didn’t include buoyancy! 😂
Aramide Alaka
Bridesmaid
I’m a cousin of the bride and also - dare I say?! - the critical gorilla glue that bound these two together. Tune into the toast! . .
Moises Umanzor
Groomsman
I met the groom at the University of Maryland in 2013. We grew close through countless study sessions, morning workouts, and our shared passion for playing soccer.
Kayla Allison
Bridesmaid
Was set up on a blind friend-date with the Bride over Ethiopian food in 2021, and never a moment without flavor since!
Theo Abah
Groomsman
I’ve known the groom since we were kids - before he had his ‘Taye Diggs’ transformation .
Hanna Dodd
Bridesmaid
Yes, we’re both Pisces. We definitely got in trouble in high school art class for exercising our creativity by talking instead of painting. . .
Joshua Abah
Groomsman
I’ve known the groom since our families lived together as kids (starting from when he broke my bike in the 1st grade…no, I haven’t forgotten). We’ve been both cousins and brothers ever since.
Helen Audu
Bridesmaid
I’ve known the groom since the good old days sharing the womb as twins… these days, we mostly just share memes. . .
Corban Swain
Groomsman
I’ve known the bride for most of our time in grad school at MIT, and I met (as well as heard about 👀) the groom shortly after the two had their first encounter. It has been a joy to see this LOVE grow from planting to blooming!
Tia Emaikwu
Bridesmaid
I met my darling sister-wife in our era of dating the Emaikwu guys, it was love at first twerk

I single handedly witnessed the bride have a relationship with a Joe Jonas poster when we were in middle school.
