The Ukegbus & Erondus Invite You to Celebrate:
Wedding Party
Anuri Ireaja
Maid of Honor
My name is Anuri and I’ve had the honor of growing up with Chichi and now I get to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life. We’ve shared so much together but nothing tops this moment! Watching her walk into this next chapter is a dream come true, and I’ll be the one right beside her (probably crying), cheering her on every step of the way. Let the happy tears and the scattering of the dance floor begin!

What a privilege it is to celebrate you on your wedding day, ChiChi! You’ve accomplished so much, your hustle is inspiring, and I’m so happy that you’ve found a love that allows you to shine even brighter. I can’t wait to see what else you accomplish in this new chapter of your life. Let’s hurry up and get you married!!!
Zaundra Antoine
Bridesmaid
Hi my name is Zaundra — the bride’s best friend since kindergarten. We’ve been stuck together since snack time and nap times. Chichi and I have planned everything together, from our future careers to living in matching houses next door, raising our families like a sitcom. The housing plan didn’t exactly pan out... but, we did nail the career part! Chichi has always been the planner — the dreamer with a vision and a plan to make it happen. So when she met Ike and said, “Yeah, that’s gonna be my husband”, I knew Chichi would make it happen. She speaks it, prays about it,and it happens. I’m so proud of the amazing woman she’s become, and even more honored to stand with her on her wedding day!

Groomsman
“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years”. Ike is a man that makes every moment count and can turn any moment into a memorable one. This is a gift only reserved for those that understand their assignment, that know the importance of life and are willing to share with others the fullness of life only granted by God. As you continue to pour onto others, may God continue to pour onto you. Come April 4th we will chop life well well
Izuchi Ukegbu
Groomsman
This is Izuchi, the brother of the bride, and I've known my boy Ike for a long time, even as kids. It was probably a little bit of divine intervention on my first day on Loma Linda's campus 5 years ago when I ran into him again and found some familiarity in a new place. Happy that he has found a way to being a brother for life!
Mackenson Vendome
Groomsman
Hello everyone! My name is Mack Vendome, and I’m honored to be one of the groomsmen! As his first college roommate, it’s been incredible to witness the journey from our freshman days to now. The struggle was real but so was God. Seeing the young man I met back then become a husband is one of the greatest joys of my life. We thank God!
Anderson Watson
Groomsman
From backyard sports to standing by his side today, I’m thrilled to celebrate Ike's marriage, my childhood partner-in-crime and lifelong friend. For over 15 years, we’ve navigated everything from stressing about college to adulting—proof that his loyalty never wavered. Honored to be a groomsman and can't wait to see what life brings you in this next chapter!
Christopher Celis
Groomsman
Hello - my name is Chris, and I had the privilege of bringing these love birds together. Haha Nah but in all seriousness, I am glad to see that Okwuchi and Ike’s love for each other has grown this far. Excited for April 2026 to come!

We’re leveling up — from questionable dorm meals and monthly planning meetings, through graduation, navigating our careers, and now building families.
