Late Dora Akunyili’s daughter and husband hold a 2nd wedding in Canada

Late Dora Akunyili’s daughter, Chidiogo Akunyili, and her Canadian husband Andrew Parr held another wedding in his native country, Canada, months after their Nigerian wedding.



The couple had earlier held their traditional and white wedding in Agulu, Anambra, Nigeria, in June.

The ceremony was an intimate affair organised outdoors in a setting that looked like an ancient Igbo village square meeting. There was a fire in the middle while wedding guests sat around it.

The bride and groom walked in to a melodious Igbo love song reminiscent of the types sung in Nollywood movies.

The couple went around to greet their guests and the high point was watching the bride’s father hug her, wipe her face with a handkerchief then hug her again.

The minister also joked about the fact that the couple have had a couple of other weddings.

He said to the amusement of wedding guests:

There’s just no stopping these two from getting hitched, hitched, and hitched

Sharing photos from the ceremony, Chidiogo wrote:

I will follow you until the end of time.

She added:

Full circle #chidandrew #??
