Efe Weds Marvis

The Bride’s parents accepted the Groom’s N24 bride price offer and the traditional engagement was sealed with a kiss.

This sums up the beautifully planned traditional engagement ceremony between Efe and Marvis held this afternoon.

The two Housemates were Voted by you the public as their favourite Bride and Groom for the #BBWedding, which was this week’s theme.

The Groom’s representatives presented the Bride’s parents, ThinTallTony and Bisola with gifts and further engaged them in the bride price talks. They offered N24 to the Bride’s family, an amount they accepted.

After the talks, the blushing Bride was ushered into the garden by her friend and wedding entertainer, Debie-Rise, where her Groom was waiting with his representatives, including his father Bally. She was asked if she recognised the Groom, who was visibly smiling from ear to ear, and she said yes. “His name is Efe and he is the love of my life,” she said.

The MC, Bassey informed the Bride that her parents had accepted the bride price, with her father adding that it was up to her to accept or decline. “The final decision is in the hands of the beautiful princess,” he said. The Bride accepted, marking this the end of the talks betweeen the two families and the start of the celebrations.

The Housemates prepared all week for the wedding, from planning the menu to creating a script and most of them felt upbeat about their performance during their joint Diary Sessions. We can only but wait and see how Biggie feels about their presentation at the end of the day.




“First time in the Big Brother House, we brought characteristics of all the different states into one wedding. I think we’ve broken a record!”

This was how the traditional engagement MC, Bassey described the ceremony during his joint Diary Session with the Groom’s father, Bally.

Biggie called the Bride and Groom, Marvis and Efe first into the Diary Room after the traditional engagement and asked them to rate their performance, to which they both responded positively.


“It must have been a real dress rehearsal for future and it sounds like you were both in your ‘home turf’. Should we expect something from the two of you outside of the House,” teased Biggie. They responded with laughter, with Marvis adding that, “We’ll keep you guessing Biggie,” as she giggled.

She further said the engagement was far beyond her expectations, adding that the Bride’s parents, Bisola and ThinTallTony stole the show with their performance.

The Bride’s friend TBoss agreed that their performance as a group was exceedingly good. “For a moment, I forgot it was make-believe. There were moments where I teared up a bit. The negotiations went well and I’ve actually never witnessed traditional wedding negotiations,” she said.

All the other Housemates agreed to a good performance by the group, adding that they looked forward to the wedding reception later. We can only wait to hear what Biggie has to say about their overall performance after the wedding reception.
