"This is what I want to see. White dresses are so expensive if they would be this beautiful. Boring cliche most times. Ankara is so beautiful, I wish we could do more of these. It's so nice on her."
@MikeIkenwa said:
"I thought it's called white wedding because she wears white gown, or because it was introduced by the white, I don't get where the white came in this wedding."
