Over the weekend, Rita Dominic and her husband, Daily Times publisher Fidelis Anosike, exchanged vows in a white wedding ceremony in England. Newly-wedded Rita Dominic, a Nollywood actress, has spoken out about how the United Arab Emirates (UAE) visa ban nearly cost her her wedding gown.
In a star-studded white wedding in Yorkshire, England, the Nollywood actress married her Fidelis Anosike this weekend. The 47-year-old actress recounts how the UAE ban nearly ruined her wedding, but her designer, Michael Nardi, went above and beyond to ensure the event was a success in a recent Instagram post aimed at showing her gratitude.
She wrote: “Thank God for a beautiful weekend full of love and joy. Thank you to @micheal5inco for making my dream wedding gown. It was a lot of hard work and patience since we were in two different countries. The UAE ban almost ruined it all but designer @micheal_nardi_ who you see in this video came to the rescue by going above and beyond to make the necessary alterations and final fittings. So huge hugs to both.”
She also thanked her “dream team” for their assistance in making her look stunning for the occasion.
“Thank you to my dream team who worked hard to get me looking good in this gown. Love you all from the bottom of my heart. “@thestudiobysbym @oluchionuigbo @lessandrasbeauty @bkuniquehair @kateokpo,” she wrote.
Recall that the UAE announced the suspension of visa issuance to Nigeria and 19 other countries a few weeks ago through its licensed travel agents in several countries.
