Rising stars, Mimi Orjiekwe and Charles Billion, who got engaged three years ago are now husband and wife. But what was not in the news is that prior to their marriage, Charles had to let his long dreads out for the sake of the love of his life.

The couple who got engaged on July 18, 2013 while on vacation in Tanzania, did their traditional marriage rites recently in the bride’s home town, at Umuelem Village, Ichieke Achi, Udi in Oji River Local Government of Enugu State.

The groom and his people came all the way from Okuta-Ebelle Local Government, in Edo State to take their Igbo bride home.

Mike Ezuruonye, Ruth Kadiri, Wisdom Macaulay, Chigozie Atuanya, Uche Ogbodo, Anita Joseph among other Nollywood stars were at the occasion to support the lovely couple.
