General Questions

The basics you need to know

When and where are the weddings?

We're celebrating twice! The Traditional Wedding Weekend in Lagos is December 18, 2026, with the main celebration on December 18, 2026. Private schedule details appear only for approved households in the Guest Portal. The White Wedding will take place in Houston, Texas on May 29, 2027.

Visit our Celebrations page for dates and locations. Use your guest portal link to unlock venue and schedule details.

Do I need to attend both ceremonies?

Not at all! We completely understand that geography and schedules make it challenging. Please attend whichever celebration(s) work for you. When you RSVP, simply let us know which event(s) you plan to join.

Can I bring a plus-one?

Please bring an additional guest only if they are included in your invitation for that event. Check RSVP & Guests in your Guest Portal for your invited party and event limits. If someone is missing or you are unsure, ask the wedding team before making plans.

Are children welcome?

For Lagos, children may attend only if they are included in your household’s invitation for that event. The Houston wedding is adults-only. Check each event in RSVP & Guests in your Guest Portal, and ask the wedding team if anything is unclear before arranging travel or childcare.

Lagos Traditional

December 18, 2026 / Nigeria

What is aso-ebi and do I need to wear it?

Aso-ebi is the traditional matching fabric worn by family and friends at Nigerian celebrations. If you're close family or in the bridal party, you'll receive aso-ebi information separately.

For other guests, aso-ebi is not required. You're welcome to wear traditional Nigerian attire (Igbo isiagu, Yoruba agbada/buba, etc.) or formal cultural dress. Detailed dress guidance is shared with confirmed guests in the guest portal.

What's the dress code?

Traditional Nigerian attire is encouraged! Full dress code details, color palette, and aso-ebi information are shared with confirmed guests in the guest portal.

Is Lagos safe for international guests?

Yes! Lagos is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city. We're hosting the wedding in a secure venue with professional security. Detailed transportation, safety tips, and local contacts are shared with confirmed guests in the guest portal closer to the date.

How do I get around Lagos?

Compare app rides or transport arranged with your hotel, and confirm pickup details and costs. Allow for traffic to the venue on your invitation. You can request help through the secure guest portal; a request does not confirm a shuttle or pickup.

Travel Help & Visa Prep

Prepared answers first, live checks only when needed

Is there travel help before my final RSVP?

Yes. Invited Lagos households can use Travel Help from the Guest Portal before the final RSVP. It answers from prepared wedding guidance first, asks before checking the latest travel details, and can send your question to the wedding team by email or WhatsApp when you need a person.

What does the concierge cover?

It covers airport and immigration flow, visa timing and documents, weather and packing, money and tipping, phones/data and power, health/pharmacy and safety, culture/etiquette and gifting, plus wedding-weekend logistics.

Do I need a Nigerian visa?

Many non-Nigerian and non-ECOWAS travelers need a Nigerian visa or approved entry authorization before travel. Start early, keep your passport valid for at least six months beyond travel, and check the official Nigeria Immigration Service or your nearest Nigerian embassy/consulate for your nationality. Confirmed guests can use the concierge entry checker and request an invitation letter through the portal or [email protected].

What should I prepare before booking Lagos travel?

Confirm your passport validity, check visa timing, plan arrival through LOS airport, save wedding-weekend dates, budget for card plus cash use, arrange mobile data or roaming, bring needed prescriptions, and leave extra travel time for Lagos traffic.

Houston White Wedding

May 29, 2027 / Texas

What's the dress code for Houston?

The dress code hasn't been finalized yet. Full details, color palette, and specific guidance will be shared with confirmed guests once decided in the guest portal.

Where should I stay?

Choose lodging around the venue on your invitation and your actual travel dates. No reserved room block or group rate is confirmed here. Check the guest portal for any published hotel offer, and confirm availability and booking terms directly with the hotel.

Will there be parking?

Check your invitation and guest portal for confirmed parking and transport guidance. Parking, valet, and shuttle arrangements are not confirmed here. Ask for help through the guest portal if needed; a request is not a confirmed ride.

What time should I arrive?

Follow the arrival time on your invitation or confirmed guest-portal schedule. Allow for your journey, parking, and entry, and check the latest guest details before setting off.

RSVP & Logistics

Planning your attendance

When do I need to RSVP?

Already invited? Open RSVP & Guests in your Guest Portal to respond for each named guest at each invited event.

RSVP deadlines for Lagos and Houston are not published here yet. Follow any deadline on your invitation; if none is given, ask the wedding team.

Not yet invited? Request an invitation. A request does not confirm your place.

Can I change my RSVP after submitting?

Yes! Life happens and plans change. Open RSVP & Guests in your Guest Portal to update your RSVP, or email [email protected] if you need help.

What about dietary restrictions?

We want everyone to enjoy the meal! Please note any dietary restrictions, allergies, or preferences on your RSVP form and we'll work with our caterers to accommodate you.

Will the ceremonies be photographed?

Yes! We'll have professional photographers and videographers at both events. We kindly ask that you enjoy the ceremony unplugged - put away phones and cameras during the ceremony itself. You'll have plenty of opportunities for photos at the reception!

Registry & Gifts

Where are you registered?

Your presence is the greatest gift! If you'd like to celebrate with a gift, you can find our registry and preferences on our Registry page.

Do you prefer cash gifts or physical gifts?

A gift is never expected. If you would like to give, cash gifts are our preference as we set up home between two countries, and you can also choose something from our Amazon wish list. Everything is on our Registry page.
