"Their fashion-forward two-day wedding began with a vibrant Nigerian celebration decorated in shades of pink, orange, and red, followed by an American wedding with green-and-white decor that Joanna describes as romantic and timeless. Their weekend wardrobes, they say, were a highlight. Stephen wore a custom jacket and then a semi-bespoke tuxedo from a fifth-generation Savile Row tailor. Joanna had five looks: On Saturday, a short isi agu dress, then a long, embellished green George-lace gown."
"Joanna, an attorney from Nigeria by way of Texas, and Stephen, an engineer from Arkansas, were teammates on their college track team. Joanna thought he was kind of a goofy guy; Stephen saw her as quiet, mysterious, and way cooler than him. By senior year, though, something clicked. They dated for eight years while Joanna finished graduate school, then law school. Eventually, Stephen proposed in the National Mall's Mary Livingston Ripley Garden."
