Maro Itoje, the British and Irish Lions captain, recently celebrated his marriage with a spectacular wedding party alongside his model wife, Mimi. Held at the Devere Grand Connaught Rooms in London, the event was a glamorous affair featuring a host of rugby stars and friends. After their wedding back in May and a victorious Lions tour in Australia, Maro and Mimi kept the celebrations alive over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The couple, who reportedly met during a photo shoot and got engaged while holidaying in Ghana and Nigeria, embraced Maro’s Nigerian heritage with a traditional dress code that added a vibrant touch to the festivities. Many of Maro’s Saracens team-mates attended, including Elliot Daly and Jamie George, providing a joyful rugby reunion and lively atmosphere. Even England star Maro couldn’t resist striking a pose in a pair of shades throughout the evening!
Mimi stunned in traditional attire, and both the bride and groom were seen dancing and enjoying the joyous occasion. Maro shared on Instagram, “In case you haven’t realised I had my traditional Nigerian wedding last weekend… A time was had.”
It was an unforgettable celebration filled with colour, culture, and camaraderie, truly embodying the spirit of love and union. Keep scrolling for some dazzling snaps of the happy couple and their star-studded guests! 🌟💑🎉
