November 6, (THEWILL) – Okonjo-Iweala was upbeat over the weekend when her first son, Dr Uzodinma Iweala, tied the knot with his German lover, Lotte Elsa.
The very simple ceremony was held in Heidelberg, Germany.
Okonjo-Iweala, the director general of the World Trade Organisation, in a video that surfaced, was seen showing off her dance moves at the wedding ceremony to an array of Nigerian music with her new daughter-in-law.
Aunt to the groom, Njide Udochi, shared videos from the ceremony on her Facebook page on Sunday.
She partly wrote, “As Nigerians and Ndigbo, there is no marriage unless we as a community celebrate our traditional marriage rites, Igba Nkwu Nwanyi. So, in Heidelberg, Germany, we married our wife.
“It takes a village, and Uzo and Lotte had their village there to honour and celebrate them. Another day of #celebratinglove #HonoringTraditions #celebratingcommunity
“So grateful to all our extended family and friends who came from all over the world to honour our family and tradition today.
“Congratulations to the entire Iweala family and Ndi Umuda Isingwu. Congratulations to the Goos family of Heidelberg, Germany.
“To our newest couple, Uzodinma Iweala and Lotte Elsa. May you continue to find true happiness in each other. Love you both!”
