Groom's aunt, Njide Okonjo-Iweala, who shared photos from the ceremony, penned a short note to the couple, writing, "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.

"To our newest couple, Uzodinma Iweala and Lotte Elsa. May you continue to find true happiness in each other. Love you both."
