Ekene Umenwa, the Nigerian screen sensation, was positively beaming from ear to ear as she and her longtime partner, Alex Kleanson, the head honcho of Firstnollytv, exchanged vows in a traditional ceremony.

The actress, who recently revealed her engagement to the filmmaker, surprised us with some extended reels from her traditional wedding festival in her hometown of Anambra State.

In the video, Ekene and Kleanson were dressed in their best traditional attire for their big day, surrounded by a sea of friends and relatives.

As the pair dived into the subtleties of Igbo rituals hand in hand, hit the dance floor with guests, and swung in sync with their loved ones, she had a smile as wide as the Mississippi.
