Kiky Festus went to church “wearing church”. The dentist and fashion creator married doctor and menswear influencer Akin Faminu in a Veekee James gown beaded with cathedral windows and spires, the last of four wedding events their followers tracked as #HookedOnTheFaminus.
Dubai, then Paris
Akin Faminu is a medical doctor and a menswear creator, named to the BoF 500 class of 2026. Kiky Festus is a dentist and fashion creator. Akin asked her to be his girlfriend on 29 June 2022, during their first holiday together, in Dubai.
Three years later, in July 2025, he proposed under the Eiffel Tower, with a red carpet, roses and a violinist. “Forever begins here, in the city of love,” he wrote.
Four events
The families met at an introduction ceremony in December 2025. On 13 April 2026 the couple held their civil wedding in Lagos, Kiky in an ivory two-piece by Mazelle Bridal with a pillbox hat and birdcage veil, and Akin in a white Deji & Kola dinner jacket. “Signed, sealed, and forever,” Akin wrote.
Their traditional wedding followed in Lagos in September, opening on 5 September with Kiky in a gold Emagine By Bukola gown with ruby-red beadwork and coral, and Akin in brown velvet by Deji & Kola. For the white wedding, Veekee James translated church architecture into thousands of micro-beads on Kiky’s gown, and Akin wore a black Deji & Kola tailcoat.
A wedding made for fashion pages
With both partners working in fashion, every look was planned, styled by The Style Infidel and shared for their followers. WePostWeddings covered each event, from the civil wedding to the guest looks, linked below.
