A Very Bollywood Style Wedding Ceremony For Former Miss Ghana Shaida Buari

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Who: Shaida Abiodun Buari & Olukunle Olusola Nubi

What: Traditional Wedding Ceremony (Bollywood Style)

When: Saturday March 5th 2011

Where: Accra, Ghana

South-East Asia meets West Africa. Certainly a very lovely looking couple and ceremony. I love the wedding theme and the color contrasts of white and gold looked simply stunning on the bride. It definitely was a bummer that her older sister, actress Nadia Buari could not attend. She is currently away on location somewhere in the United States shooting scenes for her next film, according to an official statement released by their father Alhaji Sidiku Buari.
