We’ve seen JP2025, CHIVIDO 2025, #LoveUnitesUs2024 but none beats #BAAD2017. Their wedding went viral before couple content creation was a thing.
It’s March 2026, and X (formerly Twitter) is still obsessing over a wedding that happened in 2017. Every few weeks someone drops a throwback, and the timeline loses its mind with “no other Nigerian wedding has come close”.
And honestly? They’re not wrong. A week ago, an X user made a tweet saying, “No celebrity wedding has come close to Banky W and Adesua in my book. Those two literally flew people to South Africa and Dubai.” 
Then another user jumped in with the million-dollar question: “It’s been 9 years. Yet, fans still insist that the wedding of Banky W and Adesua is the biggest Nigerian celebrity wedding ever seen. Would you agree or disagree with this?

What Made #BAAD2017 the Undisputed Wedding Ceremony?
It wasn’t just one big day; it was a whole cinematic experience. Traditional ceremonies and court weddings in Lagos, then the main white wedding flown straight to Cape Town with Table Mountain as the ultimate backdrop.
For their traditional wedding, Adesua and Banky W changed outfits four times, very few celebrities have come close.
They didn’t just invite guests; everybody who was special to them at the time was in attendance. The photos? Timeless. Everyone was recreating Ebuka Obi Uchendu’s epic agbada.
Adesua’s gown with that epic train flowing down the steps, Banky looking sharp in his white suit, the all-white groomsmen squad and the bridemaids in black lined up like a Nollywood dream.
The couple’s chemistry could be felt by Nigerians through the screen.The wedding ceremony wasn’t flashy for flashiness’ sake. It was romantic, classy, deeply Nigerian at the core and elevated with destination elegance. Nigerians cannot easily forget their viral court kiss or the way they looked at each other during their vows.
Everybody felt the couple’s love. Nine years later and the magic hasn’t faded. Their marriage is still solid and blessed with two beautiful children.Weddings are personal, and everyone’s big day is special in its own way. But when a 2017 event is still making people talk and pray for something similar in 2026, it’s more than nostalgia.
Banky W and Adesua didn’t just throw a wedding; they dropped a cultural moment that set the bar so high celebrity weddings all still measuring against it.
So yeah, if you’re scrolling through X(formerly Twitter) and come across their wedding pictures and desire for something similar, just know you are not alone. Everybody agrees #BAAD2017 is still undefeated.
