First Photos from Nollywood Superstar Stephanie Okereke’s Wedding to Media Entrepreneur Linus Idahosa in France
Posted on Saturday, April 21st, 2012 at 7:00 PMBy BellaNaija.com
Nollywood superstar Stephanie Okereke is now Mrs Idahosa! Stephanie and her beau PR/Media Executive Linus Idahosa exchanged vows just a few minutes ago in France in the presence of 400 family and friends including Nollywood stars Genevieve Nnaji, Ini Edo, Uche Jombo, Richard Mofe Damijo and Monalisa Chinda.
The couple got engaged in 2010 when Linus proposed on Stephanie’s birthday.
Stephanie and Linus decided to celebrate their fairytale day on the 21st of April 2012 in grand style and have planned the nuptials for over a year.
The bride chose a princess look for her big day as she wore a dramatic strapless ballgown with an asymmetric neckline and cathedral length veil paired with a lace veil and bejewelled belt. Stephanie’s dress is the “Euterpe” dress from Lebanese Couture Master Elie Saab’s Elie by Elie Saab Line for Pronovias.
Congrats Steph and Linus.

http://www.lailaikeji.com
U just misyarned shey u know.
Was there any need of adding that, if you thought about it you should have kept it to yourself. Rubbish.
Why did Bella NAIja allow such mean comment is the question we shuld ask.
If you don’t know what happened in the marriage why not keep quiet..
I see you think you can make money talking crap. You jam rock
take a chill pill dear….dont advise her…errrm ok?
she will definitely not do so
Well done Bellanaija – definately an exclusive!
Guys…I’m currently at the wedding. The venue is a French Chateau…nollyood is well represented, Ini..tycoons of the oil industry are here… Stephanie is so lucky
Loving the dress already! Stephanie is breathtaking. Congrats . So very happy for you
Congrats!

Congrat Steph i wish u the best may God bless ur new home.
Congrat steph, all the best
In Paris!! My dream wedding…Love everything french! Congratulations to you Steph! Wish you happiness and joy
Awoooooo,money sweet oooooo
Congrats Step
Up BN! Congrats Stephanie, love the dramatic bustline of your dress.
stephanie looks really nice!! the guy shld chill on the white suit :0
why not 9ja steph???? explain why steph any way congrats
Explain ke? Are you for real? Her own wedding again,she should explain why she chose Paris?..she owes No one an explanation.
Gtfoh….explain her own wedding to you? Lmao unthinkable
That’s why it’s a destination wedding my dear. In addition to d fact that she owes no one an explanation, anyone can choose to have their wedding anywhere in the world they so desire. Even Americans go outside of the US for their wedding.
Laila who said she effed up d marriage? Did u not hear dt he was abusing her? And to think u’re a woman. Mtchew
Wow! all d way in france… am jelous o! wish dem HML
Come oh, bella! U tiff dis picture from my dP???? Lol!
Steph has killed it. Chaiiiiii. I’ve seen a pic of the venue. Now I know why it had to be there. And sources tell me a high powered delegation is present, including the CinC.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING……THE ELIE SAAB EUTERPE DRESS IS VERY BEAUTIFUL (when you’re planning your wedding you recognise dresses so quickly LOL)
clap for yourself. You have achieved.
looooooooool
No dear that is not the Elie Saab Euterpe dress, it is a very good copy, this is the real deal, if you look closely then you will see what I mean, I am not knocking the dress in any way tho………. http://www.onewed.com/photos/show/euterpe-wedding-dress-one-shoulder-bridal-gown-elie-saab. HML to the couple.
Steph’s dress is definitely the real deal.
Nawa for you o..so from pictures that are not very clear you can tell a dress is a copy?!…or because she added an embellished belt?!..Puleese sit down!..na real not knocking the dress down indeed..hmmph
Yup! Definitely the real deal honey!! Look closer!
Miss I-know-real-from-fake…. u’re clearly blind or dumb…. if u know anything about Elie Saab for Pronovias collections, u would know that brides are allowed to pick dresses and have minor adjustments added/removed if they wish….. the main structure is retained but sumthn like d waist detail which is d only difference btw Steph’s dress n d plain design is easily added on for an extra charge…. I should know I just helped a friend pick out 3 of them for her tripple wedding delight, and 2 of dem will be altered to include things she likes, so wen u see her pic somewhere, someday u can say it is a ‘very good copy’….Olodo! b4 u talk next time think well or sharraaappp!
Think its the real deal dear. Watching “say yes to the dress” shows that alterations can be made to dresses.
IKR? (I know right?) I’m planning my wedding too and I recognised it as soon as I saw it! Miss t you definitely have class
Have you picked a gown yet? I’m looking at Zuhair Murad and Romona Keveza….. Pnina Tornai, Maggie Sotero… Oh gosh!! Soooo confused! HELP!! LOL!!
Awwww, thank you. You’ve been looking in the right places. I’ve also been looking at Aire Barcelona too. I want to wear a really nice Zuhair Murad dress for the evening but there’s so many beautiful ones. Stephanie’s dress is just amazing…..(but I can’t wear that in my church lol)
I lik ur style

she deserves a second change at love…been waiting for the pictures …the dress is hot, wow! Bella you did it fast, thanks for uploading.
Steph what is all this now should I call this stupidity? Now the wedding is over so put your wedding gown, suits/shoes of your man in a Ghana must go bag with your guest and come back to you country Nigeria with air France tomorrow because 400 of you all are not residence of France OK we are waiting down here 9ja to say congrats to U and Ur Man I know U must come back Ur fans love and U love them too and need them too.
LOL are you okay this man? smh at you
FOR SOMEONE WHOSE NAME IS SAMUEL, U LACK WISDOM — ERHAPS THEY WENT TO FRANCE FOR PRIVACY, SO THAT PEASANTS LIKE U DONT CRASH THE WEDDING…
IT MAY ALSO BE THAT THEY MET IN FRANCE, AND WANTED TO CELEBRATE THE UNION THERE….
ARE YOU SURE YOUR NAME IS NOT BOKOHARAM? U SEEM A BIT DAFT
She beat Mercy hands down…see class!!!Dats wat am talking abt…I love her wedding gown…almost like d one I used during mine…wish dem HML…can’t wait τ̅☺ see d rest of d pics…thank BN. U̶̲̥̅̊ guys r d best!
Every detail of Stephanie’s wedding looks fabulous. Wishing her and Linus a happy married life filled with love, joy and peace.
Mercy’s wedding was lovely too hun. A wedding is not a contest, competition or race and there’s no need to win, hands down or otherwise — the only real ‘prize’ any bride needs is the love and commitment of her groom #LoveConquersAll
http://www.emblemofbeauty.blogspot.com/
bukioni ,u just said d truth.don’t mind those tatafos. what u wish others is what cums to u.
Thanks BukiOni, you speak The true word. Let us wish them both the best instead of comparing them!
She beat Mercy but they have one thing in common – first fool nobi fool, second fool na proper foolish. Marriage is beyound rushing to france to talk of class I hope they are not acting. let’s pray for them. The female artists are not behaving well when it comes to marriage. From stephane to Mercy,Eucharia Anunobi, Njemanze, Henshaw, Monolisa, name them, marriage needs patience, endurance, tolerance and ZERO INFIDELITY. God bless you and your husband.
So wait are you trying to say that all those ladies you just mentioned did not try to make their marriage work? What makes you think the husbands were not the problem.you have no clue what goes on in people’s marriages so don’t judge. It’s convienent for your to blame the ladies cos they are the ones in the public eye.
Yes a long lasting marriage is what matters after all said and done,but that does not stop anyone from having a dream wedding even if it’s in Jupiter as long as they can afford it.
you make me laugh in french……if u are already married lets hear how beautiful ur marriage is and if u are not yet i pray u experience what they go thru so u will come back and tell us how u applied all this qualities……
wetin concern mercy johnson again for here haba

Happy Married life Stephanie
Gosh! She totally made Mercy Johnson’s wedding look like a small rehearsal! Pure class right here I tell you!! MONEY TALKS!
y r pple comparing Steph’s wedding to dat of Mercy.dere is no basis of comparison cos dey were done in different countries.wedding done in France and Lagos cant b compared togeda.if u must compare Mercy’s wedding u can use dat of Aki since dey were both done in Lagos. Happy married life Steph wishing u all d blessings dat comes wit marriage.
very elegant in deed
Absolument magnifique!!! Toutes mes félicitations!!! Stephanie looks absolutely ravishing!
this is really nice, though the pics in linda’s page were more and clearer. i must commend both bloggers for leading the way in breaking news

Wishing the couple a happy life 2geda. May their marriage last 4eva. Ellie saab n destination wedding on my mind.
Classy Classy…………Wow abeg u guys should take it easy with the comparison before mercy Johnson goes 4 return match wedding…..Lovely wedding wish u all d best in this marriage
A lady who has worked very hard deserve to enjoy her wedding in her own way, be it moon, as long as you can afford it, please be happy, she deserve to spoil herself naaa, life is travel but once in a life time……and Mr linus isnt complaining either, at least they are not politicians that steals to celebrate birthdays etc………..HML to the couple, your marriage shall be a blessing and ur children surround ur table, u shall see ur children children, not my word oh, na baba God say so>>> BEST WISHES DEAR, I wonder the comparison doh, people!!!!!!!!!!
Wndful Godbless ur union & kip u 2geda
HML.
Congrats, welcum to the marriage world. My question is WILL THIS BE TILL DEATH DO THEM PART??????????????
@Gbebs above….You say the dress is a copy??? Stop hating! It is not! its the real dress and stop all this stupid talks… She only put that silevr thing over the waist, and thats whats different. Open ur link again and out stephs pic side by side. The ladies have different body structures, so how will u even know for sure that its a copy. U sef, is the picture even clear enough for you to know if the dress is real or not. Shey na dat one dey do u now?? People y cant u be nyce and just appreciate good things. And even if its a copy, do u need to say it here. Which one u sef fit buy???? Arrrghhhhh! this is so annoying. For cryn out loud! So u tell me they can’t afford an Elle Saab dress? Ahn Ahn! Nigerians sha! May God save una. Abeg Stephanie, fab! Enjoy ur marriage ojare, may the good Lord keep guard ur union. x
This marraige must work in Jesus name, the devil has so much attacked the marraige institution that am beginning to think some thing is amiss some where. They are so lovely, this is a big event for so many people, that they have chosen to wed in Paris is their fairy tale come true, they both work very hard and I am a firm believer that there is no harm in playing as hard as you work. These two have found each other and it is the second time around for Steph, I wish them all the best, this is so romantic and am sure they had a fabulous time. BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO MR AND MRS IDAHOSA, THIS IS SO CLASSY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephanie ! You nailed the day with your smile. Happy Married Life!
beautiful…HML sexydiva
comments oooo….naijaaaaaaaaaaa…..HML steph!!!
All dose comparing Step’s n Mercy’s weddin should relax abeg.dere is no basis for comparison cos dey were done in different countries.if u must compare mercy’s wedding use dat of Aki cos dey r both nollywood stars nd dir weddings took place in lagos.HML steph wishing u all d blessings dat comes wit marriage.
