After months of social media teasing & promotions; the Wedding Party 2 will premiere on the 10th of December 2017. Mo Abudu, CEO of EbonyLife TV, made the announcement earlier today. The theme of the premiere is “Arabian Nights” and according to Mo, it is set to be the biggest premiere of 2017.
The Wedding Party2 is a sequel to the to 2016, highest grossing Nigerian film, the Wedding Party.
In the original film, notorious bachelor Dozie (Banky W) marries Dunni, a virgin (Adesua Etomi) until her wedding day. Against a chaotic and hilarious backdrop of family squabbles and damaging stag-night revelations, they finally say, “I do”.
In the sequel, Nonso (Enyina Nwigwe) has continued his romance with Deirdre, the bridesmaid from London. Somehow, Nonso manages to propose by accident, while on a dinner date, and sets off a chain of events too powerful to stop.
Deirdre’s upper-crust British family are against the match, as are some members of the Nigerian clan, but Deirdre’s determination can’t be contained. After a near-disastrous introduction ceremony in Lagos and Nigerian opposition to a London wedding, both families reluctantly agree to a wedding in Dubai, setting us off on another colourful, chaotic and memorable journey to everlasting love.
With the cast of the original film returning for another wedding, and the addition of Patience Ozorkwo & Chiwetalu Agu, the sequel to this promises to be even more colourful and twice as funny, with jaw-dropping scenes from one of the world’s favourite holiday destinations, Dubai.
