TikTok stars Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, known as Jarvis, officially tied the knot in a vibrant traditional wedding ceremony in Lekki, Lagos. The popular content creators, who had been eagerly anticipating their big day, exchanged traditional marriage rites surrounded by family, friends, and numerous celebrities.

Sharing moments from the ceremony on Instagram, the newlyweds showcased their traditional Benin attire and reflected on the start of their married life. "Today, we become one. Two tribes, one love. Two families, one forever. A new chapter begins, and forever starts now," they posted jointly. This union follows a series of public celebrations, including Peller's proposal to Jarvis during an intimate beachside ceremony in Ghana earlier in the year. Jarvis accepted the proposal in an emotional moment that quickly gained traction on social media.

Following the proposal, Peller officially paid Jarvis' bride price at a traditional introduction ceremony in her hometown of Benin City. The couple later announced their wedding date as August 1, 2026. Prior to the traditional ceremony, they legally formalized their union in a court wedding attended by close friends, family, and media personality Daddy Freeze. During the civil ceremony, Peller humorously reacted to the registrar's explanation of bigamy as a criminal offense.

Peller also disclosed his intention to honeymoon in eight different countries, adding another layer of excitement to their post-nuptial plans. The content creator had previously undergone private traditional pre-marriage counseling in Ikorodu to prepare for his role as a husband.

Today, we become one. Two tribes, one love. Two families, one forever. A new chapter begins, and forever starts now.
