Popular Nigerian content creators Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, known to millions as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly called Jarvis, officially began their married life on Saturday with a vibrant traditional wedding in Lekki, Lagos State.
The ceremony brought together family, friends, and a host of celebrities, marking the final step in a months-long love story that has played out largely in the public eye. Dressed in regal Benin traditional attire, the couple completed all rites before well-wishers and later shared photos on Instagram with a heartfelt message:
“Today, we become one. Two tribes, one love. Two families, one forever. A new chapter begins, and forever
The road to August 1 has been anything but quiet. Peller and Jarvis, both prominent TikTok and streaming personalities, first captured national attention in June when Peller proposed during a beachside ceremony at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Ghana. The video of the proposal went viral within hours, with fans praising the emotional moment and flooding the comments with congratulatory messages.
A week after the proposal, Peller traveled to Benin City for the traditional introduction, where he paid Jarvis’s bride price. Speaking at the event, he described it as “the beginning of our journey together” and thanked both families for their blessings.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, the couple kept fans engaged with behind-the-scenes content. They released clips from a wedding-themed video shoot that included playful moments, including a staged mock argument that had crew members in stitches. On Friday, they posted their final pre-wedding photos with a caption announcing they had stopped counting down because they were “starting forever.”
The legal side of their union was formalized two days earlier. On July 29, Peller and Jarvis held a court wedding attended by close relatives, friends, and media personality Daddy Freeze. The civil ceremony provided a few lighthearted moments as well. When the registrar explained that bigamy is a criminal offence punishable by at least five years in prison without the option of a fine, Peller’s reaction drew laughter from the room
Saturday’s traditional wedding was the cultural highlight. Held in Lekki, the event blended Benin customs with the couple’s contemporary influence. Guests arrived in elaborate aso-ebi and traditional fabrics, and the venue was filled with music, dancing, and prayers for the new couple.
Before the ceremony, Peller hinted at their plans for the future during a livestream, revealing that he intends to take Jarvis on a honeymoon across eight countries. The announcement was met with excitement from fans who have followed the pair’s relationship from its early days on TikTok to this major milestone.
For many young Nigerians, the union represents more than a celebrity wedding. Peller and Jarvis built their platforms separately before coming together online. Their relationship grew in the spotlight, with both creators often collaborating on skits, livestreams, and content that resonates with Gen Z audiences. Their decision to observe both civil and traditional rites also struck a chord, showing a blend of modern public life and respect for cultural heritage.
In interviews prior to the wedding, Peller spoke about personal growth and preparation for marriage. He disclosed that he attended private traditional pre-marriage counselling in Ikorodu to better understand his responsibilities as a husband and to learn how to support Jarvis.
“I want to be the kind of partner my wife deserves,” he said in one session. “Marriage is work, and I’m ready for
The wedding quickly trended under #jarpel2026 across X, Instagram, and TikTok. Clips from the ceremony, including the couple’s entrance and traditional dances, were shared by Vanguard and other media outlets, garnering millions of views within hours.
Several celebrities and fellow creators attended, while others sent messages online. The couple’s joint Instagram post received hundreds of thousands of likes and comments, with fans from Nigeria, Ghana, and across the diaspora celebrating what many called “a union of two tribes, one love.”
The phrase “two tribes” referenced their backgrounds and the cultural merging that the wedding symbolized. While specific tribal details were kept private by the families, the couple emphasized unity
With the traditional rites complete, Peller and Jarvis say they are focused on building their life together while continuing their work as digital creators. Both have indicated they will share more of their journey with fans, but also intend to protect certain aspects of their marriage from public scrutiny.
The couple has not announced a specific date for their international honeymoon, but Peller’s mention of eight countries has already sparked speculation online about possible destinations.
As they begin this new chapter, the message from the couple remains simple and direct. In their own words, “forever starts now.”
For fans who have watched them grow from individual creators to partners, the wedding marks the culmination of a very public love story — one that started with viral videos and ended, for now, with vows, tradition, and a celebration in Lagos
