Popular Nigerian content creators Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, widely known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata (also referred to as Elizabeth Aminata Amadou), popularly called Jarvis, held their white wedding (church ceremony) on Saturday, August 8, 2026.
The event was deliberately kept small and private, limited to roughly 80–100 invited guests—primarily close family, friends, and select industry colleagues—after the couple’s earlier traditional celebration drew overwhelming crowds, cameras, and related disruptions.
Peller had publicly announced the date and strict rules shortly after the traditional rites, stating he did not want bloggers or excessive cameras and noting that some people had bought aso-ebi mainly to record the previous event.
He also referenced security concerns, including reports of phones being snatched outside the earlier venue. Details of the exact church venue were not widely publicized in advance, consistent with the intimate framing.
The August 8 white wedding marked the culmination of a multi-stage process that played out prominently on social media under hashtags including #Jarpel and #JP2026. Key earlier milestones included:
- A romantic beachside proposal by Peller to Jarvis in early June 2026 at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra, Ghana.
- Traditional marriage rites and bride-price payment in Benin City, Edo State (Jarvis’s hometown), beginning in June, with further traditional celebrations (including a star-studded event often dated around August 1 in Lagos/Lekki) featuring rich cultural displays, coordinated traditional attire (deep reds, coral beads, and regal looks), live performances, and high-profile guests.
- A civil (court/registry) wedding in Lagos on July 29, 2026, where the couple formalized their legal union. They appeared in coordinated off-white looks styled by Emmanuel Goodnews Icon: Peller in a sharp single-breasted off-white suit with blue accents, and Jarvis in a floral-accented tweed mini dress with bolero jacket.
The traditional/Lagos celebration on or around August 1 drew major attention, with attendees including fellow content creators (such as Geh Geh, Nons Miraj, Papaya Ex, Cute Abiola, and others), musicians (including Fuji artists), Nollywood figures, socialites, and business personalities.
Standout moments included lavish gifts: real-estate entrepreneur King Ochacho (Mohamed Adah) announced a mansion in Abuja reportedly valued at ₦400 million, while Cubana Chief Priest presented ₦10 million (contributing to announced gifts totaling around ₦420 million in some reports).
The couple had also teased an elaborate honeymoon spanning multiple countries.
Peller and Jarvis rose to prominence through TikTok livestreams, comedy, and relationship-centered content, building massive followings with their on-screen chemistry.
Their relationship, which began online as collaborators/friends around 2023 before becoming romantic, faced public skepticism that it was primarily “content.” Both have spoken about personal motivations for marriage, including Peller’s desire to break a family pattern of unmarried parents.
Social media on August 8 featured reactions, clips, and moments from the white wedding, including emotional responses from the couple and lighthearted guest interactions, reflecting the continued public interest in their story even with the scaled-back guest list.
Peller’s hilarious vows moment added humour to the solemnity of the occasion. It was preceded with the moment he cried after Jarvis’s family member handed her over to him.
The full sequence—from proposal through traditional, civil, and now white wedding ceremonies—has made theirs one of the most followed influencer marriages in Nigeria in 2026.
The couple is now officially Mr. and Mrs. Hamzat, transitioning from viral online personalities to married life after months of highly visible preparations and celebrations.
