Nollywood actor Shawn Faqua and event planner Sharon Ifunanya Maduekwe have made history by tying the knot aboard a moving Lagos–Ibadan train, becoming the first couple in Nigeria to hold a wedding ceremony on a train.
The couple transformed the train’s coaches into a stunning wedding venue, with floral arrangements, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and officiating ministers who conducted the ceremony while the train was in motion.
In a post celebrating the landmark event, the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, commended the couple for their creativity and uniqueness.
“From lovebirds to locomotives, we’re keeping things on track. History made, the first-ever wedding on a moving train in Nigeria. Proof that the journey can be just as beautiful as the destination.”
Departing from the Alagomeji-Yaba Station in Lagos, the train carried the couple, their guests, and their love story across the tracks—both literally and symbolically.
Following their traditional wedding, the couple’s white ceremony broke every convention. As the train glided along its route, the carriage—lavishly decorated with flowers and filled with music—became the setting for their heartfelt exchange of vows, rings, and a kiss that sealed their union. Guests, including Nollywood star Stan Nze, applauded as history was made.
The visionary behind the event was the bride, Sharon, a professional event planner, whose creativity turned what could have been an ordinary ride into an extraordinary celebration—one that moved both hearts and wheels.
