Rita Dominic reveals how UAE ban almost ruined wedding plans
The newly married Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic, has explained how the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) visa ban almost deprived her of her wedding dress.
The thespian married Fidelis Anosike in a star-studded white wedding in Yorkshire, the United Kingdom, last Saturday.
In a post on her Instagram page on Tuesday, the 47-year-old recalled how the UAE ban nearly ruined the wedding, but her designer, Michael Nardi, went the extra mile and ensured the event was a success.
The UAE authorities in October suspended the issuance of visa to Nigerians and citizens of 19 other countries.
Dominic wrote:
“Thank God for a beautiful weekend full of love and joy. Thank you to @micheal5inco for making my dream wedding gown.
