Newly wedded 47-year-old actress Rita Dominic who is presently on honeymoon with her husband, Fidelis Anosike, has recounted how the Dubai UAE visa ban almost ruined all her wedding plans.
Sharing what God did for her, she wrote on Instagram:
“Thank God for a beautiful weekend full of love and joy. Thank you to @michael5inco for making my dream wedding gown.
It was a lot of hard work and patience since we were in two different countries.
The UAE ban almost ruined it all, but designer @michael_nardi_, who you see in this video, came to the rescue by going and above and beyond to make the necessary alterations and final fittings.
So huge hugs to both.
Thank you to my dream team who worked hard to get me looking good in this gown. Love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
