A Nigerian couple has captured public attention by tying the knot aboard a moving train — a first-of-its-kind ceremony on the Lagos–Ibadan railway line.

 

Shawn Faqua, a Nollywood actor, and his bride, Sharon Ifunanya, an events planner, transformed one of the coaches into a stunning mobile wedding venue.

The unique ceremony, held on Saturday, has gone viral across social media platforms, with many Nigerians praising the couple’s creativity and unconventional approach to matrimony.
