Sheinelle Jones' Nigerian wedding fun
In a recent Instagram post, Jones donned a Nigerian look as she spent her leave from ‘Today’ to attend Uche’s cousin's wedding. She looked sparkling in light makeup and a huge blue gele which is a traditional symbol in Nigerian culture to represent a woman’s marital status. She captioned the post, “Day one of two days of marriage ceremonies for my husband's cousin … I spent my whole day getting the kids ready … and had minutes left for myself. I’ve been traveling so much lately I just found spare makeup and lashes in my bag … good times."
It seems Jones was pretty tied with her duties at the morning show and getting ready for the big wedding. In another post, she posted a short clip highlighting the insights from the wedding ceremony with the caption, “A night with beautiful families. We landed to day one - of two traditional wedding ceremonies. I love seeing how everyone designs their native wear! ❤️ #nigerianwedding #naijafashionista #naijaweddings."
Jones posted another snap of herself on day two of the wedding as she stunned in light blue gele with carved texture. She captioned the post, “Headed to church for day two of a traditional Nigerian wedding ceremony 💚 (I should’ve videotaped the woman who tied my gele on my head … it was a huge piece of fabric! She’s talented for sure."
