The world is stunned by this magnificent wedding ceremony.

Tanzanian singer Juma Jux is trending thanks to his white wedding.

Jux has set the bar high after marrying his Nigerian partner, Priscillah Ojo.

Many might be wondering how the two met.

Priscillah revealed they met in Rwanda.

“We met on a business trip in Rwanda, he saw me first in business class, and we saw again at the hotel. He gave me his number that I should text him but I didn’t. But then he found his way around and we started talking”.

Jux added that despite his wife playing hard to get, he was determined to win her over.

“She took my number, and I told her to text me, but she did not. When we met again, I texted her, but she did not reply. "

What did he like about her?

"In East Africa, I have fans, and people recognize me, but when she was around, it was just the two of us.

I did not care about anything else because I was on a mission. I had always been mindful of my brand, but none mattered with her. As we continued meeting, I realized she was the woman I had been waiting for. God brought everything together in His perfect timing.”

With the heartbreak, many did not think Jux would bounce back any time soon.

But here we are, we love this for him. Congratulations to the newest couple in town.

In a past interview Jux said he was happy his ex had found love.

“I am happy she found love in Rotimi. I was waiting for the day she would be happy. You know when it comes to love, one person moves on after a breakup and one remains, and so when I saw she has moved on, in all honesty, I was happy,” he said.

Juma Mussa Mkambala born 1 September 1989, known professionally by his stage name Jux, is a Tanzanian singer and songwriter. His music is a blend of RnB, Bongo Flava, and Afrobeats and his songs include "Enjoy", "NitasubirI", "Fashion Killer", "Sugua", "Juu", and "Nidhibiti". Jux has collaborated with African musicians, among them, Diamond Platnumz, Vanessa Mdee, Joh Makini, Zuchu, Gyakie, Bien, and Marioo.

Jux's interest in music began when he started to rap at the age of 16 to his friends and colleagues.

Jux also has an interest in fashion, and established his brand in 2018, for which he curates and designs. The brand is widely available across East Africa, in part due to a production deal he signed in 2019. He later announced that he would be expanding his brand into Kenya over the course of the coming year.
