Social media influencer Simi Sanya and film producer Femi Dapson have taken the next big step in their love story by legally tying the knot in a court wedding held in Lagos. The announcement was confirmed on social media by Simi herself, who shared joyful photos and messages following the ceremony. 

The civil ceremony took place on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, marking the second of four planned celebrations for the couple’s wedding journey. According to posts and reactions online, the legal joining in Lagos was filled with emotion and personal style as both Simi and Femi looked radiant on the special day. 

Simi and Femi’s relationship first made waves when Femi famously surprised her with a Valentine’s Day display on billboards in Lekki, Lagos earlier this month. The grand romantic gesture drew praise as fans described it as thoughtful and heartfelt, with many saying it showed the intentional and affectionate nature of their bond. 

The couple’s wedding celebrations have been unfolding in multiple phases. Before the court wedding, they had a stylish introduction ceremony, which marked the beginning of their traditional and legal union plans. The court ceremony now officially seals their marriage under Nigerian law, with additional celebrations still expected to follow later in the year. 

Simi shared her delight on her social media page, captioning her wedding announcement with a message that delighted her followers: “Legally Hitched. Mr & Mrs Dapson To You Forever.” Her announcement has since received warm congratulations from fans, friends, and other influencers online. 

Reports from attendees and media blogs say Simi looked stunning in a structured white mini-dress with a delicate organza veil, while Femi opted for a tailored beige double-breasted suit that complemented her look. The fashion choices reflected a modern yet elegant approach to their civil ceremony. 

Their relationship has drawn public interest since Femi’s memorable proposal last year, which included a serenade by another artist and emotional celebration moments shared online. Over time, supporters have embraced their love story, celebrating both their romantic gestures and commitment to marking each milestone publicly. 

With their civil marriage now official, Simi and Femi have two more celebrations planned as part of their “#MeetTheDapsons26” wedding series. These are expected to include a traditional ceremony and a larger reception, giving family, friends and fans multiple opportunities to celebrate the couple’s union.

As messages of congratulations continue to pour in from across social media, the couple’s journey serves as a reminder of how modern celebrations can blend personal style, tradition, and digital storytelling.
