"Wow, he’s absolutely stunning! Congratulations on the safe arrival of your lovely baby boy. I adore his name; it’s really beautiful!"
Kazz, a marketing manager and ex-singer, first encountered Oritsé in 2019 when they crossed paths on social media.

Oritsé once shared: "When we eloped, just the two of us in Jamaica, it was one of the most enchanting experiences of my life. To be honest, I would have tied the knot with you anywhere, because the real magic comes from you."
As I saw you stroll down the pier, with the beautiful Caribbean Sea in the background, bathed in the vibrant light of the golden hour, I found it hard to stay composed. You looked absolutely incredible in your champagne dress. From the moment you said YES, I felt truly fortunate—like the luckiest man in the world.
The couple, who referred to their wedding as a fairytale, pledged their love in front of five of their dearest friends at the charming Zoëtry hotel in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
