Speaking in an Interview, Nicolette stated:
The movie, on different grounds, is my way of fostering cultural cohesion through art and letting the world know that we are all more alike than we are different. She further stated that it is going to be one that every age and culture will enjoy, as well as showcase the beauty of a proper Nigerian wedding.
The story focuses on the bringing together of two different families, the Fregenes and Ojeligbos, as they send off their daughter, Aurora, to her new family. The film explores the themes of love, sacrifices, and Family relationships.
Directed by Mildred Okwo, and co-written by Ink and Joy Oyediya, the family drama stars both veteran and young actors from Nigeria, USA, Ghana and India.

There aren’t many directors like her who would understand the kind of story I wanted to tell and bring the nuanced traditional African heart of it to life.
