If you are active on any social media platform, you’ve likely encountered numerous posts featuring the union of MBGN World 2017 and Miss Universe Nigeria 2023, Mitchel Ihezue, and the Chairman/CEO of SNECOU Group Limited, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu.
We couldn’t help but be captivated by Mitchel’s wedding dresses, especially the first one that went viral. It was a breath of fresh air – so simple yet incredibly striking. You know how weddings around these parts tend to be all about extravagant dresses, so this one stood out. The dress had sheer sleeves, beautiful floral applique strategically placed, and a court train that added to its charm. It was a perfect blend of simplicity and elegance that caught our eye.
The second dress was a departure from the first, and it’s safe to say it brought a different kind of charm. This one sported an open, halter neck design with intricate beading adorning the entire dress. What caught our attention was the strategically placed sheer train gracefully cascading from her waist down, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the ensemble. Each detail seemed to contribute to a unique and unforgettable bridal look.
Not just her dresses, but people couldn’t help but appreciate how effortlessly beautiful Mitchel Ihezue looked with her makeup and hair. She chose a “less is more” vibe, going for a simple low bun that added a touch of grace. Her makeup followed suit with a soft glam look, and what added a perfect hint of sophistication were the white pearl bead earrings and a double-layer bead necklace. It was the kind of understated elegance that made her entire bridal look simply timeless and drew everyone’s attention.

Literally. </p><p>Earlier this spring, the team debuted their first-ever six-foot pizza — made with dough fermented over two days and cooked using a custom-built pizza peel. While he was a little nervous about executing the massive rectangular pie (and keeping it in one piece), he couldn't be more pleased with the result. </p><p>"It was like it was meant to be," Sarkis said.

The menu currently features six staple sandwiches, with more on the way. </p><p>Fan favourites include the Parma (prosciutto and fig), Bologna (mortadella with pistachio cream and crumble), and Romana (grilled veggies with rosemary porchetta and balsamic reduction). With dessert and coffee also on the menu, La Scacciata recently introduced housemade pasta and plans to extend its hours this summer with a new terrasse.</p><p>One thing Sarkis says customers can always expect is the personal touch.
