Lady who isn’t a bride pays $1,500 for bridal consultation just to meet Veekee James

A lady based in the United States has gone viral after revealing that she paid $1,500 (over ₦2 million) for a bridal consultation with celebrity fashion designer Veekee James, even though she is not getting married.

The woman, identified by her TikTok handle @marivonsama1, shared in a video that she booked the exclusive session simply because she wanted the opportunity to meet Veekee James in person. She described the designer as her “biggest inspiration” and “style icon.”

Although she has been married for eight years, Marivon explained that she was not interested in the bridal aspect of the consultation. Instead, she just wanted to spend time with the award-winning designer she deeply admires.

The premium consultation, which is usually reserved for brides-to-be, reportedly includes personal styling advice, custom dress sketches, and direct access to Veekee James herself.

Her video quickly went viral and sparked mixed reactions across social media. Some users described her decision as “wild but admirable,” while others felt that the money could have been used for something more practical.

One user wrote, “It’s crazy but also kind of beautiful. When you love someone’s craft, you go all out.” Another commented, “Two million naira just to meet someone? That’s next-level madness.”

Whether seen as an act of admiration or extravagance, one thing remains clear: Veekee James continues to inspire deep loyalty and passion among her fans.
