Five Biggest Moments From Bozoma Saint John’s Big Ghanaian Wedding
Bozoma Saint John is officially a married woman! On Friday (Aug.21), the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star and her now-husband, Keely Watson, exchanged vows in a traditional Ghanaian wedding in Accra. The reality star’s lavish ceremony quickly became one of the most talked-about events on our social media timelines, which is why we’re highlighting some of the biggest moments from the weekend.
After dating for three years, the couple announced their engagement in August 2025, with Keely proposing with an 8.43-carat diamond ring. According to Bravo, Saint John and Watson celebrated one of their two wedding ceremonies at the home of former Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo in front of hundreds of guests. The couple is also planning a “white” wedding ceremony in Los Angeles in November.
We knew the wedding was going to be a major event, and this couple did not disappoint. From the beautiful, bold prints of the traditional wedding to the influential guest list and the standout reception moments, Saint John and Watson’s ceremony celebrated Black love, culture, and, of course, fashion.
While many details from the ceremony have been kept under wraps, the reception gave social media plenty to talk about. Here are the biggest moments we saw from this stunning wedding weekend.

When it comes to looking good for her wedding, Saint John spared no expense. According to Instagram, she served multiple looks throughout the festivities, each showcasing intricate fabrics and details. After changing out of her original traditional wedding dress, she slipped into two custom dresses from her chosen designers. Her first was a brown corset dress with layered fringes by Estaz. Her second, a flirty, iridescent party dress by Mimmy Yeboah, featured embroidered roses that showed off her gorgeous legs. And for the after-party, she set it off in a multicolored beaded dress by Kenneth Tetteh.

The cast of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” really came through for our girl. Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Kathy Hilton, Sutton Stracke, and Jennifer Tilly all arrived dressed for the traditional occasion, fully embracing Ghanaian fashion. But their appearance made social media raise an eyebrow, with fans revisiting past moments that have called her cultural awareness into question. Fans still remember Hilton taking down her hair extensions during an event, a moment that Saint John quickly called out.
“This doesn’t sit right with me….” wrote one TikTok user in response to a post of the Housewives dressed in African attire.
The Guest List Was Packed With Black Star Power
The celebration drew a star-studded crowd, including Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage and media personality Luvvie, along with former Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo, former First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo and former Second Lady Samira Bawumia. Among the celebrities and dignitaries in attendance, social media couldn’t get enough of Yaya DaCosta, Yandy Smith and Quad Webb, who were seen wearing beautiful traditional dresses.
One X user posted, “Wait… who exactly are Boz and Keely? Almost every big name from Accra and Nigeria showed up at their wedding.”
Yaya DaCosta Was the Life of the Party
During the reception, cameras captured Yaya DaCosta turning up on the dance floor, and social media loved every moment of it. Creator Elsrich pointed out how much fun the actress and model had at the reception.
“No one had a better time at Boz’s wedding than Yaya DaCosta,” she said. We couldn’t agree more.
