It's a celebration of what the lord has done for us. 

The day i said "I do" to my best friend.

          The 2nd day of the month of October 2014 would forever be remembered by the world, well if not the whole world, by our own world. It's the day I took the step of faith with my "bestie". The day we took our vows and made an eternal commitment to loving each other till death do us part.

I picked my cousin and baby, sister-in-law, my barrister paddy and Mrs Opatola to be; straight we went to the registry.

Let's go there

         I don't know how people take such vows without praying and having days of solitude to think about the commitments they are about to make. For me it was different, palpitations, unprovoked sweating and blinking like a fish characterized my walk into that courtroom; this was blended with a deep sense of my creator's endorsement of this move.

Sealed, signed and delivered 

          We had dreams of having such a small wedding, straight to the matter and without the whole paraphernalia that accompanies the "owambe" weddings of the present day Nigerian society. This was a dream come true for us. The edge had been taken off, the best that Owambe can put on us now is a marriage thanksgiving and reception. whew! Happy us. Anyways, we exchanged our vows before God and man. A Chinese reception followed, the marital journey has continued till this day.

NB: Church Blessing/ thanksgiving and reception comes up Feb 7th 2015

"A good marriage is a union of two souls seeking the good of each other, bound by God"
