Marriage is one of the cardinal tenets of Christianity, which must be accorded the fullest respect by the couple, hence the beautiful smile on their faces as they took turn to appear before their guests with their colourful and unique african attire to the admiration of all.

In their separate responses, the parents of the bride and groom advised the couple to always live in peace, love, togetherness and above all, they should be tolerant of each other at all times.

The marriage was held with strict compliance to the protocols of COVID-19; the use of face mask and hand sanitization of all guests into the venue.
