The grand finale of the event on Saturday, November 18, 2023, was electrifying shortly after the church wedding at Gospel Faith Mission International Miracle Assembly, off Housing Road, Oke Ila, Ado Ekiti, where the newest couple concretised their marital vows.

In quick succession, Pastor Osuntoki from Lagos State and his counterpart, Pastor Ibikunle, proclaimed the couple husband and wife, while the marriage certificate was handed over to them with the involvement of their respective families.

Pastor Adekunle and another cleric in their sermon, titled, ‘The Duty of the Husband and Wife’, while quoting from the book of Col : 3 vs12-19, charged the couple to give room for healthy communication and avoid third party to meddle in their affairs.

Adekunle said, “Third party should not be allowed into your relationship and you should be counseling each other and always be spirit filled. Be committed to God and always pray together. And finally, have the spirit of forgiveness.”

At the reception, which was held inside the precinct of Damlek Multipurpose Hall and Event Centre, also located along Housing Road, Oke Ila, Ado Ekiti, eminent Nigerians, business moguls, key players in the business industry, members of the Oyo State Motor Dealers’ Association, among others, converged to celebrate with the celebrants and their families.

The master of the ceremony, Obaloluwa, popularly called KINGLOLU, who added colour to the event, thereafter invited the chairman of the occasion, Mr Osunronbi to the high table, as the bride’s and groom’s parents, also made their way to the podium.

Osunronbi advised the couple, especially the groom to be very patient with his heathrob, stressing that peace, mutual understanding are key to a successful marriage.

Cutting of the cake was coordinated by Mrs. Osunronbi Titilola, which was followed by the toast of bride and groom, while Oluwakemi, in a symbolic style served her husband food with respect by kneeling down.

While speaking during interview with Apreel1 Events TV, family members and friends expressed their joy and fulfilment by appreciating the Almighty God for the success of the ceremony.
