It was fun when Joy and Moyosore went to the altar to say 'Yes, I do'.
Families, friends and well wishers gathered for the celebration of love.
Many came in exotic cars, dressed in traditional attires.
The groom, Moyosore, wore a sharp blue suit with a white shirt; his bride was in a flowing cream gown with a pair of white flat shoes.
The bride's father was clad in an expensive black suit and white shirt. The groom's father was in blue agbada and cap to match.The couple's mothers wore the same pink native attire with a blue head gear and ipele to match.
The church hall was painted white and decorated in pink, blue and gold. For the reception at Banquet Event Centre, Ikeja, the decoration was the same as that of the church, but the chairs were set round tables. There were ushers at strategic points, welcoming guests and ensuring their comfort. They wore pink Ankara dress with black shoes. Itinerant drummers were rewarded for their service.
Igumbor Kingsley, a.k.a Kaycee and Akuidolo Oreraogbheme a.k.a. Forever were the masters of ceremony.
The event was spiced up by DJ Lammy and Ajegede live band.
Joy, a Nursing Science graduate of Babcock University in Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, hails from Delta State. Moyosore, an Economics graduate of the same school, is from Ogun State. He later studied International Business and Management at the University of Manchester for his Masters. They met seven years ago at Babcock.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu urged the couple to take good care of their children and love each other perfectly, noting that marriage comes with its ups and downs. Senator Tinubu said God would see them through.
She said the most important thing in the life of any couple is that they should have love just as the Bible says, 'Love conquers all things'.
"They should make sure that they are able to maintain the love they share, so that it will endure and keep them to the end. From loving each other, they will understand the love of Christ, and that is the most important love of all. I wish them all the best; a graceful life and a fruitful marriage,"she said.
Managing Director African Independent Television, Mrs Tosin Dokpesi urged the couple to put God first because without God they can never make a home.
"They should make God their solid rock so that things will go well and they should always pray for wisdom of God to guide them. I wish them all the best," she said.
A renowned essayist, Prof Adebayo Williams, said the wedding was a Nigerian wedding where two tribes have come together to be one.
Chairman of the occasion Prince Lowo Adedeji praised the parents for taking good care of their children.
Adedeji, the Chief Executive Officer of Oba Foot Holding Ltd, told the bride: "Be careful of your friends, especially the ones that are not married, or the ones that have issues with their marriages. There should be no third party in your marriage, not even your in-laws or your parents. Marriage is ordained by God, therefore, all issues should go back to God."
After the couples had kissed and cut the cake at the spelling of J-E-S-U-S, they took to the dancing floor. Others joined them.
Earlier at the church service, the opening prayer was said by the Revd Father Alfred Matthew Nworie.
The church choir sang the hymns and songs.
In his sermon, Bishop, Catholic Diocese of Ijebu-Ode, Bishop Albert Fasima, said marriage should be a reflection of the love of God. He urged the wife to be respectful, and told the husband: "Love your wife even as Christ loved the church."
He urged them to train their children in the way of the Lord, praying that God would grant them wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
The couple exchanged rings; after which they were presented as the latest couple in town.
The groom's father, Otunba Ogunnusi, enjoined the couple to be prayerful.
The bride's mother, Mrs. Olusola Njokanma, advised them to learn to forgive each other daily.
The groom described his wife as beautiful, pleasant and God-fearing.
"Her good heart got me attracted. Her behaviour, the way she stands out and the way she takes care of me is such that I longed for. I love her so much," Moyosore said.
Joy said: "I feel very happy and elated today because I am getting married to my better half and my superman. He is loving, caring, hard working and God-fearing. He loves me and I love him too."
