This picture was taken at our vow renewal ceremony 12 year after our court wedding. We both wanted a wedding ceremony in Church and we did at the Holy Cross Cathedral and a reception party followed at the Federal Palace Hotel which had just been upgraded then. On my bridal train were @sonia_irabor who took her role as little bride rather seriously and @mrmav3rick who was probably thinking āyou guys, just free me alreadyā My Maid of Honour was @gracekroboedusei (why āMaidā though?) Oga @ogieeboigbe played the role of Best man to his brother and friend @iraborsoniHereās wishing everyone tying the knot today āHappy Married Lifeā but good marriages donāt just happen!!
Listen! The fact that we hear so many negative news about married couples getting divorced every day doesnāt mean there are no true happy marriages out there either. āForever afterā just requires a lot of commitment, more open communication, empathy as well as Trust. You canāt love someone you do not trust! š And you do not bail on someone you love at the first sign of āinconvenienceā …There will always be DEM days….But you will be alright as long as you focus on the best of both of you and not the worst … And remember, the grass is not always greener on the other side…Ā “
