by The wife of the Governor of Cross River State, Dr. Linda Ayade, has congratulated Mr & Mrs Chisom Victor, whose marriage was solemnized yesterday, 26th June, 2021 at St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Ikot Ansa.
Speaking at the wedding reception after presenting a car gift on behalf of herself and family to the couple, the Governor’s wife enjoined the couple to build their marriage foundation around God in order to enjoy the marriage.
The wedding which was attended by the Governor, His Excellency, Sen (Prof.) Ben Ayade, was officiated by Rev. Fr. Cletus Udoh and Rev. Fr. John Awoke.
Fr. Awoke took his sermon from the Gospel of Mark 10 vs 9, where Jesus said “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” and centred his message on love from the man and respect from the woman.
In an interview, Dr. Linda advised the couple to always go to God before they take any major decision, even during disagreements.
She urged them to learn to solve their problems without involving third parties but God. She concluded by saying “I want to tell them that if they build their marriage foundation all around God they’ll enjoy the marriage.”
Highlights of the event were marital vows, cutting of cake, nuptial dance, entertainment, refreshments, and presentation of gifts, amongst others.
