In the midst of this, the bride stole the show when she danced to the ceremonial arena escorted by the damsels in full glare of V.I.Ps and other attendees. The couple dance brought the ovation to the loudest as people joined them in dancing.
Earlier, the father of the bride, Arch Godpower N. Eleba has admonished the couple to live in peace with the fear of God even as he wished them happy married life.
