The officiating priest, who is also the vicar of the parish, Rev Prosper Ezebilo called on the new couple to continue to uphold the vows they took before God and the congregation and pray that their union will be a point of reference to the society.
Delivering the sermon Rev Onyekachukwu Enemuo reminded the couple that they are one body and charged them to remain faithful to one another.
