Two hundred couples got married same day at Saint Theresa’s Catholic Church, Uzoakwa, Ihiala in Ihiala Council Area in Anambra State, IgbereTV reports.

The biannual mass wedding held on Friday, December 18, was presided over by the Auxiliary Bishop of Umuahia, Diocese, Most Reverend Dr. Michael Ukpong.

In his homily during the Pontifical High Mass, Most Reverend Ukpong described a proper marriage as one that shows unity in Christ and Church.

He reminded the couples that the union is a journey of no return and therefore, should abide by the promises made to each other and particularly charged the grooms to love their wives and brides to obey and respect their husbands.

Addressing the gathering during reception, the Anambra State Governor’s wife, Dr. Ebelechukwu Obiano represented by the Transition Committee Chairman of Ihiala Local Government Area, Mr. Jude Obiwuru defined the wedding as a great thing aimed at channeling the minds of the couples to raising Godly children, who will be good ambassador of the state.

This Life nor fit settle



While some are looking for 5m to lavish on their wedding day, some can’t even afford 100k for their own


God help us

You see from the pictures, none of the brides there is a minor and most of these couples are already living together and have children, such mass wedding is a way the Catholic Church is motivating them to regularize their union in the Church and to cut off the no Church marriage because of lack of money.
