High Chief Emmanuel Nnokwute Gives Out Daughter’s Hand In Marriage In Grand Style 

The wedding ceremony between the two love birds titled: P&M Forever 2023, was simply a love story about a young lawyer, Promise, the beautiful daughter of High Chief Emmanuel Nnokwute from Umualoma community in Ideato North LGA, Imo State, and her handsome heartthrob, Mr. Michael Ngige, a top civil servant in a Federal Government parastatal. A case of two beautiful hearts beating very strongly as one.

The colourful wedding ceremony between Promise and Michael is one that would linger for a very long time in the memories of those in attendance. Family members both from Anambra and Imo were present; business associates and friends of the bride’s father, High Chief Emmanuel Nnokwute, turned out in their numbers to honour the invitation of a very good and kindhearted man.

Having met and performed all the marriage rites by the groom’s family in the presence of their Umualaoma-Ideato in-laws, it became a pleasant scenario as the parents of the bride, Promise, High Chief & Lolo  Emmanuel Nnokwute released their blessings on the couple they held each other’s hands warmly during the pouring of traditional libations and blessings. It was simply a pleasant atmosphere filled with excitement as obviously expressed on the faces of both families, relatives and  well wishers.

While releasing fatherly blessings on his  daughter, Promise Nnokwute, and her heartthrob, Mr. Michael Ngige, High Chief Emmanuel Nnokwute, a serial entrepreneur, successful businessman, community leader and philanthropist, prayed with mixed of emotion:

“The most challenging part of parenthood is the need to let your children go. While we want to hold on to them for as long as we can, wonderful events like this occur and it reminds us that we have raised them well enough to take care of themselves and the new people around them”.

“My blessings are with you as you start a fresh journey of your life as husband and wife. May the good Lord remain the bedrock of this union and shower you  with all the blessings that come with it. You shall have both male and female children, and as many as you have chosen to give birth to. You shall not lack the necessary resources to raise and train your children.”

On a rather friendly and soft note, he urged his son in-law, Mr. Michael Ngige, to take good care of his daughter, Promise, knowing that she is a well trained child from a highly responsible and disciplined home without forgetting to emphasize that he is marrying a well educated lady, a lawyer at that.

The bridal train adorned different glamorous styles in green, black and a touch of gold, which were the colours of the day. In her first appearance, the beautiful bride wore a combination of black and gold Ishiagu attire with beads to match her outfit. In her second appearance, her red and a touch of white outfit bespoke class and elegance.

Promise’s friends were all over her  during the ceremony, as they sang, danced and cheered her on as she went to meet her husband. The groom was also excited as he danced and responded to hailing from his friends. Spraying of money was another notable activity at the event, as several of the couple’s guests ‘made it rain cash’. The couple was also a sight for sore eyes as they complemented each other beautifully.

On the part of the bride’s father, High Chief Emmanuel Nnokwute (Ugodinaobi of Umualoma), his family members, relatives and friends both from Nigeria and Ghana turned up in a show of  solidarity, support and love to a kindhearted man who always comes through for his friends in good and bad times. Some of his friends, who attended the traditional wedding ceremony of his daughter included but not limited to:

HRH Eze Anthony Ndubuisi Nwachukwu JP (Oreigbo N’Anya ll of Umualoma Ancient Kingdom), Convener of Ghana-Nigeria Achiever’s Award, Comr. Barry Ndu, Mr. Henry Osuoha, Prince Raphael Njoku, Chief Fade Ogoni, Pst. Felix Oguamanam, J.J Communications- Ghana, among others.

The soft speaking but sound son-in-law, Mr. Michael Ngige, was also accompanied by his parents Mr. & Mrs. Titus Ngige, who are top public civil servants in Anambra State as his friends and associates turned up for their buddy. Among those in the colourful entourage of his men included:  Hon. Barr. Amaeze Osigwe , Mr. Chidike Ngige, Charles Chukaokeke, a Media Personality, Ebuka Aronu, textile merchant,  Isdore Nwaakor, a businessman,Ejezie Michael, Celestine Ngige, Ebuka Nnokwute.

It was indeed, a very colourful and successful wedding ceremony in every sense of objective analysis; friendly weather, good atmosphere of social convivality, massive attendance, accommodating in-laws, as all who attended the wedding had more than enough to eat, drink and even takeaway.
