A sweet story of love that
conquers all social boundaries.
A beautiful Nigerian woman
on Saturday, September 7, walked down the aisle with her visually impaired
husband in a wedding ceremony which took place at St. Williams Catholic Church
in Lafia, Nasarawa State capital.
It would have been like any
other wedding except for the way the social media went crazy about how love
happens.
The beautiful bride said to
be from Plateau State said, ‘I Do’ to her husband from Kogi state while cheered
on by her family, friends, and well-wishers.
A Facebook user, Nora Chika
who shared photos from the event, wrote: “WONDERS shall never end, beautiful
Plateau bride and her handsome blind groom. I witness the I DO I DO today, no
be say na money the bride see, this is indeed true love. May God bless their
union I pray,” she wrote in Pidgin English.
It is a known fact across
many climes that physically challenged folks are stigmatized and often
ostracized due to their conditions. From the workplace, love and relationships,
and opportunities, they are part of the oppressed. For a woman to marry a
physically impaired man, she must have crossed the social hurdles from friends
and associates.
The photos of the newly
wedded couple immediately went viral, as it further gives credence to the
notion of love is limitless. This sweet story of love can teach today’s youth
that love knows no barrier and it never discriminates.
