The high society wedding kicked off at the Synagogue Church of All Nations SCOAN where Gbenga and his beautiful bride, Judith were joined in a holy matrimony.
Delivering the homily at the solemn service shortly after Gbenga and Judith were joined man and wife, Evangelist Chisom in a message titled: The Christian Home, urged the newlywed to make God the chief husbandman of their union. He emphasized the place of prayer in marriage and implored them to make God and prayer the foundation of their union.
“The Christian home does not just happen it is built, It requires total commitment. Christ Jesus is the foundation of the Christian home. Anything rooted in Christ Jesus will stand the text of time.
“A successful marriage does not involve two perfect people so with this in mind both couple must bear in mind that they are one another’s strength. You are because I am, i am because you are.
“Husband you must love your wife as Chris loved the the church, wife you must be submissive to your husband.”
The wedding ceremony which ended with plenty of pomp and excitement later shifted to the Noble Castle Event Centre for a classy, colourful reception with the crème de la crème in attendance.

The ambience of the hall became electrified with thunderous applause when the SCOAN choristers mounted the stage to serenade guests with some of their famous songs, songs that drew the new couple and their parents to the dancing floor.
Speaking with Global Affairs Magazine in an exclusive interview, the bride, Mrs. Judith Gbenga Adegoke, expressed profound gratitude to God as she glided from the league of the ‘unmarried ladies’ to the class of the married women.
