He enjoined the couple to know that marriage is forever and requires patience, tolerance, love, and understanding, and that none of them should ever contemplate dissolution of the marriage unless they would be able to gather the same crowd of witnesses once again to do that.
He extolled Sir Monday Uko for his sterling qualities and mentorship for the younger generation, stressing that the attendance of dignitaries at the event was at the instance of their parents, who have made good names for themselves, and urged them to emulate and sustain their legacies.
