“There comes a time in a man’s life when he needs to settle and there is no better time than now.
For years, my major prayer point has been for God to give me a Life and Destiny partner that can understand my complex nature, as well as my calling to serve God and Humanity and vice versa.
I have discovered that marriage is not only about procreation and pleasure. Just as significantly, it is about two people coming together to achieve the assignment given to them by God, the Creator of the institution of marriage.
The traditional marriage took place at his wife’s compound, Alor in Anambra State on the 15th of November 2020. The ceremony was attended by celebrities, friends, and family of the movie star. His wife Brunella Oscar shared her story with wedding digest naija on Instagram, she narrates how she sent him a message on Facebook after watching his videos ‘’I heard a voice saying this is my husband”
Brunella Oscar has recounted how they met.
She explained that she reached out first in November 2016 after watching one of his videos online.
She said that she was randomly scrolling through Facebook on 22 November 2016 when she stumbled on the video and started watching it and while watching the video, she heard a voice saying, “This is my husband”.
She immediately sent an inbox message to Williams that evening.
She didn’t get a reply immediately, yet she said she went to school the next day, “happy and smiling” and telling everyone that she had met her husband the night before. They thought she was crazy.
She said she got a reply from him on the afternoon of November 23, 2016, and he asked her where she’s from.
After she told him, she asked where he’s from and he replied: “I am from that state your mother doesn’t want you to marry from.”
She said he gave her his number then and asked her to send him a message on WhatsApp.
That same night, he video-called her and they spoke for hours. This became the norm every night and marked the beginning of their relationship.
It’s now revealed that the white wedding will be taking place on the 21st of November 2020.
Congratulations to the Uchembas on their traditional marriage and white wedding ceremony to come, from all of us at City people magazine.
