Gospel filmmaker, Mike Bamiloye, has said that although she and his wife, Gloria, have been married for decades, they got their marriage certificate only six years ago.
They went for it when an embassy required it.
According to him, he could not afford the registry cost of N170 when they were about to wed.
He shared the touching story of their grass-to-grace story in an online post: “Me, whose wedding was helped by grace. When I got married, I didn’t have any money to take my wife to a honeymoon. We stayed in the house that we just rented. No Money for Honeymoon.
Shey me that it was my Sister-in-Law who graciously bought the shoes and socks that I wore on my Wedding Day.
“Gloria and I went around to see where we could rent a Wedding gown and we got a place and told them we would come back with the money before a Sister in our Ministry gave us the money to deposit for sowing a Wedding Gown.
“So we went to the Wedding without the Registry. So we never had a Government Marriage Certificate until about Six years ago when and Embassy demanded it, because we didn’t have the money for Court Marriage. All the Money we got on our Wedding day was used to settle the debts of the printer who printed out Wedding Programs and other things.
“So, two days after our Wedding, we had no money on us again.
