According to the cleric, God instituted marriage as a covenant for companionship, procreation and for redemption, adding that God was a witness in the marriage covenant.

The marriage ceremony between Nancy and Aghogho was conducted by the Zonal Co-ordinator, Warri Zone 3 of Church of God Mission, Udu province, Revd. Prof. Jonathan Idialu who presided over the ceremony.

Highlight of the ceremony which was attended by the wife of the state governor, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori among other top government functionaries, was the signing of the marriage register by the couple after they were pronounced husband and wife by Revd. Prof. Idialu.
