72-year old Man and His Wife Finally Ties the Knot After Living Together for 45 Years

Two old persons who have lived together without actually being husband and wife for up to 45 years have finally decided to tie the knot.

 

The old couple

 

A 72-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman who have been living together for more than 45 years without bride price but have tied the knot, were joined in Holy Matrimony yesterday, Saturday, February 20 at Omega Power Ministries, Port Harcourt.

 

The church announced the good news on their Facebook page, adding that they bankrolled the weddings of other 140 couples who have been living together for many years without legal marriage.

 

 

They provided money for the bride price, wedding gown for brides, suit, shirt and even ties for the grooms absolutely free of charge.

 

"Why did I decide to do this ?" the Pastor asked.

 

"Every day I get sleepless night because of the amount of people living together when God has not joined them. IT IS A SIN BEFORE GOD. Do you know that; one out of every five people you see in the street are living together without being legally married," he said.

 

"If Rapture happens now , they will all miss Rapture. So what is the solution ? Solution Number one: Couples must Live apart until you get money to WED. Which is very risky. Any of those women can be my sister or maybe she already has 5 children. The woman will suffer. And a strange woman may take advantage to come in.

 

Solution number two: Legalise their union. But many don't have money to legalize it. They already have children, but no money to pay bride price. So that is why I decided to intervene, so when Rapture happens they shall not be found wanting."
