The Families of Chief (Sir) Sam Ihionu and Chief (Sir) Nnamdi Okwuonu have every reason to be joyous.
Come December 5th, 2020, their children, Chibuike Ihionu and Ebele Okwuonu will finally consummate the love they share as they are joined in holy matrimony at the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, Onitsha, Anambra State.
With invitation cards printed and distributed, and preparations in top gear, the wedding was initially fixed for Saturday, April 4th 2020 but just as all social and religious events slated for the months of March, April, May, June 2020, the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria forced the two families to postpone it.
While December 5th will see Chibuike and Ebele exchanging marital vows before a priest and the congregation, the Igbo traditional version of it will take place earlier on October 31st.
Consequently, all roads will lead to Chief (Sir) Okwuonu (Kwochaa) house at Nkwelle village Uke, for the traditional marriage that day.
The two lovebirds are well-read. Both had their higher education in reputable universities abroad.
Ebele, a lawyer got her first degree at the University of Liverpool, England, and did her Masters in Law (LLM) at the University of Nottingham, England.
Her heartthrob, Chibuike, on the other hand, has BSc. Computer Science from the University of Derby, UK (Malaysia Campus) and MSc. International Human Resources Management from Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
Exceedingly joyous and happy, the Okwuonu and Ihionu families say friends, well-wishers and associates are most humbly invited to share in the joy of their children.
