It was indeed ordained by God. By the grace of God I feel I have moved to the next level of life. I met my wife when I was a student. She was living close to my apartment and I was the one helping her. So from there, we fell in love and that\u2019s what led to today\u2019s occasion,\u201d Thankgod narrated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were many challenges, but with God on our side we have been scaling through. Though my wife is blind, she\u2019s doing well. It is a thing of joy to be with her. When I said I want to marry, many people were against me, but as a man I know what I want and I went for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realized that there is ability in disability, that a person is blind doesn\u2019t mean he\/she can\u2019t go to school. My wife is a civil servant and works in the Ministry of Education. So I wish we will continue in the mutual understanding we have built, because understanding matters so much in any marriage\u201d, said the groom.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, the bride described the moment as the best time of her life since she was born.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the best time of my life since I was born. Thanks be to God for achieving my dream. I was attracted to my husband because he is a God fearing person, nice and loving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out the photos below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237408\"  data-lazy- src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/visually-impaired-couple-get-married-1.jpeg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/visually-impaired-couple-get-married-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237408\"  \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237406\"  data-lazy- src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/visually-impaired-couple-get-married.jpeg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"832\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/visually-impaired-couple-get-married.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237406\"  \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237409\"  data-lazy- src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/visually-impaired-couple-get-married-2.jpeg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/visually-impaired-couple-get-married-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237409\"  \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The brave move by the visually impaired\u00a0couple has shown that truly \u201clove is blind\u201d they say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; &#8211; A visually impaired couple from Nigeria has gone viral after they got married in a wedding ceremony that attracted over 15 Catholic priests and government functionaries in Nigeria\u2019s Anambra state.
