The groom, Inala Alafa expressed gratitude to God for making the marriage a reality as well as to all those who one way or the others contributed to the success, describing his bride as a kindhearted, calm, easy going and a lovely person with an understanding heart.

He advised single men to always rely on God’s guidance when looking for a life partner, saying that there is a woman for everyman but it takes God to give the woman or your dreams.
