•As girlfriend in viral video later accepted his proposal
Remember a video that went viral over the weekend where a Nigerian man was stopped from proposing to his girlfriend during a wedding service.
Recalled that in the video, a pastor was seen stopping the man from proposing to the lady, saying he wasn’t aware of their relationship and didn’t give the man consent to engage the lady in the church.
The man whose name is Emokpae Ehis, has however spoken to one LIB to tell his own side of the story.
According to him, he has been going out with his girlfriend, Gloria for over 7 months now and he decided to propose to her at her elder sister’s wedding which held at Souls Harvester at Udu road in Delta state.
Read what Ehis said:
I am the guy that got engaged and this took place in Soul Harvesters church. My name is Ehis Emokpae. I didn’t regret and will never regret any of my act.
I am so happy I engaged her in the presence of God and her biological parents was right there and the pastor is just a spiritual father. I am the guy and the family know me very well..
She accepted the ring that’s what matters to me. The bride is the elder sister to the girl I engaged. The pastor said it was the church doctrine not to do that. I have been quiet for days about this issue because i dont want to judge a man of God to the public… But the case is out anywaY.
The last prayer for that service was taking place already. The consent of a pastors is not needed before proposing to his member. She needs to accept getting married to you before reaching out to their various pastors,,, i see no wisdom in such act… Engaging your girl in the presence of God is the best thing as a Christian..
I dont believe that was the church doctrine. It was the pastors doctrine… And another thing, i wasn’t stealing someone else’s show. The pastor to the groom’s church wasn’t happy about what the brides pastor did in that service. Right in the service people where congratulating the both of us. Please no body should insult the pastor or the church Souls Harvester… I just want people to get the clear picture of what happened”
