If you’re blessed enough to marry your soul mate, all praises definitely go to the most high. 

On this lucky couple’s wedding day, the bride and her groom – on bended knee at the altar – can be seen in this amazing Instagram post rejoicing for the love they share. 

Captured by their photographer, Wale Ariztos, the new Mr. and Mrs. have their arms outstretched and it’s more than evident that the love they have for one other is real. 

The couple celebrated their nuptials in Nigerian attire as well, and of course, they looked flawless standing side-by-side all wrapped up in love.
