When a man and woman decide to come together and start a family, a celebration of love and life party is thrown and in the presence of friends and family, they exchange sacred oaths. However, marriage is a societal created institution and just like every other system orchestrated by society, it either fails or works depending on the candidates.
Nigerian celebrities have managed to find a way to keep the eyes of the public on them. With social media, they show the best of their lives and have millions wishing to be just like them. It takes a new turn when two celebrities decide to come together as husband and wife, fans unite and love stories are rewritten in the hearts of many.
