An Italian couple recently stunned the people of Imo State when they wedded in a rural community of the state.
While many Nigerians would give an arm to have their wedding in Dubai, London, Paris or any other beautiful city in the world, an Italian couple, Kevin Prattico and Carmola Guardsch, chose the rustic community of Umuduruzo in Amaigbo, Nwangele council area of Imo State to consummate their marital union. On August 17, Kevin Prattico and his wife Carmola Guardsch, who work for....
Azione Verde, a Non-Governmental Organization at Amaigbo, decided to have both their traditional and Christian weddings in the town to the delight and amazement of the locals who trooped out en masse to witness their marriage.
Speaking to Oriental News, Prattico revealed that their decision to have their wedding at Umuduruzo community was because of their love for the African culture.
He said that they also considered themselves as part of the community since they have lived and worked among the people of the community.
He said that the people of the ommunity are very hospitable just as they see them irrespective of their colour and race as part of the community.
During the traditional wedding, Chief Isaac Duru while performing the traditional rites between the Italian couple commended them for their love and appreciation of the Igbo culture.
He also admonished them to love each other as husband and wife, adding that in Igbo culture marriage is a highly valued institution as he thanked God for bringing them together.
Similarly, the Parish Priest of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church,
Reverend Father Boniface Duru, a native of Umuduruzo, who officiated
at the Christian wedding while blessing the couple encouraged them to live in peace and to put God first in all they do to merit his immense blessings.
Congrats Kevin Prattico and Carmola Guardsch!
