Nigerian gospel artist Steve Crown has married his partner, Ruth Thomas, in a heartfelt ceremony held on Saturday in Abuja, drawing widespread reactions across social media.
A video shared by fellow gospel singers Joe Praize and Neon Adeojo captured a touching moment during the wedding when Ruth, dressed in a stunning white gown, knelt before Crown while taking her vows. Her act of reverence sparked mixed reactions online, with many praising the gesture as a symbol of love, humility, and respect.
In her vows, Ruth promised unwavering support, unconditional love, and a lifelong commitment. “I will be your heaven of peace and source of unwavering support… I choose you every day, and honour our sacred bond,” she declared emotionally.
