"Why I Decided To Wed Inside Church" - Actress Ruby Ojiakor Defends Her Wedding Venue Choice

Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has decisively addressed critics who questioned her choice to marry in her husband’s church.

 In a recent Instagram post during her wedding celebrations at St. Philips Anglican Church in Asaba, Ruby shared a candid video of herself delivering a Bible reading, making it clear that the venue was chosen with love, respect, and a deep commitment to her partner.

In her post, Ruby firmly responded to those who argued that a bride should wed in her own church. Her message read:

"Yes I wedded at ST PHILIPS ANGLICAN CHURCH… MY HUSBAND’S CHURCH. And for those of you saying it’s wrong, that it’s supposed to be in the woman’s church — please, when it gets to your turn, do as it pleases you, ok? As for me, I wedded in my husband’s church because he married me in full. He’s the head of the family. My King, I love, adore and respect you so much. God bless you all and stop dragging me unnecessarily. LOVE STORY WRITTEN IN HEAVEN. TWO HEARTS, ONE SOUL."

Ruby’s impassioned response not only reaffirms her personal conviction but also challenges traditional expectations by reminding skeptics that a marriage is a union founded on mutual respect and heartfelt commitment. By choosing to honor her husband’s spiritual home, she emphasizes that the true essence of matrimony lies in the sacred bond between two people, rather than in adherence to conventional norms.

Her words have resonated with many who see in her decision a reflection of evolving traditions in modern relationships—a reminder that personal choices in celebrating love should be respected and celebrated. Ruby’s confident stance invites a broader conversation about gender roles, cultural expectations, and the freedom to define one’s own path in matters of the heart.
