Taking to social media to share her story, Biodun Okeowo (Omoborty) wrote about her journey to marriage saying:

OMOBORTY: A BIT OF MY STORY! 😊

As a young girl, I always dreamed of wearing a beautiful white wedding dress and having an intimate garden ceremony, a simple, elopement-style wedding with just me and my Prince Charming. No crowds 😊

Hmmmm! My mom, a staunch Christian and prayer warrior, always hoped her only daughter would marry properly, with her bride price paid. But life took a different turn, it didn’t go as we planned. I remember days I and my mom would talk about how colorful my wedding day would be. 😭

My biggest pain on my wedding day was that my mom wasn’t there to witness it. RIP, Mom! I miss you deeply, and no one can ever fill your void. 😢 The tears from you not being here anymore are tears I’m not sure will ever dry! 😭

As a single mom, I once felt my dreams were shattered. I was judged and labeled, but God rewrote my story. My children are the greatest gifts of my life. God never makes mistakes. He does everything at the right time. 😊

Today, I celebrate God for blessing me with the man of my dreams, the children I prayed for, and the family I longed for.

Rejoice with me, and if you desire a similar testimony, tap into it, because I’ve gone through my share of heartbreaks and sheges but God came through, giving me exactly what I prayed for.

No matter how dark the tunnel may seem, there’s always light at the end.

I pray for everyone crying out to God for a change. He will rewrite your story, and your testimony shall be permanent! Amen 🙏

To God all be the glory! 😊❤️

Happy New Year!
